Firefox Community Forum

Hello, when many tabs are open, the mute button takes up almost the entire tab. When I go to a tab, I get to the mute button... https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2025-03-01-03-07-42-491a45.png Is it possible to remove this function on the tab, but leave the sound icon itself? So that when I click on the sound icon, the tab is switched to instead of mute?

When attempting to print a report from a website, I received this notice:

"For best print result; please enable the "Print background colors and graphics" option in your browser."

I haven't found a setting for this, Is there a setting for this?

Thank you

Hi,

I recently set a custom background image for the Firefox new tab page (and possibly the homepage), but now I’d like to remove or replace it.

I’ve already tried:

   Going to about:config and enabling the following:

       browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.customWallpaper.enabled → true

       browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.ui.enabled → true

   Searching for a gear icon or any UI options on the new tab or homepage – but nothing appears.

I also checked about:preferences#home but there are no visible options to manage background images.

How can I remove or change the custom background image? I’d appreciate instructions, config paths, or a file location where I can delete the image manually.

Thank you! p.s. I'm stuck with a background image that makes my shortcuts unreadable and it's driving me crazy. 😅

I now have a visible sidebar, after installing the latest update. The 'help' section says to click on the 'settings' icon in the sidebar. I have no buttons, at all, in the sidebar. It is blank white. How do I remove this thing?

According to Mozilla and all other online instructions for changing Firefox wallpaper, one must click on the Settings icon (pinwheel) in the upper right corner of a new tab. There is no such icon anywhere on the new tab screen. There is no wallpaper to select under the Settings menu (three dashes) in the top right hand corner. I have the latest version of Firefox. What version are these instructions for? And how does one change the Firefox wallpaper? Firefox is my default browser in Ubuntu 2204 LTS.

Just recently, the Bookmarks sidebar quit appearing automatically when I opened Firefox. In each new window, it can be selected manually.

I posted this thread under "Privacy and Security" because other threads on the Internet (some quite old) say this issue can be fixed by changing the Browsing history settings. I tried that, but got a strange result: the Bookmarks sidebar did appear automatically, but the webpage I was on would not display any images embedded in the page. And then I wondered: why must I eliminate Browsing History just to automatically display my bookmarks?

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Please tell me whether I need to a)uninstall/reinstall Firefox OR if there is a setting somewhere that I need to use to correct this problem. I usually use Arial variations and need at least 14 for font size. My settings are always the same. My machine is a Lenovo ThinkPad and the OS is Windows 11. I have four bars at the top of the screen, File/Edit, below that tabs, below that the search bar, and below that bookmarks. Before yesterday everything was the correct size for my vision. Please tell me how to fix this. Thank you. Jody Gruber Alexandria VA

Description: Intermittent black or white blocks partially covering parts of the image, this problem disappears when you open the same webpage in troubleshoot mode. Steps to Reproduce: This problem I have is when i open an image inside a website I am subscribed too. It first occured about three weeks ago, I tried all the available cleaning tools cache etc to try to resolve this issue. As none of that worked and I had the computer quite a while, I decided to do a complete new Windows installation but the problem was still there. This problem occurs in The British Newspaper Archive website, Newspapers At Ancestry website and Ancestry.co.uk, this problem does not occur using any other browers. I can open the same webpage in both Windows Edge and Duck Duck Go browsers and the issue is not there. So, that suggests to me that the issue is in the Firefox Browser itself. I have tried opening the webpage in the Firefox troubleshoot mode, and the issue then disappears, but then as I re-open Firefox normally, the issue returns. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me to resolve this issue. Thanks.

when we set the default zoom some percentage e.g. 80% in settings> the zoom level of the toolbar/ addons/ extensions is not set to 80% also there is no option to set the zoom for particular sections such as zoom for the system toolbar, pages, side menu, address bar. The main issue is when the default is decreased> the zoom in the addons/ extensions remains still at 100% which pop-ups on the screen and the addons/ extensions settings cannot be accessed due to zoom in on the panel (it happens when scaling of the windows in set to high percentage such as 130%) so the Firefox zooms in at 130% by default (considering it as 100% in firefox)> and decreasing zoom to 80% (to get 100% zoom from 130% in firefox) so it doesn't work> u understand> what is the solution tell quickly. I have tried to set the compatibility Troubleshoot and override the system Scaling in Program settings. It also doesn't work. Tell me the solution soon.

I am using Linux Mint in Dark Mode. Most emails which come through are easily read in the panel. See attached.

But others are practically unreadable in Dark Mode. See attached.

How do I adjust the settings so that the unreadable ones become readable in the panel. Thank you in advance or any help.

I am using Fedora 41 on a Dell 7750 laptop and your browser (latest update). I have it set to Dark Mode Theme within Your settings.

When typing comments in YouTube comment section under videos, the text is BLACK and cannot see what the FREAK I am trying to type. I have to highlight the text to see where I'm at and if it is all good to submit.

I really do not like the new menu / toolbar in firefox nightly. I guess I hadn't really noticed the changes until now. But it takes up half the page of my browser. Who thought this was a good idea? - to put it smack dab in the middle of the page?! Not me, that is for sure! Ok. So can we see a normal toolbar/ menu bar/ and optional toolbar at the top of the page, please? I like things the way they were. With various options to add buttons and pages or things that we need?? My toolbars were stacked appropriately in roles, with everything I needed on them. And they were always in the same place. Not moving around like toys on the floor. Please, please bring back the old toolbars for this old cranky punk chick. Thanks!! Love Firefox, stop messing with it. 💗💗💗😸😸
