After the latest update, when I move a tab to the start of the line, it shrinks down to something unreadable. Before, it stayed the same size, with tabs all being the same size as each other, that size being dependent on how many tabs were open ONLY. How do I turn off this "Feature" ? I liked it the old way. I don't even know exactly what to look up to try to fix it.

I also hated tab groups, with my tabs suddenly moving around on me. I hate having to do research and maintenance every time I get an update. If this keeps happening, I may just stop updating or go to Chrome or something.

Hi, I just got an update message about AI-enhanced tab groups linking to this article for more information:https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-use-ai-enhanced-tab-groups#firefox:win11:fx142

However, while it does say it's a slow rollout it doesn't say anywhere how I can permanently disable this feature so that I never have to see it. I do not want any AI crap in my browser. There's plenty enough of this shit shoved down my throat from every direction as it is. If you're going to bake AI into the Firefox browser then I'd rather leave Firefox and find a different browser.

So my Firefox updated itselfbold text to 143.0.1 and I get this message that I can now unload tabs. Yet when I right click, there is no option to unload.

There are four tabs on the tab line that did not close out when I turned off the computer. Each time I come on the tabs are still there. I can close them out individually but they come on again when I sign in again. Also, I can not use the "home" button to utilize Google.

I sometimes spend an extraordinary amount of time writing a forum entry or online email -- sometimes 5+ hours -- just to get it to say exactly what I want it to say. And all too frequently, I accidentally press C-W (the delete-word key on my editor), and my work is instantly gone. I spent several days attempting to solve this problem. Apparently I'm not the only one who has lost data this way. Entries on Reddit pointed me to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1378404#answer-1510431. I followed the instructions carefully, and double-checked my work, but C-W still kills my current tab. The issue had been archived, but not solved.

I am a programmer (but certainly not in JavaScript), so I try to take technically complex solutions in stride. But after letting things percolate thru my mind for a few days, I realized that I'm not being fair. FireFox is marketed for public consumption. And it's not fair to my sisters, my mother, or other folks who have never programmed anything in their life, to pretend like a solution that might have worked for me (but didn't), would be even a little bit comprehensible to them. I was particularly struck, by something that the moderator said -- not by his words, per se, but by the perspective that his words revealed:

--- Only closing a window (Ctrl+Shift+W) could possibly make Firefox display a warning, closing a tab is always done without a --- warning as you can reopen a closed tab via Ctrl+Shift+T.

Who would know that? I would venture to guess that 99% of FireFox's users don't even know that you can control FireFox from your keyboard -- let alone actually want to do it. People control their browsers with their mouse. They use their keyboards only to type in forum entries and such, or to scroll up/down thru a webpage. I can see where devs might prefer to control/test FireFox from their keyboards, but I'm surprised that they would leave tens of undocumented shortcuts lying about like landmines that everyday users could stumble onto.

So I'm requesting that FireFox disable Ctrl+W and Ctrl+Shift+W (which are the most dangerous shortcuts), by default. Ideally, it would provide an about:config entry so that devs could re-enable those shortcuts if they wish to. By the way, the referenced support entry lists only 1 person with this problem, and only 6 replies. But it lists 2124 views.

Thank you

I just updated to the most recent Firefox version and read about the unload feature. Sound great, but when I right click on the tab the menu does not have unload as an option.

[Improve side bar] Create the ability to create customized tabs and organize pinned and unpinned tabs to categories

in that case it would be more user friendly and increase productivity

I've used the community here and I get 4 year old answers, some of which do not fir the current settings lists, those do not help. I have tried everything and the only thing that works is to force the new tab by right clicking and forcing open in new tab.

On my previous windows 10 computer, when I clicked on a link in an e-mail it would bring up a new page. Under the new version of firefox for windows 11 I can't figure out how to set it to let me do this.

I was trying to log into my netgear account and I needed to reset my password so it sent me a code to do so. After it sent the code when I click on my e-mail it takes me out of the netgear page where I am supposed to input the code?

Appreciate any help. Brian

Tabs disappeared after I updated (as suggested) to the latest Firefox version (Version 142.0.1). My bookmarks were retained, but my tabs disappeared. How can I find them? When I look at "recently closed tabs" under "History," I only see tabs from today, none that were on the previous version of Firefox.

I just updated to Firefox 142.0.1, and the list all tabs button has returned. I tried the old fix by going into about:config and setting the browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled = false as I was originally shown, but it doesn't seem to work. I don't know why, as it seemed to be fine the last few versions. I did recently sync my browser with another one on a windows 11 machine (which I suspect I'll be returning soon, as I prefer windows 10 to windows 11), but I can't imagine that being the reason, I don't think. Can anyone help figure out how to turn this thing back off?

Is it possible to make it so the ctrl+tab function and ctrl+shift+tab function takes you to the next and previous tab with each press respectively, rather than back and forth between the same two tabs like it is now.

Thank you, Jithu.

Hello,

I have my browser startup settings set to 'open previous windows and tabs' However, every time I start up firefox, it is on the default new window screen rather than my previous tabs. This feels frustrating as I have to reopen the tabs every time.

Would it be possible to fix this?

Thank you.

Hi, Since the search open tabs function is part of the overflow button in a horizontal tab layout, when you switch to vertical tabs, you lose that search function. Is there a way to add it to my vertical tab layout? Thanks, Scott
