Dear Mozilla Support,

I quit Google Chrome a few days ago for yours Firefox, but I need some help with configuration. Everything works great, I'm very happy with the browser, but I got used to the history panel in the Chrome browser and I would like the current one in Firefox to work similarly. First of all, cards opened from history in Firefox automatically open immediately after clicking. They jump to the very top and again I have to scroll down to open the others. How can I change this to load tabs in background? Of course, I want to keep sorting according to the last visit, because the other sorting modes don't suit me because they are grouping pages in a strange way. Secondly, how to open the history panel in a full window, not as a side panel? That's everything I need to be happy ;p Have a nice day!

Best Regards, Hierro.

Hi Hierro

That is how the history works in Firefox. Firefox only shows the most recent visit and if you click a link then you open the page in the current tab with a left-click or in a new tab with a middle-click and that creates a new history entry at the top. If the purpose is to select a specific entry then click at the far left.

If you want to visit a link without creating a new history entry then the only way I know is to open a New Private Window and open the history sidebar. In PB mode you can access the current history, but you can't create new history, so you will stay at the current position in the history listing. If you need to create new history instead of browsing past history then switch to a normal window.
