Too many tabs bug

[Joshelle_Mojica]

I have a current issue that happened out of nowhere a few days ago. There is a bug that indicates that there are TOO many tabs even though the only tab I have open is the app itself.

I had no problems working on other things on my laptop and having Spotify open at the same time before (my laptop is Google Chrome btw).

I just want this bug fixed so that I can listen to my playlists and browse the app without the annoying message popping up everytime I press the Web Player. 

I have a screenshot of what I get everytime I open it. I don't know what else to do. I already uninstalled it and tried it again but it says the same thing even now that I don't have it installed it still says the same thing. Same goes for restarting my laptop, it doesnt work.

Hey folks,

You will only get this message if you have too many Spotify tabs open at the same time.
If this is not the case for you - try clearing your browser's cache & cookies. It should help out.
If it doesn't - try a different browser to see if that would make a difference.

Cheers!

Play a song from your phone or another Spotify device (desktop version of Spotify counts), clear your browser history, and then log back into Spotify web player. This seems to have been a reliable fix in the past.

Hey there @Alcognac,

Thanks for reaching out here and welcome to the Community 🙂

We'd recommend starting off by heading to this support article and following the steps under Not working?

You could also try using the web player in the application mode of the Google Chrome browser to see if that makes a difference. Here's how:

1. Open our web player.
2. Click on the menu button (the three vertical dots) on the top right portion of the window of your browser.
3. Click on More Tools > Create shortcut.
4. Set a name for the application and check the option Open as Window then click on Create.

Hope you'll find this useful. Give us a shout if you need more help with this!

Hi, I'm currently getting this bug and it doesn't matter what browser I use or whether I only have ONE Spotify tab open - it still gives me the error message. It's immensely frustrating.

Hey @SalazarQuinn,

Thanks for reaching out!

Have you tried @rpenn's suggestion to play a song on the mobile or desktop app, clear your browser history, and then log back in the Web Player? That should do the trick.

Let us know how it goes.
