Why are my open tab thumbnails missing?

Samsung Galaxy S3. Until today I could see a "stack" of thumbnails representing my open tabs when I click the "page" icon in the upper right corner of the browser window. This would allow me to easily jump from one tab to another. Now when I click on the "page" icon I see only the thumbnail representing the currently open page. If I scroll up in the thumbnail area I will scroll through the open tabs. Scrolling down closes the selected tab. I can not get Firefox back to its original settings. Please help or I will have to uninstall Firefox and install another browser.

Hmm, my tabs screen looks the same as other recent versions. Could you double check both the non-private and private tabs (the two icons at the upper left of the tabs screen) in case your missing tabs are in the other category?

Why are the css tabs suddenly missing from my FF pages?

One of my sites (www.dminkler.com/art.html) no longer shows css/javascript tabs (domtabs) in FF on Linux or Windows. These tabs appear (as they always have) in Safari, Chrome, and IE. The tabs appear in my Linux Chrome as well.
The links for the tabs appear above the content div, along with some of the css, but the tabs have left the building.
I have cleared all of the caches for all of the browsers noted above, and the other browsers render the tabs just as they should, on my Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 platforms.
I also checked the FF version and "Reset" it. Still no tabs.
Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?

Works here on Linux.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Edit > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Common sites directly above open tabs is missing now, but were there yesterday morning. Why did they disappear?

Common websites I use used to be listed between the address line and the tabs. They were there in the morning, but when I was on Firefox in the afternoon (without restarting computer or closing Firefox) they were not there. They are still missing this morning when I turned on the computer and opened Firefox.

''"most visited", common sites, directly above open tabs is missing
You are not showing your bookmarks toolbar, to correct...
* View (menu) > Toolbars > (check) Bookmarks toolbar
That should correct the missing toolbar, but restart Firefox to make sure it's still there, if not, or if the above did not work, then then fix corrupt localstore.rdf http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
As per the directions in the article take a picture of your toolbars before starting.

Why are my desktop folder icons missing?

why are my desktop folder icons missing?

Yes I have tried a restart, a shut down and restart, a coling off period for 5 minutes anda restart, an examination of view options and I still get nothing, no destop folders icons, just the title of the folder. The folders without icons will open and their contents are displayed, just not the icons. The only icons I see are the hard drives, I have 4 in my old mac pro. So what gives?

Why are the open windows not listed in any kind of order?

It's bad enough there's no menu showing all the open tabs, but why does the dropdown menu for open Windows not be in ANY order whatsoever? It would certainly stop having to look up and down the list every time I want to go to a different window if they were in either alphabetical or chronological order.

The windows listed in the Window menu are in chronological order starting with the oldest window near the top and the newest window at the bottom.
The problem might be that you've opened a new tab in an old window. The windows are still listed in the same order but now they have the name of the newest tab.
In my screenshot I opened this question in a new tab in my oldest window.

Why are all my tabs lost when I close my session?

Recently got a new computer and downloaded Firefox, but it isn't like the version I'm used to - there's no tab groups, and when I close my session I lose all the tabs I had open. I have Windows XP and Mozilla Firefox v 6.0.2 - is that the wrong version? Also, I tried to find a setting to save tabs in the Options menu, but didn't see anything.

Why in HELL didn't Firefox tell us about this ridiculous "new" way to restore previously opened tabs?? Good Lord, give us the info window again, or at least have the option to put a 'button' to click to restore.

My "Open New Tab" (tab with "x") to right of already open tabs is missing..

'''I used to have the "Open New Tab" option (the small tab with an "x" to open new tab page) to the right of my already open tabs. I upgraded Firefox to newest version (12 maybe????....so many updates I can't keep up). This feature is gone as well as my Auto-Fill which were my 2 favorite features!!!'''

Actually this tab deal wasn't a specific setting that I know of. When I first chose to use the multiple tabs at the top of my Firefox page.....there they were. No matter how many pages/tabs I opened there was always a new blank one on the right of the tabs. The newest one is the size of the tabs that are "pinned" rather than full sized. This is much harder to explain in writing....so don't know if I'm being clear at all.
In the Toolbar Layout options there is an icon + that can be dragged to a toolbar, but it stands alone as opposed to being part of the tabs. I can click it to open another tab, but it's a 2 step process. I much preferred the other way.

Since the FF update, why does the open tabs panel retract when a page is selected and is there a way to keep it visible?

Since the recent update on FF android, the tab panel that appeared on the left of the tablet screen now retracts when a tab is selected. This means that I have to scroll back to the toolbar to select the tab icon to switch to a different open tab. I prefer the old option which left all the tabs visible on the side making it easy to swtich between them. Is there any way to turn this off?

As stated before, this just keeps the adress bar from disappearing, the open tabs bar will still disappear :/

Why Are Pages Opening in New Tabs Instead of Within the Pages?

Up until I upgraded to 10.1.10, tabs would almost always open in the same page as the link that contained it. If I wanted it to open in a new tab, or window, I can do that myself, using a menu. Now, it opens many more tabs than I need open, and only clutters up the screen, & adds more RAM usage to the already lumbering browser. Why is this happening, and is there any way to correct this?

No, cause it happens on many sites. I don't see what makes it do that for most, but then once in a while, it will open over the current page, like it almost always did before. I know it does this when I click a link from any Google search results page, which I don't recall it doing before. Up till now (5.1.10), there was always a preference setting where I could select links opening in new tabs, or not. Now, they open wherever they choose to, usually in new tabs, but sometimes not....
Here's my options:
"Open pages in tabs instead of windows:
Some links on webpages open in new Safari windows instead of replacing the current webpage. Choose Never to have such links open in new Safari windows instead of tabs. Choose Always to open new tabs instead of windows.
Choose Automatically to have Safari open pages in tabs unless they’re designed to fit in specially formatted separate windows; Safari opens those pages in windows instead."
So, none of these choices allow for pages to replace current webpages, which makes no sense.

Why are images opened in new tabs expanding past 100%

When opening an image of any type in a new tab, it will scale down as normal, but when clicked to "fullsize," it zooms in past 100%, approximately the equivalent of two adjustments of the scroll wheel in.
Example: I have a 1920 x 1080 display, and if I expand a 1920x1200 image, the width far exceeds the horizontal boundaries (which should be identical, allowing no horizontal scrolling. To better describe this, here's an example: http://i.imgur.com/UfbqFnD.gif
Note the brackets highlighting the extra scrolling space on the bottom image.
I have a high dpi display (1920x1080, 15.6 in screen,) have tried setting Firefox to Disable Display Scaling on High DPI Settings, but to no avail.
Firefox v 31.0
Windows 8.1, 64 bit
Plugins:
* Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0
* Plugin for Wacom tablets.
* NPWLPG
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.0.0
Thank you in advance for any and all help that can be provided.

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident. Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

Why is the panorama tab button missing from my tab bar

Just downloaded Beta 4 and find the panorama button is missing from the tab bar. Your video showing how to manipulate tabs show the button on the right hand side of the tab bar, on my download it is missing why, also some of the other bars shown in your video are missing to, why??

You can add it if you want, right-click on a toolbar and select Customize. You can then drag and drop the "Tab Groups" icon from the customize toolbar dialog onto the toolbars. You can use this method to add other icons to the toolbars.

Why are some of the thumbnails differnt sizes?

Suddenly noticed that the thumbnails in Pages are two different sizes -- there seems to be no consistency about why some are larger and some are smaller. any ideas? And does this impact anything in terms of printing, etc.?

just figured it out. the larger image is always the start of a new section.
this is what it looks like, by the way. thanks

Why are jpegs opening in preview?

I have my file type association set to CS5, yet suddenly jpegs are opening from Bridge into preview. Anyone know why?

For last few years I had them open in preview from finder, but in Photoshop
from Bridge. Was I just lucky and my luck ran out?
Like Nini I also can't imagine why you should use Apple Preview. You can
view them perfectly in Bridge self when making a custom workspace with big
preview panel. And if you want to alter the jpeg files preview would
probably the last option to do so, especially having Photoshop on your
system ????
But likely you had altered your camera raw preferences in setting jpeg and
tiff files to always open in PS instead of the default setting only jpeg
with altered ACR settings.
When you have set preview as default opening app for jpeg using the info
panel in the finder and the camera raw setting to always open in PS you
probably have back what you want, but why using it that way is still unclear
to me

Why are many of my photos missing? External editor badge applied to all of the missing ones to...

I switched over my iPhoto library to Aperture but realized about 20% of the entire library contains thumbs but no image. These missing photos have size (e.g. 1MB) but no resolution (it says 0 x 0 px). Also all of these photos have the dot inside the circle badge indicating that it was editired with an external editor which most or all were not... I rebuilt the library and tried reprocessing masters without success. Most of these are older digital photos that are small in size but have sentimental value to them. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Strange. The photos that don't display in Aperture will still display in iPhoto but when I view the info the file doesn't show resolution information only for those problematic photos
Files sizes are almost all jpeg. Once I reference the file in iPhoto, the master displayed resolution for the photo within finder. The photo's original file also opened in preview and photoshop.
