I-Firefox Community Forum

this is a request. i have maybe 100 tabs open at any one time to support my research projects. i've recently used the group tab function--thank you Mozilla--but now i find a need to go to a group directly. firefox view does not currently support a "sort by group" function. it has sort by recent activity and sort by order, and a general search function. but it would be great if it could also sort by group in firefox view, too. can do? thank you, C Baron

OK, I am a heavy user of tab groups in Firefox (glad to get off Chrome once this was available). Unfortunately, Bookmark All Tabs only saves the open tabs in my Firefox window. It Does Not save anything inside a tab group that isn't opened - AND it doesn't save any of the tab group structure - ex. the group, what is inside it, etc.

IS there some way to properly save all the tab information (groups and tabs inside those groups) in Firefox? There is in Chrome by the way. IF there isn't, has someone out there produced an extension to do this??

Seems like a big oversight in the intro of tab groups if there is really no way to do this...

I do the Bookmark All Tabs for backup and have needed it many times in my Chrome past usage.

Thanks in advance

When switching tabs using the MRU menu (Ctrl+Tab), it only shows 7 of the most recent tabs. However, oftentimes I need to jump back further down in the history. This history *is* kept in the Firefox View tab. Is there any way I can extend the number of recent tabs shown in the Ctrl+Tab menu?

Or at least in the "List All Tabs"? It currently is set to show the tabs in natural order and not MRU.

In Firefox, pinned tabs are limited to the specific browser window in which they are created. This behavior differs from Safari, where pinned tabs persist across all open windows. When a Firefox window containing pinned tabs is closed, those tabs are permanently removed. This implementation undermines the intended purpose of pinned tabs, which is to provide persistent, easily access to sites regardless of session or window state. Pinned tabs should ideally remain consistent across all browser windows and persist until explicitly unpinned by the user. The current behavior results in a poor user experience and discourages users who expect cross-window and session persistence, functionality that aligns more closely with the concept of “pinning.” I have raised his limitation repeatedly, but it remains unaddressed. A more consistent, user-centric approach would ensure pinned tabs are retained globally until manually dismissed.

When I click on my Firefox web browser, I can open one window and one window only. The + sign allowing me to open and keep open multiple windows at the same time is gone. For instance, when I open my email, that works fine, but if an email contains a link to a news story I want to read and I click on it, the browser takes me there, but it closes my email window and I can't get back to it, unless I close Firefox and start over.

I really do like the new vertical tabs and I have them set to be just icons until you hover the mouse over them and then they fly out and I can read the names of the tabs. My problem is that when I switch a tab or do anything that makes the tabs expand to see their full names if I take the cursor off they fly back in but if I put the cursor on any area of how far the tabs came out to in the next few seconds they come out again even though I haven't put my cursor over the tab icon. This is really annoying for forums and really for general browsing as if I switch to a tab and want to interact with anything where the tabs came out to I have to wait like 5-10 seconds before I can click anything on that part of the page or else the tabs come flying out again. Is there any way to make it so the second my cursor isn't over the tab fly out that they will go back to the compact mode and won't come back out unless I hover over the tab icon again to alleviate this problem? I find I will often switch to a tab and then move my cursor off to the page and the names collapse so there are only icons left but I try to interact with something on the left side of the page and the tabs fly out way before my cursor goes near the tab icon and I have to take my cursor to the right then try going back to interact with that element and most of the time I have to go back and forth a few times before the tabs stop flying out so I can interact with that portion of the left side of the web page. I really like the vertical tabs but I want to be able to edit the time it takes for them to not fly back out if your cursor goes to where they had flown out to immediately, so zero seconds, instead of the 3-10 seconds or whatever it is set at by default.

Thanks!

Recently, whenever i have to quit firefox, my tabs have all disappeared upon opening. I have tried all the suggestions in the Mozilla help and nothing seems to work. This used to happen from time to time which was frustrating but now it happens every time I need to quit firefox. "Recently closed tabs" and "recently closed windows" are greyed out when I try to use that. and there is nothing in "restore previous history". Thank you for your help.

Hi,

I generally have 20~30 tabs open in Firefox. So as of now, if I scroll on the tab bar, 6~7 tabs will move left/right per scroll. I want to modify this number of tab scroll to one per mouse wheel scroll.

I searched for this tweak but did not get any workable solution.

I'm using Firefox 144.0.2 (64-bit) on windows 10.

If you have any tweak, pls share.

Thanks ..

Hi!

I am having a problem with Firefox where: - if I am searching in the address bar in one tab (tab A), - but then before that finishes loading, I switch to a different tab (tab B), - Firefox will switch me back to tab A once tab A finishes loading. It's not immediate and is a little aggravating as it pushes me out of what I was already doing.

I'm currently on Firefox Beta (145.0) on Windows 11. I've tried the "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" setting.
