When I open a new firefox window, and click the + to open a new tab, my first page disappears - I can only seem to return to it by closing all the other tabs.

The issue occurs like this:

1. Open a new window 2. Enter a URL and go to a page (any page). 3. Click the + and open a new tab. 4. The first tab is no longer visible in the tabs bar. 5. I keep opening lots of other tabs and the first tab stays invisible (all the others stay visible / accessible). 6. The only way I've found to return to the first tab is to close all my other tabs.

This doesn't always happen (i.e. I can have two firefox windows open and only one of them does it!)

I'm not sure if it's a feature or something? But it's very annoying!

Any ideas welcomed.

Thanks

Can you go to that tab if you click the "List all tabs" arrow at the far right side of the tab bar?

Hi - yes I can! I hadn't noticed that little arrow before, thanks.

However I would really like to stop it hiding the first tab all the time.... Even when I navigate to the first tab using that "list all tabs" arrow, it still remains 'hidden' (i.e. I can't see a tab up the top, even when that tab is active. And when I navigate away from it to another tab, it is invisible again).

Any ideas?

Thanks

I've seen such an issue myself too. It works if I close that tab with Ctrl+W and then immediately restore the tab with Shift+Ctrl+T. If this happens then new tabs open to the right of the New Tab button on the tab bar(!) instead of at the left of that button.

Thanks, the Ctrl+W, followed by Shift+Ctrl+T seems to work and get it to stop disappearing. It's very strange though... and the strangest thing is it doesn't always happen! (I can have two windows open on the same computer... and only one is behaving strangely!)

Thanks for your help.

You're welcome.

I don't know if there are bug reports about this issue and I don't know what search phrase to use to locate one among all bugs about tabs.
