I have a strange problem and cannot find any reason for it.

On two different machines (with the same Firefox account, same extensions) I'm using tab groups, also in multiple windows (restoring them after launching Firefox).

In one installation I can close all tab groups without any problem.

In the other if it's the last open group, trying to close it (by clicking its header) opens a new, empty tab instead.

I'm pretty sure the settings of both installations differ but I cannot find any setting that would cause this behavior. It's especially annoying because with many open tabs I have to scroll through all to find the group I want to open instead, open it, scroll back to the other group header and close it.

Any pointers on where to start looking?

Hello,

I contact you because I can't have access at the Firefox Labs and it appear in settings that I search it. But when I find it after search, I can't make nothing.

I think it's because I am in another brother based on Mozilla, which is Zen Browser, but weeks ago the Firefox Labs functioned very well...

Then I ask your help.

Thank you.

Gmail is slower than frozen molasses, it is taking 15 to 20 seconds to respond to mouse clicks and typing as well as scrolling, it takes me more than half an hour to do what should take a few minutes, if this is not fixed soon that will be the end of Firefox for me, I will use Opera instead.

Why won't Firefox open any new windows? I give ir the command to open a window and yet all i get are tabs and I never click on open a tab. I have an HP probook this for windows 10 and i am also having the same problem with Chrome. I have uninstalled and reinstalled chrome and that did not fix it so it is not that. What would cause this? I have already cleared the cache cookies history browsing etc. and nothing is fixing it. PLEASE HELP.

The pause feature in the debug menu doesn't always work. Pressing F8 to toggle it does in general work, but I noticed when I enter a context menu on some websites, pressing F8 with the debug menu open doesn't do anything. This is especially annoying for me because when I am making UserStyles (custom user-made CSS) for websites, some elements disappear when trying to find them in inspect element using the "pick an element from the page" feature. I thought pausing could fix it (which in other cases can) but that also wasn't working. If anyone can help me that would be appreciated!

(Also, pressing the pause button directly also makes the element disappear, so that wont work)

Recently I've noticed that my tabs auto refresh if I have'nt been in them for a while. I turned that off ages ago cus I hate it. Now, all of a sudden they refresh again.

accessibility.blockautorefresh services.sync.prefs.sync-seen.accessibility.blockautorefresh

Are both set to true, which I'm pretty sure was supposed to block auto refresh.

I don't know what else to do.

I'm on Firefox version 139.0.1 (64-bit), Windows 11.

Hi everyone!

I’ve been using Firefox for years, but my bookmark bar is turning into chaos 😅 Between work, tools, articles, and personal stuff, it’s getting hard to keep track of everything.

I’ve tried folders and naming tricks, but I feel like I’m either clicking too much or forgetting what I saved.

Curious to hear what methods or extensions others here are using to keep bookmarks clean and accessible? Any tips or workflow ideas would be awesome!

Thanks in advance

Is there a way of changing/removing the independence of browser windows?

Whenever I have multiple windows and close one them I cannot retrieve them, re-opening closed tabs doesn't work, since it only works on their own window.

Is there a way to change this behaviour?


I hope I have explained myself, thanks.

Help! All my bookmarks have disappeared from the Firefox browser. I believe there has been a browser update done by Firefox. I found various ways to recover bookmarks and found a folder named 'old Firefox Data' on my desktop. But all files I try to import give me an error message stating that this file doesn't contain any bookmark data. I tried to import bookmark files and favicons.sqlite files. No luck. I now cannot access bookmarks accumulated for about 10 years. Really need to get them back into this new browser. Any advice highly appreciated.

Firefox 139.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 11

I occasionally increase the zoom level of websites (usually forums) with Ctrl+mouse wheel if the default text size is too small. However, if I forget to set them back to 100% (Ctrl+0) before closing the tab, the next time I open that URL, it's at the former adjusted zoom level -- not 100%. Really annoying.

How do I force Firefox to open all URLs at 100% regardless of the last custom zoom level? I have default zoom already set to 100% in Settings and Zoom Text Only is not enabled.

Thanks.
