Firefox Community Forum

I'm on Debian 13 stable with firefox nightly (tarball) downloaded from the firefox website with firefox running on wayland. I don't recall the exact time / build that this issue happened, but it has been persistent for over a week or two already.

The issue I am seeing is where secondary menus or popups do not scale properly in firefox. This includes Popups for extensions, right click menus, or even link previews (long click left mouse btn).

<See screenshots>

Things I tried with no luck:

• Restarting my computer
• Restarting firefox / Updating firefox from the firefox website (https://www.firefox.com/en-US/channel/desktop/)
• Changing my display scale (100%) to (90%)
• Changing firefox display scale from (130%) to (100%)
• Refreshing firefox through the settings (aka clearing extensions and all the other stuff)
• Switching to X11 and back to Wayland... X11 worked fine, but back to Wayland just got things borked again
• Updating all system packages on Debian (nothing much except for security updates on debian stable)

Now the questions I have:

1. Is there a way to fix this issue? 2. Where could I file a bug for this issue? 3. Are there other people with this same issue?

So, I recently updated my copy of Mozilla Firefox, and I noticed something strange. The button for the built-in VPN is disproportionately large to other buttons and clickable elements. I don't see it in the release notes, so I doubt this is an intentional design choice by the UX team, at least I hope it isn't. Any help will be greatly appreciated, as it is really distracting.

If it helps, I'm using Mozilla Firefox 151.0.2 running under GNU/Linux Debian 13 Trixie as a Flatpak.

A while ago I made some changes in about:config and also in my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk,css file so as to control my scrollbar and slider -- making them more visible:

/* Log out, and back in for these changed to take effect: */

scrollbar { background-color: #cccccc; } scrollbar slider { min-width: 20px; }

/* dark green: pointer is not in the active window */ scrollbar slider:backdrop { background-color: #00aa00; }

/* green: pointer is in the active window but not on a slider */ scrollbar slider { background-color: #00ff00; }

/* dark red: pointer is hovering over slider but mouse button not pressed */ scrollbar slider:hover { background-color: #aa0000; }

/* red: slider is active */ scrollbar slider:hover:active { background-color: #ff0000; }

/* No effect: */ /* scrollbar-color: blue white; */

... it works half the time. Some pages obey the above settings but other pages continued to show a scrollbar about a mm wide with the slider so faint as to barely be visible. So, in 'about:config' :

widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override 30

... at least made the narrow scrollbar a bit wider. But how to change it's color? Doing this in a file:

~/.mozilla/firefox/5dqk4533.default/chrome/userContent.css:

html,body{

   scrollbar-color: yellow blue !important;
  }
.... doesn't change anything.  Is there some complete guide to controlling the srollbars?  Nice if it could all be handled in one place of course.

as is the text I read takes only 1/3 of the available width of the screen. In reading mode I can widen that, but many pages lose a lot in reading mode. How can I widen the text in normal mode?

Hi, after updating to FF ver. 151 (Linux Mint 22.3) the container icon on my address-bar disappeared. I can still use containers by right clicking in the bookmarks drop down menu.

I am running 150.0.1 on Debian with Cinnamon. I set the fonts to use for Chinese to a custom fonts, where I left Latin fonts to use untouched, I found I must set Latin to use my custom Chinese fonts in order to display Chinese webpage properly, where the English fonts will get out of place, extra spacing in Apostrophe for example, "It's" will become "It 's", this is particular trouble when viewing on Youtube. But I set to use the same custom fonts on Chrome both English and Chinese displayed perfectly.

On Linux Mint 22 on my desktop, the buttons in the RH top corner are tiny. I have measured the minimise line and it is under 2mm long.

I have tried various searches to see if these controls could be made larger, but most questions suggest changing the theme. I don't want to do that, and I'm sceptical that it would make any difference anyway.

Has anyone got any suggestions how they could be made bigger?

I'm using the MATE desktop.

Thank you

I've recently noticed that the minimize button on the top right of the screen is missing, all I have is the close app button and a drop down. I'm on Bazzite, I have the sidebar disabled, I've already done a refresh. The only thing I really haven't done is a full uninstall then reinstall, but I wanted to see if there was a setting I missed anywhere. I've attached a screenshot of the drop down and close app button, but no minimize.

Hi!

How do I get the sidebar (with vertical tabs) to be expanded whenever I open a new window of firefox? Despite always opening it, whenever I open a new firefox window, it is collapsed.

I'm using version 149.0 (64-bit) from the Fedora repositories.

Thanks!

On Debian Linux, how can I make all text in Firefox BOLD - t'ab names, texts on Toolbars, text on web pages, everything?

I really enjoy using the recently added sidebar, but I want to put it away temporarily while watching videos. After some digging around, I finally found the simple keybind for expanding it (ctrl-alt-z). With the 'hide tabs and sidebar' option toggled, I'm able to open and close it at will, which is exactly what I wanted.

However, whenever I do this, the sidebar snaps to what I assume is its default size (picture 1). I usually use it at minimum size (picture 2,) such that only the icon of each tab shows. I tried to readjust it, but it seems to not snap to this size anymore unless I disable 'Hide Tabs and Sidebar.'

For now, I'm just going to temporarily toggle that setting on when I want it out of the way, and manually fix things later. But, is there a way I can have the best of both worlds? Can I make the 'default' the sidebar snaps to the minimum size I usually use from Picture 2?

Thank you in advance.
