Firefox Community Forum

The most frustrating thing about Firefox is the assumption that an update should take liberties with the UI look of the application. After updating to v160 I can no longer see which tab is my active tab, and on top of that, there seems to be no easy way to change this. I have an add-on called "Firefox Color" which seems to give me the ability to change my active tab color, but it does not work. I think I saw the active tab blink red, my chosen color, once, but it does not happen reliably. I also do not have an accent color across the top of the tab either. This is why I hate to update Firefox. Couldn't they offer security updates separate from updates that change the UI look? I have my browser set up a certain way that works quite efficiently and I like the look, so I do not want it to be changed.

All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks, Chris

I have done a clean install of firefox on my new pc and I cannot access the Rcgroup forums (very very slow to access if at all) it works fine in Google Chrome and brave browsers.

Since Alberta adopted permanent daylight savings time / Alberta Time on Nov 1, Firefox ESR 115.44.0 and 115.45.0 on macOS have displayed the wrong time by one hour (i.e. UTC-7, instead of UTC-6). My system time (set to automatic) updated to the new time zone and displays the correct time, as does Safari. I’m not using a proxy / VPN, and don’t have “Resist Fingerprinting" enabled.

(I’m guessing all of the Canadian provinces and territories that adopted similar time zone policies this year have the same issue, although I can’t confirm firsthand.)

Any help is much appreciated!

The list of recently visited sites only shows the Logout page for nationwide.co.uk. Obviously I want to open the Login page. I have tried Dismiss and Remove from History, but neither has any effect. This problem has only occurred since the latest update to Firefox.

I use proton pass to save my passwords. When using firefox on an older mac desktop (2019), I cannot get passwords to autofill, nothing pops up and instead I have to copy and paste each time. Is there a way to resolve this?

Not getting the email containing the code for syncing. Have added the accounts@firefox.com and the firefox.com domain to my safe senders. I have received emails from Mozilla before so don’t know why I’m not getting this one.

I have recently moved to Firefox and now am trying to customize my shortcuts (MacBook Air M1). The "Customize keyboard shortcuts" page doesn't open as shown with about:keyboard. However I find I can simply dismiss from the normal search page but need to limit the number of them as it seems to be going through the whole list of recent searches! Thanks for any help you might have,

Cheers, Cathy

After browsing the internet, i find new stuff on my screen. Then I have to spend time deleting all the shortcuts I don't want. I have the home screen set the way I want it and don't want it to arbitrarily add short cuts I don't want or need. I hate it when it messes up what I have set.

I would like to disable the graphics hardware acceleration so I can access a video link and I'm told to go to the Settings page of the Firefox browser. When I look for the general panel on the left of the page, I can't find it, so I cannot scroll down to the performance section. I suspect that the new update of the Firefox settings have changed somewhat. Can someone tell me where to find these features? Thank you.

When I tried to watch a video, I got the following message:

"Video unavailable due to your privacy settings

Your browser has Global Privacy Control (GPC) enabled, which prevents video providers from receiving viewing data.

To watch this video you will need to disable GPC in your browser and reload the page."

How can I watch the video?

Recently (Nov/26) there have been frequent popup windows advertising Firefox opt ions and services: come up as a 'new' window. Is this legit? I run adblock plus for years and ublock as of today Nov 11/26. How to block and/or disable these annoying ads. Thank you

Firefox has turned Clean Links ON by default. But, that messes up saving text from a webpage into OneNote which automatically saves the link to the page the text comes from. Now all we get is a link for the Home page of the website, making it practically impossible to find the page we need that the text reference is in. This is a deal breaker for using Firefox if this can't be turned off, but no search in Help has given me any info to turn it off. Thanks in advance for any help.
