I’ve seen in other browser where you can make the tabs disappear or close after a week or so. I couldn’t find it in your settings. I like it because I often forget about my tabs and I end up with 100 open tabs. Could you please add this? Thanks. —Caleb

In the past, for my open tabs I was able to move them around, and place a certain tab in a different position, and Firefox would simply Move the tab over , making room for the tab you want to relocate.

Now, When I grab a tab, it does NOT do that. What has changed??

I am trying to use the tabs setting to always open a new window when clicking on a link, especially from search results. It seems no matter which setting I chose in "Tabs and Browsing" they Never open in a new tab, I even tried opening in a new Window but that doesn't work either. What always happens is the new site overwrites the window with its site, and some sites even make it so you cannot go back to the results of your search. As if the site replaced the left Arrow to go back with Nul or something that greys it out. I guess they don't want you to go to a different site to check out something unless you type your search in all over again.

How do I override clicking on a search result link to always go to a new tab so I can easily go back to the search results. Currently I always have to remember to right click on the link as tell it to open in a new Tab. I would expect this from Chrome as they want you to buy from their customers. But FireFox should be better for the consumer/person and not be better for some corporation. Thanks, Bill

Why firefox android does not open multiple tabs at once ( on one click)?

FOR EXAMPLE: I HAVE LIST OF 40 DIFFERENT URLS ( or n number of URLs )WHICH I NEED TO OPEN ALL AT ONCE ( ON ONE CLICK). ( REMEMBER: ONE URL PER TAB) FIREFOX ANDROID DOES NOT ALLOW IT? WHY? TILL WHEN?

I have tested brave,opera and edge but they also failed to open multiple tabs in one click.

ONLY AND ONLY GOOGLE CHROME ( ANDROID) IS SUCCESSFULLY OPENED MULTIPLE TABS IN ONE CLICK.

The tool I used to open multiple urls at once is https://www.openmultipleurl.com/

In the most recent update, when I switch into the tab viewer, several times I have had tabs close as I tried to scroll through the list. It seems that a slight left or right motion intiates a left or right swipe action, and this has had a tab closing functionality added. I do not want to accidentally close tabs while scrolling through them. I do not want a left or right swipe to close tabs. How do I disable this?

This has been an occasional problem for a month or so. When I start Firefox, perhaps one in three times, it opens all the tabs from the previous session. Particularly disconcerting is that it is opening sites with passwords from earlier sessions.

I hoped that the next iteration of Firefox would solve the problem, but it has continued with Firefox 158.0.

I have changed my settings more than once, and then changed them back, without result.

I am running Linux Mint with Cinnamon.

Thank you.

Two days ago I closed FF and went to bed. I opened it the next morning and lost about 20 tabs. Ever since then, every time I restart FF, I lose all tabs except for one default tab.

TLDR: 1. "restore previous session" is not available. 2. Toggling Settings/Home and Startup does nothing. 3. Update? My FF automatically updates. 4. "about:sessionrestore" finds nothing,

1. FF help said I could go into History and click "Restore Previous Session" but that option doesn't exist. All I can do is look at History and see lists for today, yesterday, last 7 days etc.

2. Another advisory suggested Settings, Home and Startup, select "Open previous windows and tabs". but it was already selected. So I switched it off, restarted FF and then switched it back on. I still lose all tabs every time I restart FF.

3. Another advisory suggested, checking for updates. My FF automatically updates.

4. I tried "about:sessionrestore" It returns with the heading: "Sorry. We’re having trouble getting your pages back." Restore session is greyed out and "View previous tabs" produces an empty list. I've tried it a few times now, identical result.

Thanks for any help. Cheers, Andrew
