I use the "Larger text" Display Zoom option on my iPhone. Until recently, the tab view in my Firefox app would show my open tabs arranged in two columns. But yesterday, it suddenly began showing my open tabs arranged in a single column, with each tab preview so large that it takes up half of my iPhone screen. So I can only preview a couple open tabs at a time, and I have to scroll through my open tabs vertically. This makes the tab view much less useful.

How can I change the tab view to once again arrange my open tabs in two columns instead of one while in iPhone's "Larger Text" Display Zoom mode? If I change it to the "Default" Display Zoom mode, then the tab previews are arranged in two columns as usual.

Hello, After installing the latest FF update (129.0.2), my tabs either stopped loading or taking too long to load. It can happen randomly with no particular sites. Even if the tab eventually loads, refreshing it can cause FF to go into loading mode forever. The example could be Reverb.com site that loads the home page after a delay but then searching for anything would send the tab into "forever spin". I checked it on a different router - same issue. I'm on Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1.

Any hints? TIA. \tim

When using CTRL+SHIFT+T Firefox is restoring my oldest closed tabs instead of the recently closed ones. How do I swap this behavior back to opening the recently closed windows instead of the oldest ones?

When I am in google and click in a link, firefox open a duplicate tab of the page I was and then I can access the page link I clicked. If I return to the original tab, this open again a new tab, a third tab. I cleared the cache, cleared the cookies, uninstall firefox and reinstall again but nothing resolved.

After updating to Floorp 11.17.3 (based on Firefox ESR 128), all my pinned tabs now scroll with normal tabs. So, if I have enough tabs open that I need to scroll to see them all, my pinned tabs scroll to the left and go out of sight. Before update they were always in place, and only unpinned tabs were scrolling. Is there a way to make them stationary again?

Hi. Yesterday something weird and unexpected happened to my Firefox and amongst other things it lost all my open tabs, of which there was about 70 or so. Another strange thing which happened is a website I use turned into Japanese language all on its own and in the end I was forced to delete cookies for that website to revert it to English, even though it was never changed in the first place. My homepage shortcut tiles were also all rearranged and some deleted. I have no idea what caused all this, but the biggest issue for me is that I lost all my open tabs. I refreshed Firefox to try to cleanse whatever it was that caused this, but even before this I lost my tabs.

My question here is; I am sure that the history of those open tabs is still listed somewhere on a file and I can get back my previous session which had all the tabs on it, but I have no idea where it is or where to look. How do I do this and where do I find the older file with the open tabs.

Thanks.

Why is there not an option to turn this off. It is way too easy to close tab when scrolling up or down to find a tab. This is a dumb feature that needs to be toggled off.

I've asked this question before. Have not received an answer. I searched the forum and have not found a solution. When I shut down my computer every night and restart it in the morning, Firefox does NOT restore my session. "Restore previous session" is not available. One individual mentioned "virtual desktop". I don't know what that is, don't have one that I know, and don't really need one. SO, can someone please help me so that my session, open tabs, are restored upon Firefox startup? I would greatly appreciate it.

A few years ago jscher2000 gave me wonderful instructions for how to create some of the features that were once easy for ordinary users like myself to control through an Extension called TabMixPlus. Apparently there was some big disagreement between the developer and Firefox and they completely disabled it. At any rate, I'm continually frustrated when I accidentally move a pinned tab to a new window while trying to move or resize Firefox. I would like to know how, in about:config, I can create a setting with which I can protect pinned tabs. Thanks.

I know this might not be a question you want to answer. But i want to switch to chrome. But i have a lot of tabs open. is there any way to transfer the tabs from firefox to chrome. i have thought of bookmarking all the windows but that would take hours.

Main reason i want to switch is youtube, as soon i fast forward or do anything on youtube with firefox it lags but not on chrome. or is there a way to make youtube faster on firefox because i prefer fire fox

When tabs are inactive for a long time, they are unloaded from memory and their icons disappear. This is inconvenient because you need to manually load each tab to visually see which one is which, so that the icon is loaded. When I close and open the browser, the icons that are present do not disappear, it seems to happen after a while, as if some kind of cache is deleted in the browser. In such suspended tabs, there is also no place for the icon physically, and when I open the tab, the name physically shifts to the right and the icon appears.

Suspended tabs without icons on screenshot 1 are highlighted in red. The 2nd screenshot shows a list of all my extensions. I use Simple Tab Groups to hide tabs, so I have a lot of them and some kind of memory offloading is necessary, but the lack of icons prevents me from using the sessions I created earlier. And Simple Tab Groups most likely does not affect the absence of icons, because when I unload tabs from memory through this extension, the icons remain.

I would be grateful for advice on how to fix the situation.

As the title says, after the last update I’m getting a blank screen when I delete the current tab, normally I would get the Home Page with all my favourites and things

I frequently have the problem of accidentally detaching tabs when I am trying to drag them left and right to reorder them. The interface seems more sensitive than I would like. The unwanted detaching of tabs happens to me many times a day and is jarring and causes me to lose a lot of time trying to put the tabs back. I would like the interface to be less sensitive, i.e. to make me drag it much farther up or down in order to detach the tab. If the feature to fine-tune the sensitivity of the tab-break-off is not implemented, I want the ability to turn it off, so that I can reorder tabs by dragging them left and right without having to worry about them detaching.

I searched and found an 8-year-old request from another user for the same thing, and it had been closed, and linking the user to third-party extensions adding this functionality. However, the extensions were not monitored by Mozilla for security.

This was a non-solution to me. I want this solution either to be built-into the browser, or to be offered in an extension that is monitored for security by the official team.

I have a lot of open firefox tabs on my ipad (some are in ‘inactive’ mode, but many are open. The tabs look blank in regular view. But when I click the three lines, I can see miniatures of the pages in grid form (and a very partial url above, but not enough to copy), so I can tell they must still be there in firefox’s memory, but when I click on any of the pages, a blank page with no url opens. Where are my tabs? Why can’t I get them back? I’m set to sync, but only tabs from iphone sync to ipad; the ones from ipad aren’t syncing to iphone. I’d be very grateful if someone knew what was happening and could help me resolve this. Thank you!

Hi, so I've "Show an image preview when you hover on a tab" setting under Tabs section "Off". Preview is not showing but instead there is am empty box like on attached image. I couldn't find any other option to turn that off also.

I'm using latest firefox nightly release.

After i closed firefox with two windows it only restored the wrong tab and because most of the tabs were open some time ago i cant restore it from history too. Can i somehow restore them?
