I have a Googlebook (laptop running Android) and I have Firefox Android installed. Currently it just looks like a scaled up phone browser. Is there a way to have it detect the "Android Desktop Environment" and be more like a desktop browser, mainly a bookmarks bar and a tab bar with vertical tabs? It would also be nice if it could handle mouse events (right click, etc). Thank you for your time.

With the new FF 157.0.1 (64-bit) it seems the download icon in the toolbar is now purple. I want this back to the old colour but have no idea how to do this. Why was this changed, because the colour hurts my eyes.

BTW .. using FF on Windows 11 (25H2)

New Tab UI Text Colors

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?

How do I recover the normal additional toolbar in firefox that shows options for maps, images, videos etc. This toolbar is no longer shown on firefox - perhaps it's because firefox has recently been updated and no longer gives that facility?

I know that I can change the appearance of Firefox with themes. I am currently using a light-colored theme called Elemental - Soft. Even still, whenever I go to print something or look at my history the backgrounds are black, which makes them hard to see properly. I have tried using the default theme in Firefox but this problem still exists. I'm using no other extensions or plug-ins to make my browser do this.

Second, is there any way to get rid of the purple highlights around boxes such as the ones in the print dialog screen? I really dislike this color.

Thanks

Tab Aesthetic choices?

Hi there, I was wondering if we could get a setting to change the aesthetics of the tabs in our browser. Currently, we have a 'button'-type highlight for our current tab, but I was hoping we could manage our themes or preferences to actually have the tab visually 'connect' to the browser page itself.

It would help a lot with visibility, and I would greatly appreciate either the suggestion as an option or giving theme creators the option to tinker with the shape of tabs as a whole.

Can you please change back tabs to how they used to be before update 157?

The new gradient is horrible / super annoying - feels cluttered - the focus should just be on the content (favicon and tab name). Seriously considering switching to chrome because of this.

Firefox 157: Nova interface, how do I revert back to the previous gui?

Regarding FF v157:

- Mozilla have changed the Graphical user interface of Firefox without asking for consent or providing a clear way to revert back to the old interface, yet again. - They have made changes to the settings, so pre-installed search engines can only be toggled off and NOT removed... - There are a bunch of themes now pre-installed that can't be removed.

I think pushing a change without over way to revert, is why I a lot of people don't donate to the Mozilla foundation
