Why do my tabs keep disappearing?

Hello, After the last MacBook Pro M4 update my tabs keep disappearing. This is quite ANNOYING as I use ALL my tabs. Plus when I go to HISTORY there is NO Restore Previous session...so I am losing EVERYTHING. Do I just need to go out to another browser and make them my default? I can find NO help when I go out to your support for my problem. Thank you, Patty


/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as you have macOS.

Hi Patty, are the tabs missing from the same window you have been using, or has a whole window disappeared?

The History menu has the following items to try to recover closed windows and tabs:

  • Recently Closed Windows (up to three windows)
  • Recently Closed Tabs (current window)

Can you find missing content there?

Another user recently commented that one of their windows wasn't visible on screen, but could be confirmed to exist (maybe using the Dock icon or the Window menu, I can't recall). Do you notice anything like that?

On Mac closing Firefox can be more complicated because you can close all open windows, but keep Firefox running with the menu bar visible or minimized in the Doc.

Make sure to use "Quit Firefox" with all windows still open, especially if you want to use "Restore Previous Session". Otherwise check "History -> Restore Previous Session" and "History -> Recently Closed Tabs/Windows".
