Hi, today I suddenly noticed that all except my most recent tabs were gone. In "recently closed tabs" I only see tabs that I did actually close, not the 100+ that I didn't. There is a small chance this happened yesterday when I turned off my phone (I only noticed just now), but I haven't updated/ changed/ done anything out of the ordinary lately. I hoped I would find them through sync, but that wasn't working so stupidly enough I synced to fix that, which means sync now only says 0 tabs. Using Android 13 + Firefox 123.0(.1? There's a lot of different numbers on that page) Help?

tabs visible in grid on ipad ios, but when click, no url shows and webpage won’t open

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!

Google search results and new tabs

Using my mobile device (Samsung s23 ultra) as of just a few days ago every time I click a Google search result instead of opening a new tab in Firefox it instead opens a temporary tab that I have to click and tell to "open in Firefox". It only does it with one of my Google accounts. Meaning that if I switch Google accounts and do a search and click a result Firefox opens a new tab. Which is my preference. I switch back to the other Google account and it goes back to a temp tab. I've uninstalled Firefox and it didn't change. I at first thought it was a Google thing but when I use other browsers like the default Samsung browser it doesn't do it. Attached is an image of the "temp tab" as I call it. Anyone know where option to have search results open as a tab?

i really need to PERMANENTLY DISABLE the infernal, default auto-refresh session on return to already opened tab. tyranny of the default on Android.

if/when i want to refresh that session, i'll do so MANUALLY.

i want this, not only in alpha, but beta & standard, too. so, it just can't be buried in about:config, which is nanny-state removed from standard. it must be exposed in UI Settings.

i'm not the first or only to request this.

Hi, reacently private tabs started to be deleted whenever I close firefox, is this intentional? it used to be that when one closed ff and reopened it it would take them to home page in non private mode, but the private tabs would remain accesable. If thats a new feature I ask you kindly to make a toggle for ios to make it costumizable: close open private tabs when ff is closed: y/n

Wasn’t sure if anyone has a quicker way to do this: unfortunately I probably have a good 60-something tabs open on safari. I want to switch them over to Firefox but I haven’t seen any way to send over open tabs without having to copy and paste every link over. Not very many are bookmarked, not sure if that’s a factor.
