I want to change text encoding so it defaults to Unicode. If I use the [alt] key then the View tab I can change it from Western but it reverts back after closing the page. Sometimes that does not work because the Text Encoding option in the View tab is greyed out. The About Firefox window says I am up to date with 83.0 (64bit).

How can I do keyboard shortcut, "Text encoding options", then "Unicode". I have it on toolbars. Like on screnshot, I pint mouse, then I need to select Unicode, which is bothering. I am opening many many pages, which are always different than unicode.

Hi All, I use Get Pocket - a lot! Before the last couple updates the normal bookmark icon - would click on that and there would be a link to Get Pocket list. That has now disappeared. The only way I can find to see the list, is click on the "save to pocket" icon, whereby it then saves the page I am on, although I don't want to save the page, and it also has a link to view the list. So have to click on that, then delete the page just saved. All so ridiculous. I must be missing something here. The update before this, was the same and I reverted back to an older version of Firefox. Thought would try this latest update, but no ... the pocket list link inside the bookmarks icon is not there.

How can I get to view pocket list without having to first save the page I am on, then delete it? What am I missing. I attach three images. One of how I used to use the Get Pocket list .. i.e. using the bookmark icon. Then what the book mark icon shows now .. no pocket list ... and the only way I have found to view the list, but saving a page first :) ..... Thanks for any advice.

The most recent update seems to have changed something I can't figure out how to change back myself.

When I start a search in the Firefox search engine box (the one in the middle of the screen), the text is instead entered in the address bar at the top. The search still performs the same but it is more of an aesthetic preference. Is there an option I am overlooking that enables the search text to appear in the search engine box, rather than in the address bar?

I did try disabling the address bar but that just stopped the search function from working.

WIth the newest update, everytime I try to click on the Google search bar to search something, it automatically puts me into the url bar search, rendering the Google search bar unusable. Is there any way I can revert this to how it was previously?

For the last 1-2 weeks I've been having a problem with you tube. As you can see from the attached screen shot all the images are not loading. Sometimes I can get the images to load by reloading the screen. I'm not having this problem with any other browser. Cookies and cache are cleaned several times a day. I look forward to anyone's comments. Thanks

wyszukiwarka, np. google, w pasku adresu powoduje trudność w wyszukiwaniu. pasek adresu powinien być tak jak w innych tego typu programach (np. Opera) tylko dla adresów www. ponadto małe literki w pasku adresu powodują że nie widzę co wpisuję. chciałbym by wyszukiwarka google dostępna była tylko na środku ekranu i nigdzie indziej. czy można usunąć tę funkcje z pasku adresu

FF89 has moved tabs to the top of the window, above the address bar. I'd like them back where they were, below the shortcut bar.

I appreciate help, but also, please provide clear instructions for someone that is NOT a FF dev, don't just say "update your css". I'm unable to find userchrome.css it doesn't appear to exist in this version.

If possible, a simple, non Dev approach would be appreciated, such as Settings > Tabs > tick box "Tabs under shortcut bar".

For anyone working on FF development, this is the sort of thing that a lot of users would like to customize, so this setting should be in Settings and it should not be changed from what users had already set.

Thanks for your help.

This is ridiculous. I didn't ask for this change and the least you could do is give me some kind of toggle in the options! If this isn't fixed within the week I'm removing the browser from every device at home and work.

Using WindowsOS. Firefox is only browser used. Yesterday while shopping Amazon, I "closed" bookmarks (displayed on L side of homepage. After closing Amazon, not only was bookmarks gone, but my Firefox homepage never returned. Tried "restore" options; tried to "refresh" Firefox to initial install. Nothing works. Can someone guide this digitally compromised Firefox user?

I'm running Firefox with Win7x86 on a Biostar desktop I5 motherboard. All was fine until the latest Firefox update 88. or 89. when the bookmarks (star with a pan underneath) drop down list became doublespaced. I would like to get back to single spacing -- too much vertical slider activity.

Version 89 doesn't honor the Windows 10 accent color that I have set in order to clearly see which of my many windows is in focus.

Also, the tabs are now optically separated from the respective pages.

Can I customize FF to get the previous design back? Maybe with a user css? I'm not familiar with the intricacies of those custom settings.

For now, I went back to 88. I need that focus clarity.

It's all in the title. The "quick searches" feature that pops up when I highlight text is a lot more annoying then useful, so I turned it off... and it seems to re-enable itself randomly. One time I disabled it, and after 5 seconds, it re-enabled itself. So annoying. I've made so many accidental searches with that stupid feature. I mean, how many people copy text just to search it up? Even then, they can highlight the text, right click, then click "Search (engline) for (text)".

The point being, the feature is re-enabling itself randomly, and it's getting on my nerves.

I don't see any option within the settings to turn it off. Any ideas?

Thanks,

The recent update to the Firefox browser on my Mac now defaults to the search bar at the top of the page as I type and provides a stream of unhelpful suggestions. Previously I was able to type in what I was looking for in the Firefox search bar in the middle of the screen unhindered until I had completed the sentence and then press search. I would like to reset it back to that. I have tried to change it via Preferences but it didn't work. Thanks for any help. Trekker.

Hi,

I've just discovered that the "compact" layout has been removed from Firefox version 89.

On top of that it look slike custom css is no more supoprted either.

Is there hope to get the compact layout back ? Where should we upvote for feature requests or the like ?

I have selected the Firefox Alpenglow Theme (see attached). But if I close Firefox and then re-open Firefox, it reverts back to the 2nd attachment titled "New Firefox". I've tried using a different them, the same thing happens.

How can I keep the theme I want even when I close the browser and reopen it later?
