Some extensions, like Bitwarden or Notes, seem to have added their own shortcut icons between the settings cog and the other functions below the tabs, with seemingly no way to remove them? I already have them in my regular toolbar / extension overflow, which has much more space available, so I don't see the point of why there's duplicate ones in the sidebar taking away tab space?

Basically title.

Every time I close the browser and re-open it, the favicons disappear. I use the favicons to navigate to websites on my bookmark toolbar, but they're missing from my regular bookmarks, too.

I found an old thread that appeared similar, and the solution was to take a working copy of the favicons.db file and re-import it if it breaks (while the browser application is closed). However, this did not work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Text input is hard to read due to dark block overlay while typing

Hello,

I'm experiencing a visual issue when typing in text input fields (such as input boxes or textareas) in Firefox. While typing, a dark overlay or block appears behind the current word or text I'm typing, which makes it very hard to read. It looks like some kind of highlight or shadow, possibly related to spellcheck or text recognition.

This issue occurs across different websites and makes it uncomfortable to type for long periods. I'm currently using Firefox [137.0.2] on Windows 10.

I've attached a screenshot that shows the problem clearly.

Things I've tried so far: - Disabling spellcheck - Changing themes - Disabling extensions - Testing in private window

None of these solved the issue.

Notably, switching to the **light theme** makes the issue disappear — the text input background becomes clear and easy to read again. However, I prefer to use the **dark theme**, so I’m looking for a solution that works in dark mode as well.

Can anyone help identify what's causing this or suggest a way to disable this effect while keeping the dark theme?

Thanks in advance!

Firefox now has a dark background on a "simple" html page without css styling (see screenshot #1). You may reproduce this issue by browsing to a local page like http://localhost:8080 with something like a 404-page (see screenshot #2)

That far - dark mode is cool, isn't it? Yep, it would be. If the text would not be black, on a dark background.

Happens to me without any plugins, or any userChrome etc. (Screenshot was taken with plugins on, but disabling them (and restarting) had no effect)

Workarounds discovered: - set `layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override` to 1 (This changes nearly everything to white, which is not what I want.

- Setting theme to the builtin white/light works, but:

    - View Source has white text on white background (see screenshot #3)
    - Everything is in light mode, and thats simply not what I want

What I would expect: - Viewing a page without shitty modifications - Viewing a white page (suprise suprise) white

(please excuse spelling/grammar errors made, I am not a native speaker)
