i can't see more then 19 tabs. when i add another website/tab i can't see it on the right side of the tab area. i click on the scroll arrow but it won't move over to the new tab that is hidden. if i delete some tabs that i see then the hidden tabs show up. i think it's with this update but i'm not completely sure. i used to be able to have over 50 tabs and i could arrow through them all. how can i fix this? is there a setting to change? thanks Dwight

Hi,

Please check if this happens in Safe Mode.

Problematic Extensions

Troubleshooting Extensions and Themes

Uninstalling Add-ons

Uninstalling Toolbars

Safe mode disables the installed Extensions, and themes (Appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Use hardware acceleration when available. Options > Advanced. All these settings/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme or hardware acceleration is causing issues.

If the problem persists, you can also try to Reset toolbars and controls: and Make Changes and Restart. Please note that you may have to redo all personal toolbar customizations. Customizing

You can also create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
