Windows keep shifting positions by themselves

more options

I have six windows that I use the most. Sometimes I open more windows, but before quitting Firefox, I close windows that are outside of the first six. But if I don’t close the additional windows, the next time I open Firefox, they are all the same position as they were when I closed Firefox.

And that is good.

The problem is, with the taskbar locked, while using Firefox and using Windows the way it’s intended- opening, closing and switching different windows as I need them, the six windows in Firefox switch positions. The windows shift positions so that 6 is 5 and 5 is 6 and 3 is 2 and 1 is 3 and so on. It’s all random.

So why do the windows shift positions?

It is a hassle to have to keep lining them up again and again throughout the day, so that they are always in the right place so that I don’t have to click each taskbar item to find out which window it is. If they remain in the correct order, I have no trouble or wasted time looking for the window I need to use.

The shifting Firefox windows at random is the problem. That is what this inquiry is about.

Here is a temporary fix without having to set them all up from scratch. It takes a few manipulations, but still better than remembering all the tabs in each window then opening each window and tab one at a time in the order I prefer them to be in. I use an addon called Tab Session Manager. This is not an advertisement for the addon. It is necessary to mention it in case others have the same “switching” windows problems. The addon allows you to save each window, then open each of the saved windows in the proper order.

The things I’m trying to get an answer to, are the following questions:

1. Why do the Firefox windows switch positions? 2. And how do I stop it from happening again?

Any help or direction will be appreciated. Thanks.

Do you mean the windows are restored out of order, so when you look at the Taskbar button, they are in a different order? Or do you mean the screen position (where the top left corner of the window is) changes?

The out-of-order problem is an old bug that is still in the process of being discussed and, hopefully, getting fixed. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1235231
