With the pervasive cookie tracking nowadays, I would like to consent to all cookie requests that continually pop up asking for more information but now I must adjust accordingly and use Private Tabs more info so I need a feature that can let me use Private and Normal tabs in the same window, at Firefox.

I cannot see the text I highlight for copy or links so I don't know if it's copied or not- is there a way to adjust that? It's very irritating..

I have an iMac

Somehow I recently added a favorites side bar to my page and not sure how to get rid of it now. Now when I open my saved pages it turns it into a 2 step process. Now it opens up a side bar and then I have to click on the star to open my saved pages. Before I just clicked on the folder and it opened them up. I have searched on help but none of it helped. One solution was to got to settings and to hide side bar but I don't have that option. Tried to customized toolbars, nothing seems to work. I use the favorites all the time and to turn it into a 2 step process is a pain.

I'm doing a clean up and restoration of my current windows. Its great that now firefox has sync which makes transferring easier. Base on the article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-synced-tabs-other-devices

"Additionally, you can use the Firefox Sidebar to access synced tabs. While viewing synced tabs in Sidebar, right clicking on device name allows you to open all tabs from a device at once. "

I've tried and search everywhere but I don't see this option at all. There is no option even after right clicking.

At the same time, i'm wondering if sync is better than copying the entire profile over

I have tried the sidebar and it seems OK BUT the background colour is pale blue and the text on top of it is white. This means it is very difficult to read. How do you change either the background colour of the sidebar OR the colour of the text in the sidebar? I have tried the main settings (Manage Colours) for Firefox and found nothing.

I have many accounts per platform, so I have MANY pinned (permanent) tabs. Unfortunately, these pinned tabs take up all of the available space to display the unpinned (temporary) tabs. I have been searching for a way to isolate the Pinned tabs under their own dropdown menu, or some other method. I believe the new sidebar and vertical tabs could be the solution (especially once you add the "Expand on hover" option. Please provide an option to have Pinned tabs appear in the vertical tab orientation in the Sidebar, but leave the Unpinned tabs in the standard horizontal layout.

Hi 🦊,

I love the new integration with AI chatbots in the Firefox sidebar—such an awesome feature! 🙌

However, I’ve run into an inconvenience: the logins happen in the default browser context, which causes conflicts between different accounts. For example, I use my personal Google account for OpenAI and my company Google account for Gemini, and I don’t want them to share the same context.

It would be amazing if I could assign a container to each chatbot, just like I can when opening a new tab. Even grouping all AI chatbot logins into a dedicated container or context—separate from the generic one—would go a long way toward solving this.

Thanks for the great work and for considering this!

Now there is no "other" category for topic of question. This concerns display, layout, and functionality.

Having a huge problem with Firefox recently. It looks and behaves like Microsoft type display, security, and function all around has been superimposed on Firefox. Every time I need to do something online my effort is first redirected to trying to fix configuration problem on Firefox.

It is bad enough to have to do battle with windows 11 to config the layout and display so that it is functional instead of going from one screen to another and another when there is an issues that needs configuring, which always then requires a search and fixing it in Microsoft registry (if possible). Now that is happening with the Firefox display, layout, and functionality which requires a search try to find a page where some kind soul has provided a fix for FF via about:config (if possible).

My brower updated to 136.xx in mid-march after I had already disabled auto update. However, have not had problems until recently, so it seems to be something the microsoft system has started doing to compromise the configured functionality of Firefox. It is no impossible to update or change passwords because "microsoft security" has taken over. Did Microsoft buy controlling interest in Firefox, or what.

Today The layout has started being a problem too. Very elementary without features, with huge words and images although I have changed nothing in Firefox. It is as dumbed down and tedious as Windows 10 when it was brand new. I use a desktop and I really don't want it to look and behave with the limits, and appearnace of a large sized mobile phone screen.

No Firefox update since mid March is showing, however something is interferring with the Firefox display, layout, and functionality. I can only guess it is the Windows 11 OS . . .

Is there a way to protect Firefox from Microsoft meddling with the Firefox configuration?

I have not yet tried to stop enhanced security in each website that is a problem (though most of them currently are, not simply individual websites). Perhaps that is the problem . . . at this problem it needs to be universally disabled if that IS the problem. All the additional security being piled on is simply hoops to jump through for users. We all know it does not stop the pros who are intent on hacking as a team sport. I really do not want to have to fool around signing to a Firefox account, and getting a code to be able to complete the signin to be able configure the brower to simply access the internet.

Starting to think FF, including support, is being managed and responded to by A.I. - which always ends up being a programmer problem that creates the limits. Intentional or not is the question.,,,,

Hoping some kind souls have found solutions, or locations to solutions they are willing to share.

Thanks - from redirected and disenchanted in ABQ

Is there a way to show bookmarks on particular sites without showing them all the time?

My use case is that I have a plugin's url set as my home page and new tab page and would like to be able to see my bookmarks when I open a new tab but not when I'm on other tabs.

Bonus question; is there a way to have my new tabs open to that plugin's url but also have the url bar empty for browsing?

Thanks in advance for any help with either of these I imagine specific questions.

Dear Firefox Team, I would like to ask you to consider updating Firefox for Windows desktop computers. I appreciate the innovative solutions introduced in your products, so I would like to propose adding a new functionality to the browser's home page. I propose implementing the option of displaying news directly on the home page. Users could easily select news categories that interest them, which would allow for better personalization of the presented content. What's more, it would be possible to set the refresh rate of the displayed news - for example, every 3, 5 minutes or at any selected time intervals.

I am convinced that such a feature would significantly increase the usability of the browser and could attract more users who expect quick and personalized information on a daily basis.

Thank you for your time and for considering my proposal. I hope that future releases of Firefox will find a place for this innovative functionality.

So when I read and edit documents (PDFs), I need to manually select the highlighter and other tools, and it is very painful and tedious. Also, there is no option for different modes, such as solarized mode, and I need to install extensions, which are not compatible as well. Now is there any way to enable and fix these?
