Firefox Community Forum

I've been having problems with my PC, so I decided to reset Windows to see if it would help. I was able to restore my old bookmarks but I can't for some reason find a way to restore my old tabs. Any help would be appreciated!

Sorry but I really don't like these hover 'tooltips-boxes' that appear on the tabs if I hover them - and I'm trying to turn them off!

I have set all three of these to FALSE but they are still there after reboot.

browser.tabs.cardPreview => FALSE browser.tabs.cardPreview.enabled => FALSE browser.tabs.cardPreview.showThumbnails => FALSE

1. Close Firefox (FF) with some tabs open 2. While FF is closed the websites are updated 3. Open Firefox, tabs reopen 4. Go to tabs

Expected: Tabs should the latest version of the website (ie the page has been refreshed)

Actual: Tabs are showing the old, previous (cached) versions of the website and not refreshing to show the latest

User has to manuall refresh each tab to see the latest version of the page

Are other people seeing this issue?

Mozilla tab keeps crashing (especially at YouTube) I was wondering if someone can help me find out why!

like tell me how to show the log or something to identify what is doing the crash.

Thank you in advance!

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?

This is a problem I used to experience a while ago, and then I wasn't experiencing it at all for a long time; however, it's just cropped up again.

I'll be browsing like usual, then I click a link, and that page won't load, just endlessly "waiting". Then I open some new tabs and try visiting other websites, but they also get stuck in the "forever loading" state.

It's not an internet problem because other programs on my computer are still connecting just fine, including to the same sites I'm trying to visit on Firefox.

An interesting wrinkle: other sites that I already had open tabs in when the problem starts will continue to be able to connect to other pages in that site and otherwise receive new data from that site, whether in the same tab or in a new tab. Specifically YouTube and Discord. I can continue receiving new Discord messages and watching new YouTube videos, while other sites fail to load. That is, unless I close all open tabs of those sites and then try to visit them; then they also stop working like everything else.

I'm not sure what the cause could be. In the instance that happened today, the link that initiated it was literally to the homepage of the same site I was already on. And nothing seems to resolve the problem except for exiting Firefox entirely and relaunching it.

Hello so my computer crashed from a power outage and firefox decided to open random tabs i haven't had opened I ages but didn't bother to open the tabs i had previously had opened. I want these tabs back

I use two Firefox windows: one that has the web interface of my music player only, and another window for other internet browsing.

However, sometimes when I open a link from outside Firefox it opens in the window of the music player rather than in my "browsing" window. Moreover, when I switch to Firefox (using Cmd+tab on MacOS), the music window is selected rather than my "browsing" window, even if the last selected window was my browsing one.

Is there a way to make a window exclusive for a tab so that no other tabs are open in that particular window (and perhaps the tab bar is hidden)? Or is there to designate one of the windows as the "main" window?

Hi,

Is this new feature? Once I click on link with middle mouse button, that tab is opened and switched to it. Previous firefox versions only opened tab and thats it. It is very frustrating. I want open multiple tabs and then view those tabs. Now I have to, suppose I have 5 links listed in webpage:

I middle mouse 1st link Then I have to return to my previous page I middle mouse 2nd link Then I have to return to my previous page I middle mouse 3rd link Then I have to return to my previous page I middle mouse 4th link Then I have to return to my previous page I middle mouse 5th link Then I have to return to my previous page

If it is new DEFAULT, then please make ant option to switch back in about:config, thanks!

Is there a feature or add-on that will allow me to see all of my tabs, about 60, in a double menu instead of crammed, forcing me to use the horizontal arrows to scroll? I'd prefer to see them all at once and have them accessed immediately.

An unwanted bookmarks toolbar appears above the URL field, as shown in the image.

After all the bookmark shortcuts it contains are closed, and FF is restarted, the marks reappear.

How can they be purged permanently?

I recently graduated from Seton Hall University earlier this year, and released the laptop they gave me from their system to where I am the sole owner of it. I just converted to Firefox & Thunderbird, but for some reason Firefox automatically opens the Seton Hall website when I open Firefox. Microsoft Edge never did this, but I really don't to switch back to Edge. Does anyone know how I can stop Firefox from automatically opening the home page for my former school?

Pinned tabs disappear from main browser window AFTER using "New private window" browser to test a different site issue. This has happened a few times for me. It is very cumbersome and should not be necessary to do a problem search and see all the steps needed to follow using the sessionstore.jsonlz4 process. Why can't Firefox have simple "restore PINNED tabs" history? I am going to plan on saving each link for each pinned tab in a document of my own simply because it is EXTREMELY annoying and TIME CONSUMING to try to get each of them back. Why does the "New Private Window" use cause this issue in the main browser window?

I have a pinned tab (from Distill Monitoring addon) that always has to be pinned. And thats ok. But the problem is that every few minutes, new duplicate pinned tabs emerge so that around 5 or 8 of them emerge. I only want one pinned tab open, not several duplicate pinned tabs. How do I fix this with CSS or other means?

When I opened Firefox on my desktop this morning, there were tabs open that I did not open. The websites in those tabs were not ones that I had gone to on this computer either. The websites are ones that I visited on my Android phone. I synched the devices yesterday, I think - the process was confusing.

Hi Was told to ask new question off of this tread. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1314940#question-reply

I have similar issue. Have file that has all the tab history, but can't get Firefox to recognize or use it. The scrounger pulls up everything so the file is good it seems.

Why can't, or how do we get Firefox to use it?

Thank you

Hi,

I have the following problem: Windows 7 crashed after coming back from standby. When I restarted Firefox it restored a 3-month-old session. The sessionstore.jsonlz4 file was missing in the profile folder. I searched for a backup in the sessionstore-backups folder; unfortunately all were too old. Windows Restore was not running on my computer.

Using EaseUS Data Recovery I found a recovery.baklz4 file from 10 days ago, tried renaming it etc. but Firefox won't use it for recovering. It is probably corrupt ...

I used https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html but I get an error saying: Session history file contents could not be read?

Is there any way to repair the file or extract the URLs to use them manually?

Or any other solution is very welcome! Thank you very much!
