Hello. I have a question about Firefox settings. In the "Accessibility" section of the settings, there are "Automatic," "Off," and "Custom" options. Is it not possible to change the color of visited and unvisited links except for "Custom"? I was using the "Stylus" add-on, but recently (since around the time of the Firefox update), the link color change often doesn't work. (The color changes if I reload the page, though.) I would like to know if it's possible to change the color of visited and unvisited links even with the "Automatic" and "Off" options in Firefox's "Accessibility" settings. Is "Custom" the only option in "Accessibility" to change the color of visited and unvisited links?

I cant stand the new sidebar and the revamp false has kept me in firefox. Now its stuck with padding on the outside, padding on the inside even with NOVA turned off. I have gone back to firefox 157 for now.

Is there anyone forking firefox away from all this curvy padded UI. This is very unpleasant.

Hi, I'd like to remove the rounded corners ( they are too big) everywhere in the Firefox browser. The suggestions I've found online aren't helping me. Do you have a solution for beginners?

I have a lot of bookmarks and am always adding new ones. Suddenly, a couple of weeks ago (Oct 2026), when I go to bookmark a new page, the star goes from clear to filled-in dull grey, not bright blue as it always used to. In the same way, when I go to a previously bookmarked page (and I've checked this on about 30-40 sites, so it's not a specific site), the little star is dull grey, not blue. I can't make any new blue stars and I can't turn any old ones blue again. They are all dull grey and I find them hard to distinguish. Was this part of the recent Firefox 'new look', and if so, can anyone help me get my blue stars back? I'm using desktop (not phone).

The new update is reminiscent of the early days - too artsy, colorful and distracting. I appreciate FF and want to continue using it. I'd prefer not to have to use code to do this, I don't understand it or what might go wrong. thank you!

Using Firefox 115.38esr, the menu bar disapeared but I got it back but at the same time the tool bar expanded downward, showing more detail about each tool and the address bar shortened. How to I restore it?

The top row in Firefox browser doesn't have any tabs, it looks as pictured in screenshot (Chrome below for comparison). I only see the icon and text for a page, but that isn't enough to know clickable area, and it makes it unintuitive.

I tried several browser themes but none of them changes this. There doesn't seem to be a setting for hardware acceleration anymore that used to solve it for some users in the past based on a search on topic.

Maybe this really is how it's meant to look but the design just went backwards from what we want to see; tabs are no longer tabs but something vague. Can never please everyone i suppose, but i want old back.

avant quand j'ouvrais firefox j'avais au dessus de ma barre d'adresse tous les modules pour corriger , imprimer, enregistrer, ou autres la je n'ai plus rien comment je peux faire pour retrouver mon firefox d'antan

Fixing recent UI mistakes

It started with that new button on the menu bar to the left of the arrows which IMO was just clutter. I don't even remember what it was supposed to do but at least it was easy to remove.

The next UI mistake IMO was adding the new "Profiles" menu as a main menu entry instead of as a submenu under "Files" or "Tools". This new entry renders dead last after the older menu bar is already onscreen (why?). Many times I am clicking "Tools" or "Help" only to have those pushed left just as clicked. Maybe I am too quick with the mouse, but this feels like a prank not a feature. I saw no way to move "Profiles" to a submenu so I had to disable the feature in about:config.

Now there is a new menu option "Help->Share Firefox" placed as the last submenu entry where "About Firefox" has always been, so out of habit I am hitting "Share" when I really want "About". Again this feels like a prank. Wouldn't "Share" make more sense under "Tools"?

These bad UI decisions could be alleviated with a way to edit the menu organization. Is this feature available? Maybe as a theme?

Hi!

I am using the add on 'sidebery' for vertical tabs and I am so happy about and so gotten used to it! (No, sorry, I don't want to use the built-in option)

Today I updated to FF 157.0 and saw this annoying part in the sidebar (as seen in the image attached)! WTaF? o.O I didn't ask for them to take up space in the sidebar that could fit almost TWO vertical tabs! Can I somehow make it go away? Or do I have to contact the creator of 'sidebery' (which I don't think is the culprit)?

userChrome.css 'trick' with

1. sidebar-header #sidebar-box {

   display: none !important;  

} won't do either.

Thank y'all very much!

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?

Is it possible to add the File Edit History menu to Firefox for Mac? For those of us who have cut our computer teeth on DOS/Winders, not having the standard File Edit Bookmarks... menu makes it hard to navigate your Firefox for Mac application. Even if many of the File Edit commands are not there because Mac does not use anything remotely like the windows commands it would be nice to know exactly where the more standard commands are located on either OS. Commands like New Tab, New Window, Open File, Close Tab, Close Window, Save Page As, Print, Offline, Exit, Cut, Copy, Paste, Recently Closed Tabs\Windows, Bookmarks and Help would be REALLY nice to have their screen location standardized across all Operating Systems that you support with a firefox browser.

BTW... I still have FirefoxSetup-0.9.exe, FirefoxSetup-0.9.1.exe, FirefoxSetup-0.9.3.exe, FirefoxSetup 1.0.exe for windows... Need a copy?  :)

1. I didn't know where to put this post. 2. Firefix is as clueless as every other software manufacturer out there. 3. I do not want the response. I am posting because Firefox development should know about these and firefox has been relatively good over the years - until now, never had a complaint. 4. These are identified problems. 2x each since firefox pushed out this build nobody asked for.

In one case, the popup is necessary and not there. In the second the POPUP text is completely unnecessary. Does the USER REALLY NEED TO BE TOLD TO FILL IN THE "HOW CAN WE HELP BOX" IS THAT NECESSARY, IS MAKING IT NEVER GO AWAY NECESSARY?

I am grateful for everything Firefox has done over the years... Thank you

The whole point of the container tab colors is to be NOTICEABLE and instantly recognizable so you can find what you're looking for EASILY and assign new tasks to the correct grouping. I'd ask whose dumb idea it was to remove the colors from the tabs, but everything is apparently slop coded now. The icons are also now stupid, too washed out to be helpful, and I want the WHOLE TAB to be the correct color, not that stupid tiny line across the top. Do the slop-jockeys actually use this software? Because it appears either they don't, or have no idea how people work in real life. These are useless.
