Hello,

My fire fox keeps muting all tabs when I have more than 1 tab running with any audio. Discord and any other app with sound can mute everything too. I need to close everything that uses audio and then reload the web page with only that 1 tab open in order for audio to start working again.

Please and thank you~

I'm extremely frustrated with firefox at this point for not being able to do something very simple which google chrome has. I want to organize my tabs into groups so that the next time my tabs close unexpectedly, I can open all of the ones from that group. I naturally organize them right now into windows and I minimize the window if I'm not using the tabs in that window. However, my new laptop cannot handle having more than 3 windows with 5 tabs open at a time. Last week, I was on a video call and firefox closed all of my windows that I had organized my tabs into. Once I was able to reboot firefox, I could not click "restore session" because I needed to get on the video call. Then the "restore session" button was lost. Many of the tabs I haven't touched for a few weeks, even though they were all organized together, I can't find them in my history together because I wasn't using them all on the same day and some of them were sitting unused but on a digital to do list within that window. I've tried every single tab organizer that is "recommended" on the firefox extensions and they all suck. I don't understand why they automatically hide my tab groups and then I can't open them again, I don't understand why I need to duplicate a tab to mark it in a certain container, it just feels like none of these are simple and none of them will do what I want them to. I want to speak to a real person. I need help. I don't think I can use firefox anymore. Why is there no help people here.

Are the following operations possible?

1. open new tabs in the background from history windows without switching window.

2. clicked a history in the history window, do not move the screen to the top.

It is inconvenient that the screen changes and the display position changes after selecting the history.

Sorry for my poor English. Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. :)

I've recently switched from Brave and I've noticed that Firefox opens a new tab whenever I launch the browser instead of resuming to the previous tab I was on before closing it, I've tried to set the pinned tab as the default home tab but it just launches it in a new tab instead of opening the pinned tab. Is there a setting to disable this?

Long term issue of losing pinned tabs because I break a tab off the main firefox instance to work on it in a seperate window and then at some stage I close the firefox window that contains the pinned tabs AND AFTER I close the breakout tab and this seems to remember that no pinned tabs ever existed. This behaviour is idiotic and clearly buggy, certainly shouldn't be a feature or normal behaviour.

The pinned tabs feature is advertised as placing permanently some tabs that open for sure at every launch of firefox in a known location to the left - things we use just about everyday (gmail, iCloud, reddit etc), hence their permanence and it seems to be impossible to code something that if NO firefox window is opened then when we launch Firefox we get the default view of our pinned tabs and a fresh page OR default homepage etc.

Seems ridiculous to me. Whats the logic here ? I vote FOR making this a permanent feature.

Hello When I open the main browser and open a number of tabs, then I open the incognito browser, after that I close the main browser and open it again, the pages that were open do not appear Also, I enabled the option - Open previous windows and tabs

How do I enable container tabs? The option to open a new link in a container tab has disappeared and the prompt doesn't show up when I long press the new tab button either

A few months ago (maybe for a year?), after a certain update, I found that I cannot create new tabs directly in private window. That is to say, ctrl+T does not work, same for clicking the + button near the tabs or hitting the "new tab" from the drop down list. However, any of the action mentioned above works as expected when it is in a normal window.

I do not have any extension related with tab management, and I really cannot figure out why this is happening, so I was always expecting the next update will fix this issue.

I have many opened cards and sometimes I`d like duplicater the one that is in the middle. When I duplicate the card, the new duplicated card opens at the end of all opened cards. But I`d like to have it as the next to the origin card that is being duplicated. How to fix that ? Thanx for help.

When I scroll through the tabs and I do not wait a bit after the next tab is shown, then often Firefox decides to jump suddenly about 10 tabs. This is really irritating because it requires me every time to search for the tab where I was. I am using Firefox 112.0.2 (64-bit) for Windows.

In my opinion this is a design mistake. Fast jumping can be a nice feature but only when the user specifically requests it. For instance by holding down the control key while clicking on the scroll button. Now it makes scrolling actually very slow since you have to wait after the next tab is shown to avoid the large jump.

This issue was raised a few years ago and a solution was mentioned here:

But this solution appears not to work anymore. Is there a working solution to avoid the large jumps?

I lost my tabs again today at start-up. I went to history & did "Open All In Tabs" for about 200 tabs...most of the important ones did not come back. I can't be doing this on a regular basis. You've spoiled me with the tabs staying on the browser every day. But, even though I've used Mozilla for years, I may have to find something else I can trust! This is twice now...I can't spend this kind of time trying to recover things (many of which I can't get to).

Whenever I open a link in a new tab from a pinned tab (using ctl-click "open in new tab" or cmd+clicking) it switches to that tab, even with "switch to new tab immediately" disabled. I would like it to just open the new tab and not switch to it, but I can't find any option in the settings or about:config that would change it. Is there any way to do this?

when i click on a firefox tab it opens in a new window - how do I stop this?

Already tried going about:config and changing 'browser.tabs.allowTabDetach`, and set its value to `false` and it is not working. Advise.

Greetings, After updating to 113.0 the height of my tabs has doubled, with the text size remaining the same. When visiting certain sites, such as Facebook, a horizontal black line appears when the tab is selected, dividing the tab and the text within in half. I have spent a few hours Googling and I haven't found any solutions to fix this. I've tried several different settings in about:config, I've enabled compact mode, just about everything I could find short of modifying code which I would rather not do. It's useful space for me and I'm hoping for a fix. Thanks for Your Time, Thomas

Tabs to not reliably reopen after closing Firefox. The latest occurrence, but not the only one, was after updating macOS 13 on a Mac Mini M1 using current version of FireFox.

I have read multiple help pages and double and triple checked settings. My work around has been to Bookmark All Open Tabs each time I close FireFox or shutdown the Mac - doable but a nuisance.

Suggestions appreciated

Help! My Dell Windows 11 laptop got stuck in a bit locker/advanced repair loop, and I had to reset my laptop. Told the laptop to keep my files. However, I’ve lost my tabs I had open, and no history. Tried to find previous Firefox profiles, with no luck. Any other advice? Or is it all lost

Hi, I disabled several options in About:Config, and a feature previously disappeared. When I pressed the scroll button in the diamond, it opened a tag and moved to it automatically. Whatever you do with the current tag, I want it. Please help me. ( I mean, it no longer applies to bookmarks, I want it to apply to bookmarks )

I have honestly no idea why you guys don't have an option to be able to put the tabs bellow the address bar like in the old versions of firefox. I used the userchrome.css for a long time to place the tabs back on the bottom of the address bar and at the minimum once a year you guys break the program. Is it so hard to program a switch or something to place the tabs on the bottom?

Hi, I disabled several options in about:config, and a feature previously disappeared. When I pressed the scroll button in the diamond, it opened a tag and automatically navigated to it. Also, when there was a previously open page, and I open any bookmark (tags), the selected page opens in a new window, I want it. Please help me.
