Some years ago when 'Roomy Bookmarks' no longer worked on Firefox, I discovered how to display only icons on the Bookmarks Toolbar.

I believe It was a very simple edit in about:config

Unfortunately have been unable to locate the note I made regarding the edit.

Did try the plug-in 'compact-toolbar' however even with 'Hide folder names too' the folder names (and bookmark names for that matter) are still displayed.

Have anyone managed to accomplish displaying icons only in Bookmarks Toolbar?

Thanks.

Is anyone else having this issue? The top right of the task bar is supposed to offer the chance to minimize or close the window, with an underscore and an x, ans well to to pop out the window with the two rectangles, one behind and above the other. Mine no longer show up on Firefox, and I can't figure out how to bring them back, if it is even possible.

Hello,

I am writing to inquire about the difference in the fullscreen video transition animation style between Firefox on Windows and macOS.

Observed Difference:

• Windows: Uses a smooth fade-in/fade-out animation when entering and exiting fullscreen, which provides a polished user experience.
• macOS: The transition is present, but it lacks the distinct Windows-style fade effect and feels less smooth or different in style compared to the Windows version.

Settings Checked:

• I have confirmed that the about:config preferences full-screen-api.transition.duration.enter and full-screen-api.transition.duration.leave are both set to 200 200. These settings did not enable the identical Windows fade animation on macOS.

Core Question:

• Is there any current method (e.g., through advanced settings, flags, or extensions) for a user to apply the exact same smooth fade-in/fade-out fullscreen transition animation seen on Windows to Firefox for macOS?
• If there is no current way, is this difference due to limitations with the macOS graphical environment, or is there a plan to unify the animation style in future updates?

Moderator note: This question has been edited to fix the formatting.

Hello, Until the weekend, my firefox home screen has a row or bar across the top that had File - Edit - View - Bookmarks - Tools - etc. (see 'firefox' image attached) Now that row is gone (see second screenshot) Can someone tell me how to get it back please? I tried searching for this but, as I have no idea what this row is called, I came up blank. Thanks Chris

Against my better judgement I download the latest update for Firefox, now my computer is a mess. Things like the row of saved sites between the search line and the space where web address shows is gone. I can find the web sites , but I want the line back. I don't understand ANY of your directions or support pages. I am old and can't keep up with technology any more - I'm about five years behind.

If I just uninstall the latest version of firefox will that fix it? Or will it uninstall ALL of firefox. And please don't give me long involved directions or I will just give up because I don't understand.

Here is my situation. Firefox 145.0.2 is NOT open. A link from another app (like Thunderbird) opens Firefox, but it opens without a title bar. How can I make it open Firefox with a title bar?

recently Firefox has started leaving a small gap at the top of the window with the desktop background (the light blue in the screenshot) is visible when the window is maximized.

This issue doesn't occur with any other program and occurs in troubleshoot mode.

On the screenshots you can see my wallpaper and desktop icons peeking through. This problem had started like a month ago and it was just a one time thing, after opening the browser and getting fullscreen the 2nd it never came back until restarting the browser. Now after the updated with rounded edges everywhere, going fullscreen is always misaligned

When i watch netflix,youtube and etc i cant go fully full screen. i see my desktop wallpaper a small bit on the side and top of my monitor. i only had problems with firefox this way. before i usually could just go out and in to full screen and it would fix but now i cant and its really iritating

I have my desktop extended across two displays. If I disable Hardware Acceleration in Firefox, entering fullscreen causes the window to be slightly offset down and right, leaving a thin band on the top and left sides of the screen where the desktop background and taskbar are visible behind the Firefox window.

From testing I have determined that this issue does not occur if I only have one monitor enabled or the monitors are mirroring the same display. I have also determined that the issue only occurs when Hardware Acceleration is disabled.

Hi! ...I would like to get rid of that little icon/button (because I already have Fifo on mobile, thanks!) How can I do it? Regards and thank you

Hi. I am wondering if there is a way to make the collapsed sidebar hide completely when the mouse cursor is not touching the left hand side of the screen.

I know its possible to make the sidebar expand on hover but id like if its gone until i hover over it.

Looked trough a lot of the help articles and googled about it, but could not find any solution to my "problem"

( picture shows the collapsed sidebar, would like that hidden fully unless you hover over that space )

Thank you Stig

When using the Vertical tabs layout, is it possible to display the contents of my Bookmarks Toolbar on the vertical sidebar? (screenshot attached)

I know that on vertical sidebar, there's already a star button at the bottom to open bookmark. But I want to display the contents of my Bookmark Toolbar directly on the sidebar. Is it possible?

After the last update, I am missing the “Minimize” and “Close” buttons on Firefox on my Microsoft desktop computer. Cannot close the app when finished. Anyone know how I can get them back?
