I-Firefox Community Forum

Dear forum, I had to reinstall Firefox and now a tab opens for every request/every time I open a new page. I don't want it to be like this, but only open a new tab upon explicit request. Where can I change this setting? Thank you, Sirpa

The tabs and groups do not show up in the History or the Recent tab groups areas. The recently closed windows button is grayed out. and the recovery files from; sessionstore-backups do not contain the tabs. How do i get them back?

How to sort Tab Groups alphabetically in the Add Tab to Group Menu?

I want to add tabs to groups bit the groups are changing their position and it would be very helpful to (optionally) have the freedom to sort Tab Groups to appear alphabetically in that menu!

But that should NOT affect the sorting order in the browser window!

But of course it also would be helpful to have the freedom to also sort the tab groups order in the main windows, but please make it a different sort order than in the Add to Tab Group menu dropdown.

Thanks!

I clicked on auto restore previous session about six months ago. The session I had open that day of about 20 (now completely irrelevant) tabs opens every time I open my browser. I have to close them all to start a new work day.

I found a work- around. If I go to History and clicking on Restore Previous Session within the History setting yhis took me to my last session. Now the browser is starting to add additional tabs I had open during that previous day. This is a nightmare - I never have a clear browser. How to stop this? I use my History. I don't want to delete History and clear all of the cache and the browser memory. I have put in a request for help before 2-3 months ago. That was the only suggestion. Some idiot invented this option. The same idiot needs to work out how to fix this bug. (apologies to the volunteers who read this - I appreciate your thoughts).

I usually have three tabs pinned for easy access. Upon using the new "add tab to taskbar" feature though, there's a problem.

If I use the button to pop out youtube music for example and then close the version of the browser that it came from, and that my pinned tabs are on, any subsequent times I try to open firefox won't keep the tabs pinned. This also happens if I attach youtube music to my taskbar permanently and try to open it from there and then try to open firefox regularly.

FF 150.0.1 - CTRL + 1 - this shortcut fails to work as designed

It not only does not change focus to TAB no. 1, but also does not focus the tab it does select. That the second part above occurs may be, as far as I know, how it always has worked.

I'd like to make it so every time I click a link to navigate a certain website, it opens in a new tab. I don't want every link I press across the web to open in new tabs, just this one site. Can't find any settings or extensions for this, but it seems like something someone must have made. Can anyone help?

When I restart Firefox on my PC, many tabs in at least one window will be moved from their position. Usually to the end of open tabs within that window. I've been dealing with this for years and never heard a response from anyone else. It is very annoying as many of my tabs are set up in a sequence. I have to find the first one, manually select them all, and then use the command to move them to the start of the window.

I am trying again to see who else has experienced this problem and if there are solutions for it.

This is true particularly with ChatGPT and Claude, but has happened on other tabs in the past couple of days. When I am on a different tab, and I click on a "problem" tab to view that content- it duplicates the tab instantly. If I click on "x" to close it, it duplicates again. I can close with Ctrl-W. It seems like certain tabs are "magic" tabs, because sometimes I can click the "x" to close a duplicate tab without issue. But when I go back to the original problem tab- the behavior persists. I don't really want to purge the cache for these sites, but I will if I have to. I had installed a new extension (TamperMonkey) a few weeks ago, but everything seemed fine until a couple days ago. I disabled that extension yesterday, but the problem persists. This problem existed before the latest Firefox update. I went to check the previous version number before posting (I update frequently) and it updated today.

Thank you for your help!

Two weeks ago I started getting popups telling me to use tab groups (pic below). I have no settings governing tab groups, I did not update Firefox, I didn't enable or change anything.

How to I turn this off?

bold textEVERY TIME I OPEN A NEW WINDOW IT CREATES A NEW TAB. IT CREATES A LIST OF TABS I MUST THEN CLEAR. HOW DO I CHANGE IT TO REPLACLE MY CURRENT WINDOW INSTEAD?

I cannot add much to the description. I'll make the comment that having to look into the history to find a tab supposedly at hand is inefficient and a waste of time.
