I recently updated my Firefox to v158 from v156, and now the text colors of some of the UI elements on a new tab (e.g. Firefox wordmark, web shortcuts, Recent Activity header) which were previously white, have been changed to black (or a color close to black).

I use a custom wallpaper for new tabs, which didn't alter these particular colors on v156. Switching the background in the Customize menu shows the white text on some of the default wallpapers and the dark text on others. I have attached example screenshots to show how these elements looked before and after the update. I used the Developer Tools console to do this.

I assume this has to do with the "modernized" Nova UI redesign (which I have disabled) Mozilla is now forcing on its userbase instead of making it optional. Reverting these properties via the Developer Tools console does not make them permanent. I would rather not have to change my current wallpaper if I can help it.

Is there any other way I can make the text white again without changing the background or downgrading? Or if I can make them permanent with the console?

Re: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1600764 . TL;DR, encountered this exact loading issue of firefox responding and after using a profile blamed it on a patience issue. I assumed so because my longest hang time would end up being ten minutes, which was the first time, never got past 5 minutes afterwards. Fast forward to now, it has been a few weeks since I used my pc due to general life business, so I had to turn it on, firefox opens, hang takes FIFTY MINUTES. I have also had to restart firefox several times due to missing updates and each and every hang time has taken a MINIMUM half an hour, and this is before giving up and closing the window on many instances. I have been sat here trying to do anything in firefox for over five hours now. The ONLY excuse that I can make up is the main reason I'm at my pc is because it needs updates and is currently downloading updates, so that is using a lot of my disc (I'm on an HDD if that's important), however it shouldn't take nearly an HOUR to use firefox for like a minute and then take ANOTHER hour simply due to hang time. I have also checked task manager and Firefox is using very little cpu (0%-2% at most) and not a lot of ram (initial hangs were down to ~50 mb, now it's around 300). The only thing I can think of is that the issue could be with the history file being corrupted, but since I have that synced with a mobile device, i don't know what that would do, nor do I want to lose my history, but otherwise i am at a loss and need more advice.

About 4-6 weeks ago Chase started throwing an error message when I tried to log in. Some other banks, credit agencies, brokerage houses also same thing. The work with Chrome and Edge.

Can Mozilla get past this or do I give up and use a predatory browser?

I can't implement the suggested solution

• Open your profile folder: Windows: C:\Users\<YourUser>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>\

because no Mozilla folder is being found

No Firefox folder is being found either.

My laptop did something funky upon booting up. It showed a "Desktop" and then a "Desktop 2", for what that's worth.

What in the world have you done to Firefox??? It is so screwed up that it is impossible to log in. What used to be a wonderful way to cruise the web somewhat safely has turned into an impossible adventure. After several weeks trying to work around what appears to be bad code, I gave up and went to Opera. I've often wondered if people from competitors to Firefox have infiltrated its ranks to intentionally destroy it. It has happened before and certainly appears to have happened again.

I have the notification that Firefox is being controlled by my organization and there isn't one. When I checked into it, what is listed is that Nord WANTS to install "NordVPN CyberSec.cer". I switched VPNs months ago, too. I went in and deleted it wherever you do that, but it hasn't updated in this area so it's still affecting my account. I need to update my email and it won't allow me to, for example. How can a certificate that hasn't been installed and for which even that request has been deleted, do this? And what can I do to get rid of it? Thanks!

I don"t understand why Firefox does not explain why I cannot get Lifelabs Toromto St. Uxbridge ON to stay open for me to make an appointment. The computor freezes, then I cannot do anything with the computor.

Since the last upgrade i haven't been able to download CSV files from my bank. It works fine with Chrome but not Firefox. Not a biggy i know! it just inconvenient as i don't use chrome at all normally. I have contacted the bank and they say yes it is a firefox issue. Is there any way i can fix it Its just annoying really

I am a long time (decades) user of Firefox. Over the years you have gradually increased your security measures. I have adapted, two-factor, etc, having no choice. But recently (last 6 months or so) I have been UNABLE to sign into motel networks. There used to be a "accept" option to bypass the security issues mentioned in this write-up. That bypass is no longer available.

We travel a lot for long weekends and this situation, not being able to sign-in and use my computer for a full weekend, is UNTENABLE to me. If you can not fix this problem, I will have NO choice but to end using Firefox and switch to another browser. Chuck

Hello, I installed the Firefox 158.8 update on my iMac (macOS Sequoia 15.8.1) today. All websites are working as usual, except for Amazon Prime Video; it loads once and then freezes. I can't perform any actions on the page—everything remains unresponsive. I can't enter a different URL in the address bar or reload the page, either. The only thing I can do is close the page. I’ve cleared the cache and disabled ad blockers, but nothing changes. Strangely, this doesn't happen with Firefox on my MacBook. What could the problem be?

The CGNAT (RFC6598, 100.64.0.0/10) address space is currently included as part of the local network. I need to exclude this space from being considered "local", as I need CGNAT to not be blocked, but the standard RFC1918 addresses do need to be blocked.

I have attempted to put just the RFC1918 addresses into network.lna.address_space.private.override, but that didn't have any affect, and putting the CGNAT into the network.lna.address_space.public.override didn't work either. I cannot find documentation on these fields so I have no clue how to use them.

And by put them in, I put in standard CIDR notation, comma delimited, so: 192.168.0.0/16,172.16.0.0/12,10.0.0.0/8.

This problem is encountered with Firefox 157.0.1 (aarch64) under MacOS.

The best solution would be for there to be an option in the standard preferences panel to exclude CGNAT from being considered local, as I think many home users are using the RFC1918, and not the CGNAT space.

Thank you for your help.

Recently when I upload files into my email it does remember the last folder I uploaded from? I have to reclick through multiple folders to get back to the one file folder where I was last. This is new. The only changes I have done is updated to the latest Mozilla browser and added the duck duck go plugin.

I should also say I am not tech savvy at all!

Suddenly with the latest update, I'm seeing "send link to mobile" when I right-click on a link. I understand this is useful for many people but I will never use it and would like to remove it from the already-cluttered context menu. I don't see any instructions for doing that, and couldn't find it in about:config. It's frustrating to have something suddenly added without my consent and with no information on how to remove it.
