Firefox supportforum

Firefox appears to have just updated. Now my bookmarks list is so long I have to scroll down to see everything. It looks like everything has been spaced out further, which I hate. It takes up was too much space. They were probably going for a more elegant, less cluttered look, but it just ended up making things more aggravating for me. There should be a way to adjust or turn off the spacing feature. Any suggestions?

Currently on Firefox Developer Edition 89.0b2, clicking menu > Help > Submit Feedback, takes me here: https://mozilla.github.io/imo-placeholder/

It's a blank "Coming Soon" page with no information.

I'm experiencing usability problems with the new theme and I'd like to share what I'm experiencing.

First of all: I tried to "give feedback" first, by going to that crowdicity website. I had to create an account, then I created an "idea" but it wasn't even allowed by the mods.

The 89 design is not user friendly, it takes away too much of my screen. I want to see the website, not some bloated tabs. And what on earth is meant by unsupported in the customize menu when I try to select compact? I always recommendet Firefox, among my friends and family as well as among my customers. Since day 1 I was with you, but this is just the absolute opposite of user friendliness. Even Microsoft Edge shows more of the actual website, I'm trying to look at. No "unsupported" compact mode needed, it is already even less obstrusive than that.

There were so many users who begged you not to do this. But you didn't listen. I want to be nice and kind but you gotta listen to your users, not just rely on your telemetry data. If someone chooses to install Firefox, a lot of people have the ability and knowledge to turn off that stuff. Those are your most loyal users. Listen to them.

The menu (Bokmarks )has become too large a distance between the lines. Now the menus are getting way too long. Hard to read links and hard to find! Why this completely idiotic design change?

The change in the appearance of the tabs is also strange!

Is it possible to change back to the usual menu line spacing ???

Hi,

in the latest version of Firefox (updated June 2021), the home page had the icons shrink in size considerably.

I'm visually impaired, and this change had made the home page unusable. It's just too hard to see!

Is there a setting to adjust the homepage icons back to their larger size? They used to be 2-3 times the size, and really useful. The boxes the pics are in are still the same, but the icons displayed are tiny now, at least to these tired old eyes.

Thank you in advance! Tony

hi =)

So what hapened?

Now there is a huge white bar up top with my open tabs.

I prefer it how it was in v88

How do I get it to look like it was before the update?

Thanks)

(it really is terrible now, and while i always promoted FF to whoever, I think this unwanted change makes me want to look elsewhere, sadly)

to keep things short im trying o find a way to revert to before the most recent update (89.0), the new layout and organization changes are more or less causing no end of issues for me both in function and causing my anxiety issues to spike from everything being unfamiliar and i need to find a way to revert.

Hi A recent update has spaced out my bookmarks to the point where it takes me an infuriatingly long time to scroll down to the website that I want to visit. How do I give feedback to firefox and how do I sort this out, please?

I am really really angry at this new update. It is the worst update I can remember. It cannot be more user unfriendly. It is complicated and confusing. A person has to go to IT school to take a course on how to use it. It is made for IT trained people. Not lay people. I am irate. I am outraged. This update is crazy! Nothing is simple! What percentage of users can understand or figure all this out? Or who has all the time necessary to figure it out? Answer: An extremely low percentage of users!

The first thing I noticed this morning, when I went to use ff, is the "Restore previous session" was gone. To me, this is the most important feature of a browser, and it is gone!

I normally have over a 100 tabs on the go.

This makes me so mad, I could wring someone's neck! I am boiling mad! This is the worst update ever! I can't do anything now!

And I am told to be nice!?!? That is BS!

I did not cause the problem!

It is even complicated to make a complaint, to give feedback. I do not want to complain to the community. I want to make a complaint to the developers. The people responsible for developing this new update.

The developers heads went into the sky and lost contact with simplicity and common sense. Lost contact with reality.

I do not have time for this crap!

This new generation of developers have their heads screwed on wrong, and need to get them screwed on right. You need to get down to earth and find and use common sense. Keep it simple!

Please get the "Restore previous session" replaced immediately.

FF is no good to me, without it!

And restore the simple "give feedback"

Don't blame me for this submission!

DuckDuckGo is my default search engine. When I open a new tab a DuckDuckGo search box comes up as part of the new tab layout.

After I upgraded to 89.0 I find that if I enter text into the DuckDuckGo search box the text automatically switches into the address bar and looks through the URL history instead of being entered into the DuckDuckGo search box. I can't use the DuckDuckGo search box at all, I can only choose a search option that (sometimes) comes up in the address bar instead.

Is this supposed to work like this? It's very inefficient.

``` /* //# Items padding */ menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu { padding-block: 1px !important; } ``` has different results for this about:config setting .

I can ``` @media (-moz-proton) { menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu { padding-block: 4px !important; } } ``` , but this works only if browser.proton.enabled is true that adds some changes i don't want .

How would it be possible to define different values to apply depending on browser.proton.contextmenus.enabled state ?

Is there some way to reduce the white space / padding between bookmark and menu items in the new Proton interface introduced in Firefox 89? I don't have a touchscreen and all the extra white space just means more scrolling to navigate through my bookmarks.

The AskVG site has a 02-June-2021 article at https://www.askvg.com/tip-restore-old-classic-theme-and-ui-in-firefox-89-and-later-versions/ that explains how to disable all the new Proton interface changes in about:config, but is there one specific hidden preference / flag (e.g., browser.proton.toolbar.version) mentioned in that article that controls the spacing between bookmarks and menu items?

There is a also a companion article on AskVG titled https://www.askvg.com/tip-restore-compact-mode-density-option-in-firefox-customize-window/ with instructions on how to change two Density options (browser.compactmode.show and browser.uidensity) in about:config, but I have no idea if changing my density setting to "Compact" would actually decrease white space (padding) between bookmark and menu items.

In the latest update (89.0) the size of the font in drop-down menus has increased. When I go to my book marks the number that show on the screen has decreased by 28% which means a lot more scrolling. The original font size was very read able so why change. The question is, how can I reset the font size back to the original size? Geoff

How can I restore my Firefox home page in Firefox 89 to look like it did in Firefox 88;

The icons are smaller now, with a lot of wasted white space within the icon. I'm older, and need the icons larger.

Is there a way to easily modify the right click menu when clicking a tab because 'Reload Tab' use to be on the top of the list when you would right click on a tab, now the top option is 'New Tab' and theirs the '+' on the right of the tab on the right so it also seems a little redundant to have it top of the right click list. Also Reload Tab seems more useful than the New Tab. So is there a way to easily modify that menu to get Reload Tab back to the top?
