I-Firefox Community Forum

With the pervasive cookie tracking nowadays, I would like to consent to all cookie requests that continually pop up asking for more information but now I must adjust accordingly and use Private Tabs more info so I need a feature that can let me use Private and Normal tabs in the same window, at Firefox.

I have many accounts per platform, so I have MANY pinned (permanent) tabs. Unfortunately, these pinned tabs take up all of the available space to display the unpinned (temporary) tabs. I have been searching for a way to isolate the Pinned tabs under their own dropdown menu, or some other method. I believe the new sidebar and vertical tabs could be the solution (especially once you add the "Expand on hover" option. Please provide an option to have Pinned tabs appear in the vertical tab orientation in the Sidebar, but leave the Unpinned tabs in the standard horizontal layout.

I need to stop Firefox from reordering my tabs. Apparently it puts the last used one at the rightmost place. I DO NOT WANT OR NEED THIS.

How can I stop this behavior?

thanks

Please give the option to have vertical tabs and sidebar functionality split into two seperate things. Much like with Edge and Vivaldi, we should be able to have vertical tabs on the left of the browser, with the sidebar on the right.

We should also be able to open any website in mobile view with the sidebar, again replicating the functionality of Edge and Vivaldi

Why are my tabs moving to the right once I've clicked on it? I have a decent amount of tabs open at any time. I keep tabs with related sites grouped together. The past week or so, when I open a tab, Firefox moves it to the right and completely screws up my organization. Is there a way to delete this function? It is new and has only just started to happen.

Is there a way to move a tab at a Second window, back to a previous window? Basically, can I freely decide which tab goes onto which window, when I have multiple open as a way of organizing my immediate search history and browsing?

I have "Open tabs in links instead of new windows" checked.

I have no plug-ins that would cause this.

I have experimented with the various, conflicting "about:config" directions given online. (Nothing works, so I have reset about:config to default.)

• It is also worth noting the Firefox Support page is immune to its own Dark mode. WHY.

I am going to switch to Opera, since it has none of these problems.

Before commenting or responding on this post, make sure you actually READ IT first. I am so tired of these online MANSPLAINERS being all, "Go to about:config and do blah-blah-blah," or, "This is what you do: Go to Settings > General > Tabs > make sure you check the box that says "Open tabs in links instead of new windows."

Seriously, way too many people online are like customer support agents on the phone: "Try unplugging it and wait 15 seconds, then plug it back in; try closing it and restarting it."

If anyone has any real solution, I'd greatly appreciate it.

bold text I keep trying to use the tab groups feature. I would like to know when the feature will be rolled out for users in my situation rather than making period attempts that do not work. Thank you

My Firefox browser window has multiple tabs. I would like to be able to close them individually. The tabs do not have the 'x' symbol on them to be able to close them conventionally. I tried to right-click on the individual tabs, but the drop down menu does not have the option available to close the tab either. I tried rebooting the computer but when I open Firefox again, the same tabs are still there rather than opening up a fresh browser window with only the start tab window. I am using Windows 11 with this computer also. Help!!!

I usually keep between 15-20-30 tabs open at a time and like to keep about 5-7 at the far left. Just lately Firefox has started automatically on its own shifting my tabs that were far left all the way to the end on the far right. It is always just one at a time and then sometime later another and another.

How do I fix this?

I currently have Firefox to open at startup showing three different websites. When I open a new window, the same three sites are open. I would prefer all new windows to open with one new tab only. I don't much care whether that new tab displays some sort of blank page or home page or a website I have chosen or whatever.

I can't find a setting or an extension which allows this. Can anyone help?

Hello, Win11 Pro 24H2 Firefox 136.0.2 (64-bit)

When I alt tab over to my firefox windows and then press ctrl t to open a new tab it does not work most of the time. I have to sit and hit the keys 10-20 times before it will allow me to open a new tab. Do you have any idea why this is happening? I have tried safe mode with firefox and the issue persists so it is definitely not any extension that I run.

Can anyone please help me figure out why can't I access my multiple open Firefox tabs on my Widow 11 desktop unless I open a new tab, and then click on the three line Firefox app menu symbol, then select "History" and then go back? I don't even have to choose a function under "History". I just go back to the tabs and they have become available to be selected and activated. This fix is only temporary and may have to be repeated several times in one session. The misbehaving tabs show up in a horizontal row over my toolbar area (sometimes as dark panels after an update) but clicking on them just causes the row of tabs shown, or the vertical list of excessive multiple tabs, to disappear. I tried selecting troubleshoot mode, but did not see any indications of errors. This problem only began after my last Firefox update and does not go away after a Windows reboot.

Don't understand WHY every site I visit, ends up as a Tab. I would like to have ONLY the ones I need! Also, where is the tab that I used to have to allow some sites to post?

When dragging or selecting a tab it forcibly moves it to the end of the tab bar.

As it would if you pressed move tab to the end, But without actually selecting it. Not sure why it's doing this and nothing is selected and it didn't happen before the update. And it only happens every once in a while.

Since the most recent update (137) I have been having an issue where when I switch tabs to an existing open tab, occasionally that tab will be moved to the end (far-right) of the list of tabs. I find this extremely annoying as I often am using tabs to organize what is related to what, and this is undoing my organization.

I can't quite see what the exact trigger is - it's not every time, but it fairly often. It sometimes happens when I try to 'switch to' my current tab, and sometimes it will happen when I'm switching to a different tab.

In recent Firefox versions, the behavior of window.open() has changed. When opening a new window with an empty URL (), Firefox opens a blank tab (about:blank) and then loads the specified content. However, the about:blank tab may not close automatically as it did in earlier versions.
