Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

My experience with Firefox has been great for more than 15 years. However recently there's been a trend of adding new functionality without asking the user whether they want it or not. Moreover, some things cannot be disabled even if I try hard enough.

It was an unpleasant surprise to discover that "This time, search with" panel was removed without my consent, and is now replaced by an extremely inconvenient button. I firmly believe that this is not how UX design is done, and whoever made that choice needs to reevaluate their decision.

How can I revert this change besides rolling back the browser version?

The setting "browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride" did not help, it reverts to *true* on every restart. I have not been able to find any other settings, and I believe that this is not something that a user should do their research on.

Is there a way to affect this change?

I cannot make fire fox work at all.for me. I need the file, edit, history, bookmark tool bar back. I'm pleading with you. Please I BEG you to uninstall the upgrade. Please let me have the Firefox I had last week. I,m 88 and will die before I ever!!!! i can't make anything work.I have over 5,000 bookmarks. I write for a few dollars to partly support myself. Right now I'm out of business. Where is the invisible email address? I have been using FIREFOX since it came out. i can't go through your circus. A browser should have a high degree of instinctive coordination, it shouldn't be similar to experts cryptic calculus level, when your totally unfamiliar with the level of calculus I'm sorry, I won't be able jump through hoops..

When i'm on fullscreen in youtube or click any text or image in firefox a small white bar appears, i think is the same as the bar that appears when you are going to write something. It's pretty small but it bothers me, if anyone can help i appreciate.

Using my Outlook a/c in Firefox I have a problem with the slider bar RH side. It is far too thin in width for the mouse pointer to lock onto to slide it up/down. This is NOT the case in Goggle Chrome or MS Edge where it is much wider EVERYTIME & works well. Another example of buggy Firefox, NOT so with Chrome/Edge as 5 IT Depts have told me not to use Firefox for bug reasons. Anyone know how to fix this myself or how to contact Firefox to tell them to fix it.

Why is this font so small, I have tried everything so much so that I have the about.config on my bookmark tool bar, I have tried the extensions that do not work, zoom makes everything too big, increase the font on my desk top. When I go into the about.config ....To increase the font size in the Firefox address bar, you can modify the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx setting in about:config or edit the userChrome.css file to apply custom CSS rules none of this works. as you can se from the picture the font is SUPER TINY!!! I have changed the setting on my computer for the desktop also and nothing.

MY FF recently updated to version 1380.1 (64bits) and my Sidebar Bookmarks are gone. That is I have to manually put them back every time I now start FF. I want them to always show when I start FF. When I need extra screen space, I would click the X and they'd disappear for that session. And when I was done, I'd click on View - Bookmarks they'd be reinstalled. And when I shut FF down and returned later, they'd be right there where I need them.

My question is, how do I get back to that setup?

No doubt I had something to do with the (fancy font uppercase in bold) B appearing in my Firefox header line as the first and left-most character (image attached). Anyone know the source for this and how to shut it and anything else it does off? I like many others I have read commenting about unwanted things thru the PC years that have a disdain of things that sneak through uninvited.

The other thing so far as I know had nothing to do with Mozilla or Firefox but I'll mention it in case someone has an idea. A product install by the same name permanently labeled an outboard drive with this label bold text'Roboform2Gobold text. I know how it got there, it was with the install the product by that name, which I uninstalled, and no one from that company would or couldn't tell me how to get rid of the relabeling it had done. Uninstalling the software didn't take it out, and no one in a general forum had any suggestions. I know the traditional approach of adding or changing a label, but change attempts don't affect this reminder of a poor product that I had decided not to keep. They refunded, but did not help with the changeless drive label.

1. Is there a way to have contrast control be turned off/on for specific sites? Instead of every single one

2. How can I change the URL color in the dropdown? I've looked up ways to do it and they haven't worked. (Yes, I (mostly) know how userChrome works)

Can you tell me how to increase the size of the tabs once they are pinned? I would like them to be wider so that you can actually see them. There is a whole community devoted to this but they require you to do coding or something. Surely with as many people are asking about this online, you have a way to do it. Please let me know how to change the size. Thank you

Hello everyone,

I've been experiencing an issue with my bookmarks lately. Although my bookmarks are still visible in the Bookmarks Manager, when I open a bookmarked page, the star icon in the upper right corner does not appear filled (indicating it's not saved).

This makes it difficult for me to know whether I've saved a page before or not. I haven't made any recent changes to my settings or browser version, so I'm not sure why this is happening.

Has anyone else encountered this issue, and is there a way to fix it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Is it possible to add a border color to the Bookmark popup menu using userChrome.css? I have search all over but it seems there is no code for adding the border.

Please view image. Regards

How do I change the color of visited links without changing the background color? This is a new problem that started 2-3 weeks ago. The background color is improperly coupled with the visited links setting. Mt previous setting that worked was changed when Firefox received an update and there is no way for e to change the visited links color without it changing the background color. Please help.

I have 2 computers, both with Linux Ubuntu. All of a sudden one of them is missing the File toolbar. It was there this AM but gone now. I looked through the menu and couldn't find where it is that you add the toolbar. On this computer, which has that toolbar, you go to 'view" and there is an item for toolbar. But on the other there are none of those menus and I can't find where to add that toolbar.

When I enable vertical tabs and set the sidebar to expand on hover, the toolbar icons behave inconsistently. In the collapsed state, the icons are arranged vertically, which is correct. However, as soon as the sidebar expands, they switch to a horizontal layout—making it difficult to click the tool I want. Is there any way to prevent this automatic rearrangement and keep the icons in a vertical column even when the sidebar is expanded?
