Firefox Community Forum

I see "Look for the VPN setup prompt in the top-right corner of your Firefox toolbar. If you don't see it, click the VPN icon in the toolbar." I don't see a setup prompt, and I don't see a VPN icon. What does it look like? Where should it be?

Another message says I can modify the toolbar to add the icon, but I see no icon for VPN.

Windows 11, Firefox 151.0.

After the resent update i had yesterday 19/05/2026 my icons section and the icon have all become smaller, i had studies on and i remove that, and it did not help. It have happened the last year now that every second or third update my shortcuts icon and the space around em get smaller and smaller, now the text under icons are all broken up, a year ago it lined up perfectly and readable with the right place for new lines.

I got so much space on my start page and it keep use less and less, is there a way to undo this smaller size.

Using Windows 11 and got display setting 2560 x 1440, which is not small but no near big neither in today.

I can't figure out which topic to use for this but I can't submit it without one.

When I click on the star icon in the address bar the star icon is filled in, and existing bookmarks do show with the filled-in star icon and they work. But I no longer get a dropdown where I can assign a folder, edit, tag, or delete an existing bookmark, and the pages I've tried to bookmark don't show up in Recently Bookmarked so they haven't been added. I don't know if it has something to do with the toolbar?

Nothing I can find online helps. The places.sqlite file in my profile is not read-only, and I refreshed Firefox (stupidly, before I took a screenshot of the pinned shortcuts on my New Tabs page) and that made no difference. The only extension I use is UBlock Origin. Changing profiles did not help. This is on my personal laptop and no organization controls my settings.

I stay up to date on Windows 11 and Firefox updates. I do use a VPN but it never interfered with bookmarking functionality before. (I see Firefox offers a free one now but I've got a couple of years left on my paid subscription).

I asked the community but got no replies. (I did "reply" to add more information which no longer applies, and I can't seem to delete the "reply".)

Thanks in advance for any help!

When I click to save a bookmark, the menu that allows you to select the folder to save it to is no longer being displayed. If I click the save bookmark option again, it gives the option to edit the bookmark like it has always done. The bookmark menu then pops up and shows the bookmark is saved in whatever folder you had saved a bookmark in previously. I am on a desktop using windows 11. This has been happening for the last couple of days. I have shutdown the computer and also tried restarting but am still not able to see the selection box when saving a bookmark. I am also current on firefox updates and windows updates.

I see the VPN box on the top right of the browser. I clicked on Get Started, I signed in. But nothing happens, I cannot turn on the VPN. Am I missing something?

Thanks

when I opened my computer this morning all my firefox tabs are really tiny and there is a box upper right that is showing weather. I am not interested in this and I want my screen to look like before. Why do you keep changing things that work fine and give me things that I don't want or need.

I was not given a VPN setup on restarting Firefox, and have no VPN icon in my toolbar. I have tried using customise toolbar, but there is no VPN icon to add back. Version 150.0, automatically opened to "What's New in Firefox 150" on starting Firefox, just without a new VPN icon. Thanks

I have tried for several days to get Firefox to use this GPU; I cannot. Chrome, and Edge use this GPU without issues.

I am using Firefox 151.0 (64-bit) 20260516144017 on Windows 11 Pro 25H2, 26200.8457 Nvidia RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU with latest driver: NVIDIA RTX Driver Release R595 U4 (596.36) Tue Apr 28, 2026.

Windows > System > Display > Graphics > Firefox GPU preference: High Performance (NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU)

Firefox Settings: General > Performance:

unchecked Use recommended performance settings
 checked    Use hardware acceleration when available

My latest combination of settings are:

gfx.webrender.all = true gfx.webrender.force-disabled = false

webgl.default-low-power = false webgl.disable-wgl = false webgl.disabled = false webgl.enable-prototype-webgl2 = true webgl.force-enabled = true

I have tried several combination of settings to no avail.

I always get: about:support > Graphics > Compositing: WebRender (Software).

Any help is very appreciated -- thank you.
