Firefox Community Forum

I have a Firefox icon on my Windows11 desktop, Start, and one on the taskbar. If I click one either the Firefox icon on the desktop or Start I will get another icon on the task bar and I can do this over and over on my personal desktop getting many Firefox icons.

I just purchased a new Dell Windows11 desktop and have installed Firefox. I set it up just like my personal desktop and have icons on the desktop, Start, and taskbar but every time I click the Firefox desktop or Start icon I don't get a separate icon in the taskbar but they pile up behind the original Firefox on the taskbar. If the cursor hovers over the Firefox icon then I can see the multiple Firefox homepages that I generated.

I have searched for an answer to this problem but have been unsuccessful. I would really appreciate some thoughts on this issue. Firefox has been my one and only browser for many years and I love it 99% of the time, just not this one time. :-) Thank you in advance. Chuck Hall

Hello people,

I have a problem. At the moment I am running a Firefox version 143 on Linux with different windows. At the top left you can then select which windows you want to use. Only now it has disappeared. You get a home page. I have tried several solutions. Anyway, how do you get the rest back? Thanks.

Someone had me do an add-on. I have no idea what the add-on did. Nor do I know how to use the add-on or if it installed correctly. No one gave instruction on how to do what I am asking . So I am stuck with the need to make my scroll bar wider. I need detailed instructions for an idiot on the computer.

how can i colorize the vertical tabs icon when collapsed so i dont acciudentally close the window assuming no tabs in that window. (vertical tabs new position*bold text)

In the past month any browsing window I use suddenly goes to full screen and I have to manually reset it by resizing it. Why does this auto-full sizing occur? I can not find a setting that allows this. I just want any screen window I have to stay the way I set it.

this update is NOT my favorite too many things are missing or are revamped into something i do not like. for instance. i HATE the way the sidebar is compressed to the side, then takes up valuable space with NONSENSE that i do not want. the toolbar - HOLY CRAPOLA!! i hate the new toolbar. i want the old tool bar and side bar back. there is SOOOO MUCH about the new toolbar that i hate that i simply can not begin to express where to start.

after so many years using firefox and recommending it to my customers - ill have to look for another browser to use and recommend to others.. i hate this!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to drop in here and give an update to my original post detailing how to hide the tabs and address bar when in fullscreen mode, using the View/Toolbars/Bookmarks Toolbar/Never Show command. With this css in place and the preferences set, toggling the bookmarks toolbar in fullscreen mode will toggle everything at the top of the FF window (but won't do that unless fullscreen is active).

This code changed recently (like, today) because the "collapsed" attribute from the #PersonalToolbar item no longer toggles between "true" and "false" when the user hides/shows the toolbar — instead, the "collapsed" attribute disappears entirely when the toolbar is showing, and reappears to be assigned the value "" (yes, empty) when the toolbar is hidden.

--- Here's the CSS. It goes into a text file called "userChrome.css".

root[sizemode="fullscreen"] #navigator-toolbox:has(#PersonalToolbar[collapsed=""]) {

 visibility: collapse;

}

--- On the Mac, here's the location. The CSS file then goes into a "chrome" folder in the "Profiles" folder located within your Mac user account's "Library" folder (not the Profiles folder within the Library folder on the root of the system drive, but the one in your computer account Home folder). You'll probably need to create the chrome folder. Just put the CSS above into a text file, name that file "userChrome.css" and drop it in the location shown below. Quit Firefox first, of course.

/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/chrome/

--- You'll also need to set the about:config options in Firefox to allow legacy user profile customizations. Go to about:config in the browser, and search for "toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets" and set this preference to "true".

--- The code only updated slightly today. See my original "question" here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1448596#
