Prevent multiple Firefox windows

[zamboknee]

I have a workflow that opens multiple sites on the browser Firefox. I guess it's a thing with Firefox that it won't open tabs in the same window. It'll open each tab in it's own window.

Is there a workaround to mitigate this?

I'd like to not have to manually consolidate windows after they open.

Thank you

If there is, it’s probably in Firefox itself. Firefox is severely behind every other major browser in regards to automation. Though I’d be surprised if it didn’t have a setting to always open links in new tabs. Searching for “firefox always open in new tab” on the web shows that it should be possible (but the strategy may have changed, which is why I’m not linking to any in specific).

It only does this when Firefox is NOT open. If it's open already the links open in tabs and not their own windows.

 

Is there a 'delay' type function to incorporate into the workflow?

Ah, that changes things. Indeed you may be able to fix it by telling Firefox to open/activate, waiting a beat, then opening the URLs.

Yes, the Delay Utility.

The Delay Utility worked! Thank you
