Sometimes, for seemingly no reason, Firefox will force two tabs to combine. I do not want this. Ever. And I am sick and tired of it constantly appearing. It is extremely distracting and I want to disable it but can't find a way to turn it off. How do I turn it off?

I love vertical the tab view. Unfortunately, on one of my systems, vertical tabs to not render correctly. Groups are shown, but there are no favicons or titles shown (see attached image). The tabs are also not clickable. Any insight into how I could debug that would be amazing!

OK - this keep happening on my firefox browser on my macbook laptop. I have a default firefox browser open with my 13 default tabs. Now when I have some app, like today specifically, the app for my voice caddy golf app. I open the app, do the update, and if I select any link that opens the voice caddy website, it opens it in a new firefox browser and tab, NOT a tab in my existing firefox with my 13 default tabs. So my default firefox gets trashed. In my firefox settings, I told firefox to open any new tabs in tabs, NOT pages. I also have open the last tabs open where I left off when I close firefox. What a pain. Tried several things to no avail. Why doesn't firefox have a setting (or the current setting do as I told it - open new websites in a new TAB, NOT a new browser.

I had multiple tab groups which I had chosen to save and close. These tab groups have now completely disappeared and I cannot find them. When I began using Tab Groups, I had checked and there was no information stating that unopened tab groups would be deleted. I want these groups back. If I had known Tab Groups would disappear, I would have saved my tabs into a folder. The only Tab Groups that show up now are under "Recent tab groups". If tab groups are going to be deleted after a set period of time, it should be stated clearly in the tab group settings. It would also be really useful to archive them into a bookmarked folder so people don't unexpectedly lose hours of research.

I want to see all my open tabs all of the time... firefox keeps showing full screen, I don't want that... how do I reset settings using windows 11, logi keyboard HELP!

I am stuck in full screen. I can get back to the tab menu by moving my mouse but I have arthritis in my hands and every extra movement makes it harder for me to use my computer, in addition to the flipping back and forth being incredibly annoying. I am going to have to use a different browser if I can't find a way to stop this. There must be an easy fix but I can't find anything in settings that helps.

Hello all,

I can see that I can access hidden tabs from firefox menu > History > Hidden Tabs. I have non hidden tabs in my permanent session that is saved/reload whenever I close/open Firefox.

I searched in the support section of Mozilla and found that I can use extensions to hide tabs and find these hidden tabs through History > Hidden Tabs to access or simply unhide any of those tabs.

My question is what would be the benefit of hiding any tab? For privacy? If so, is hiding tabs really efficient to protect tabs content and/or browsing history?

I could see that some extensions offer to protect hidden tabs with a password and even automatically unload tabs upon hiding them.

Thanks in advance to shed some light on this hiding feature.

Ik wil graag verschillende mailadressen van outlook willen openen: https://outlook.cloud.microsoft/mail/ Ik gebruik daarvoor containers maar het werkt niet. Als ik een een bookmark open in een specifieke container wordt de laatste geopende mailaccount getoond. Als ik denk het met Pin allemaal te hebben ingesteld en ik sluit de PC af dan is het bij opnieuw opstarten allemaal weg.

I have lots (~100) of tabs open, distributed among windows and virtual desktops. Every now and then the laptop fan starts running wildly, and I identify a CPU hogging webpage in about:processes. How can I now switch to the open window/tab of that webpage to close or unload it? I would expect a click (or context menu item) within about:processes to bring me there. Currently I have to scan through all desktops/windows/tabs to find the page.

Hi,

Now when I do a Command N, a new browser window is opened, but I always get the same dozen or so tabs that open. This did not use to happen and I do not recall changing any settings.

I can close all those tabs, close the window, and when I open a new window again, that tabs are all back.

Thanks so much, Charlie

PS Yes. It's driving me crazy.  :-)

I open firefox. Homepage is there. I open a new page. A new screen appears which completely obliterates the former screen. As if I had just opened the internet. With the next page I go to, it is the same. Previous screens masked. And so on, and so on. Instead of separate tabs appearing at the top of the initial page

With vertical tabs and expand on hover, clicking on the X box rarely closes the tab. Sometimes I have success if the pointer is on the left or right line of the box. Not having luck on the center of the box. Has been true for several weeks. With hover off, clicking the X works fine. I am running Windows 11.

Hi Everyone! I am having some trouble figuring out how to get rid of these "phantom" windows. They appear after I do a sign-in to my Google or Facebook account and it opens in a new window. The windows stay open in the background, or at least my Macbook shows them as windows as if they are still open. Whenever I click on them they just go to my most recently opened tab on Firefox and never actually allow me to click on them or see the tab. I've tried looking for them in the "open tabs" section on Firefox, and it doesn't show them there either. I added a photo to show that the "phantom" window is separate from my currently open browser on Firefox.

If anyone knows how to get rid of these, I would so appreciate your help! Thanks!!!

On Firefox I have repeatedly pinned four tabs for websites that I use frequently. The pinned tabs disappear at unpredictable times, not necessarily when I re-open Firefox.

I've noticed for awhile that when exiting Firefox (currently 150.0.3) open tabs no longer close. When I re-enter Firefox (new start) I no longer get my home page. I've tried all key combination of exiting as well as the X. I searched this community and WWWeb and found nothing usefull.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Rodney

I discovered tab grouping and find it moderately useful. There was an update, now I cannot group and tabs. They simply will not. Spent a few hours with ChatGPT trying a range of things. Al settings are right for tag grouping, but it simply does not happen.
