I do not and will not use the sidebar/vertical tabs features.

Unfortunately, it seems that firefox has decided to reactivate these features with an update? This is unacceptable. I do not want my settings to be altered with a software update. If firefox wants to tell me about a new feature, feel free to make a dialogue bubble pop up (once) asking if I'd like to explore said new features. Otherwise, please refrain from altering my preferred configuration without permission or notification. Doing so is completely asinine at best and shows open contempt for your customer base at worst.

I do not wish to give mozilla/firefox another opportunity to make my experience worse, thusly I ask: Is there anyway to entirely remove/disable the sidebar/vertical tabs feature from the browser so that it cannot be reactivated without the specific actions of the user?

On various websites with embedded podcasts, when the file goes past 1h the volume 'slider' goes away and becomes a basic mute/unmute button. How can i force Firefox to always display the volume slider?

When I launch the browser, can I not preload tabs that I have not used yet in this session, but which are open from the previous one? This is slowing down my weak PC. I did not find anything about this either on the Internet or in the reference book. Thanks in advance for your answer

I tried to add the roboform browser extension twice and I get the following message (the second time was from the Roboform homepage):

I'm currently on Firefox Nightly on desktop running the latest version. I wanted to know how to turn my Firefox Tools icons back from just having icons at the bottom to the list of icons with their names like before. I've attached both images, one from another computer running an older version of nightly which is what I want to return back to.

If there isn't a way to change it back, I would like to suggest this as an option to be able to easily turn back to a list type.

bold text I did something that made my FoxFire window cover 1/3 of the total window on my MacBook Air. It used to cover everything except the bottom and top bar. How do I get it back?

As the title says, firefox keeps reenabling delete browser history when firefox closes on its own. After an update yesterday it seems to have reenabled it AGAIN. Back in May near the end of it it also reenabled itself and deleted years of firefox history out of nowhere and I never knew it did so until the next morning when I went to go to a specific part of a site I frequent only to find when typing out the keywords to it, didn't exist.

Found it reenabled itself on its own. Disabled that, and got some semblance of my history remembered again into the system. Made a backup copy of history to some degree into a copy of the places.sqlite file. Yesterday firefox updated again. Closed it last night when i shut off my PC to go to bed and this morning when I opened firefox, I find all my history is gone AGAIN. See delete history when firefox closes is reenabled once more on its own without my permission barely 3 weeks later. I then try to input the backup places.sqlite i made a few weeks ago as well and it gets overwritten by an empty one after I input it back in and open firefox.

I've tried searching for why and how this keeps happening. But every time you search anything on this topic its nothing BUT how to ENABLE the setting, nothing about it auto reenabling and how to stop it or what could be causing it. Web searches are legitimately 0% useful because its just nothing but one sided search results repeating the same thing ad nauseam.

I'm using Firefox-bin on Gentoo, wayland, and for a long time with all updates on my main firefox profile smooth scrolling can not be disabled: Both UI settings called "Use smooth scrolling" and manually setting general.smoothScroll on false - does nothing. Setting general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel on false actually disables smooth scrolling for mouse wheel, but smooth scrolling still happens on keyboard scrolling (holding up or down arrows).

On same browser I have two different profiles: On one of them smooth scrolling were disabled long ago On another one I successfully disabled smooth scrolling this day (it's some default one that I haven't used)

There are no extensions that could override this and I tried disabling them and rebooting and trying again too. I haven't touched any other scrolling relating options except enabled "autoscroll" and tried disabling apz.gtk.kinetic_scroll.enabled but it made no difference.

I found only few entries that describes same thing from long ago but they seem to not be applicable to this one. This bug is only mildly annoying because I rarely use keyboard scrolling and general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel = false already solved half of issue but I'm worried a little if something is wrong
