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?

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!

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.
