Firefox latest update - How to switch off automatic closing of duplicate tabs

The latest firefox update makes it so that when you have duplicate tabs open, if you close one, it closes them ALL. I had an issue where YouTube decided instead of opening a video in the same tab, it opened in a new tab, a setting I immediately fixed when I realized it had happened.

Unfortunately, I only wanted THE DUPLICATE TABS to close, not ALL of the tabs linking to that video. I wanted A SINGLE TAB REMAINING of that tab, but there appears to be no setting anywhere in Firefox to change that. Can anyone help???

To be clear: When I have multiple of the same tab, I only want to close the other duplicates, not all of them, so I can still go about my business on that one tab.

Ex: I open a YouTube video by accident in multiple tabs, I wish to watch this video without having to search YouTube for it again. I want to close the duplicates of that video tab, but not the original one.

The folks at the bank have one response, Use Chrome.

It does work using the same credentials but it's not what I want to use ANY ideas are appreciated I've tried allowing all sorts of permissions but even 'clear history' options were changed with this windows update.

I want to figure out how to log into to my bank without triggering 2FA every single time.

At the moment, if I log in and tick the "stay logged in" box, complete the 2FA, tick the "remember this device" box, I still have to log in two hours later, and go through the whole rigamarole again.

I assume this is some cookie setting of my own doing, but I don't know what I did.

I have Firefox using the "Standard' setting to balance protection and performance at <about:preferences#privacy>

Here's what I've tried:

  • I added the URL to "exceptions for enhanced tracking protection"
  • I added a specific exception to "cookies and site data" to specify that the site can "Always" allow cookies.

Just now, I removed all of my existing cookies for the site, in case I set some cookie previously that is telling it to never track anything. But if that doesn't work, is there anything I can do to ensure that the bank will actually remember that I did successfully complete 2FA in this browser already today?

I just started getting bombarded with popup messages that say they are via walmart05.higherincomejobs.com. At the top of the message, it says Mozilla Firefox. As soon as I dismiss to x out of one another pops up. I can't figure out how to block or disable them. These are not text messages or emails, they seem to be popups on my ThinkPad laptop.

Problem formatting a webpage for printing to PDF

We have been maintaining a set of tools for Science Olympiad Code Busters (https://toebes.com/codebusters/) that generate and print tests.

When we print the tests using other browsers (Chrome, Edge) we are able to get consistent formatting and output such that the page fits on the sheet of paper and text is rendered cleanly. However, in the past year or so we have received complaints from Firefox users that it doesn't format and print well.

I was able to confirm that it indeed produces less than ideal output with Firefox and spent several hours to reduce the problem to a single self contained file that I have run through the W3c validator to ensure that there is no un-toward HTML.

I've been able to reduce it down to a small example that has everything contained in a single file: https://toebes.com/codebusters/Samples/firefox_toebes_printing_example.html

If you load the file in Firefox and then print, you will notice several issues: 1) The names of participants table ends up wider than the page. 2) The Score table on the first page is off the right hand edge of the page. 3) The header for the second page (Page 1) is on a page by itself 4) The footer for the second page (Page 1) is near the top of the third page 5) The text for the timed question appears too high on the page 6) The text for the timed question is in a slightly larger font such that it wraps early. 7) Similar problems are on the last page, with the header appearing nominally in the correct place 8) The footer for the last page is on a page by itself.

Note that I have experimented with multiple options for the print scale and margins, for purposes of comparison I set the margins to .5" all around and forced the scale to 100% in all three browsers.

Is there some other option or tweaking that I am missing to get this to work properly on Firefox?

I am having issues signing in to the playstation store using firefox. It works on edge (although I have the same issue in ungoogled chromium). I have tried refreshing but that didn't work. I uninstalled it and deleted all mozilla folders in appdata, then tried again without signing in to my mozilla account on a fresh install but i'm still having the issue. It might be a windows configuration issue because I don't see why this would work on edge but not on firefox. I've tried disabling all cookie and tracking protection features but I still have the same issue.

What's happened to the + sign to add a new tab? I've customized Firefox to have tabs below the address bar (as they should be) but have just noticed that, once the window is full of tabs, the + to add another tab has disappeared. Is this because of my customization or has Firefox removed this function?

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.foxnews.com.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)
