bold text I have been given a new firefox and this is so far out of what i need that i am about ready to call it quits -- where is my toolbar? All i have is some bookmark nonsense that has nothing to do with me or what i search for --

whenever I switch between applications the menu bar will toggle itself on when I switch back to fire fox before immediately going away after clicking anything in a tab. this is really annoying and nothing I have tried to keep it disabled has worked. its honestly very frustrating. pressing alt does nothing, turning it off manually does nothing because it turns back on and then off when I switch applications. turning off different extensions does nothing either.

popped up after an update, not only is it slightly distracting but also annoying as now when i try to pick up or select a tab by putting my mouse at the top of the screen it does nothing, as i select the useless black bar instead

This concerns the display of bookmarksto the the left of the main display. Fot the record, this is installed om Magea Linux, vers 9, from the OS repository, and is Firefox vers 140.4.0esr ( 64-bit). Up until recently the display was variable in width, and once the box for 'show bookarks' was ticked, the bookmarks display opened in any new ;Firefox' brought up. With the two new features, I have a pair of niggles. One, is that the new sidebar, being fixed width, cannot be reduced. Taking up more screen 'Real Estate', that I consider would be better utilised for the main panel. The other niggle, is that ticking 'Show bookmarks' is not permanent and has to be re-ticked, for any new Firefox' display. I have another machine running the same version of Mageia. I opened this today, and it, while still showing the same version of Firefox, displays the old version. Perhaps, since the Mageia support section have not yet.sent a prompt for update. My query, is. Is it possible for me to return to the old style display, or is there a setting that will do so. The new display, having several options, is possibly an advance. But, for me, bookmarks display is paramount.

recently Firefox has started leaving a small gap at the top of the window with the desktop background (the light blue in the screenshot) is visible when the window is maximized.

This issue doesn't occur with any other program and occurs in troubleshoot mode.

Every time I go to use programs on my computer while on a Firefox session, when I return to Firefox, the menu that appears when I'd typically press the Alt key drops down. Every time. The only way I can get it to stop is by exiting out of the session entirely and reopening it. There is no option on my Firefox settings that can help me disable the action.

I have not installed or changed anything in my settings, it began happening suddenly, and has become an interruption in my workflow. Any ideas on what might have caused or what I can do to fix it?

So within the last couple of days Firefox has started toggling the menu bar even though I have it disabled/hidden. If I were to click off of the browser to check Discord for example, it pops up when I click back on and literally moves stuff down--which makes it annoying if I try to click back on to enter a web address.

Anyone else having this problem?

When I open Firefox, since last upgrade 13-november-2025(version 145.0) it's always in full screen ! I hate this configuration and I want to come back to the previous "normal" starting configuration. Everytime I open Firefox I must do "F11" now. How can I do ?

Fedora 42 x86_64, firefox 145.0

Using FontForge, I created a custom Unicode (NO 8-bit pi encoded) version of the Symbol typeface with a new font-family name.

One of the customizations, the serif versions of the "Registered Sign", "Copyright Sign", and "Trademark Sign" are available by the official Unicode codepoint. The sans-serif versions are available by the official Unicode codepoint *directly* followed by U+200B (Zero Width Space - ZWSP).

This is done with the OpenType contextual alternative feature (calt).

It works in the FontForge metrics test window and it works in Chromium and derivatives but it does not work in FireFox - either the Fedora 42 build or the generic x86_64 build from Mozilla.

I tried the CSS setting:

body { font-feature-settings: "calt" on; }

No dice. I believe that's the right CSS setting because if I change the "on" to "off" then it no longer works in chromium and derivatives, so that does seem to the be the CSS setting that controls whether or not the feature is enabled.

All my searches on the web seem to indicate the FireFox supports calt however all the examples I see are related to swashes which are enabled/disabled by a different CSS setting.

I did see some indication that some apps only allow calt for certain language scripts, typically Arabic and/or Greek and/or Latin and perhaps these legal glyphs aren't considered one of those scripts?

Does anyone know why the calt works elsewhere and not in FireFox? Yes, I tried without any extensions or plugins enabled.

Hello! I am running firefox and had an issue with the URL bar. Before, the URL bar was at the top and right underneath it would appear the open tabs; underneath that were my bookmarks. I don't know what I pressed, but now, the tabs and bookmarks are on top (on the same line), and the URL bar is underneath that -- see screenshot for details. It is a small issue, but it is driving me crazy, since all my mucle memory on where to click etc. is gone. Furthermore, the bookmarks now crowd the open tabs, so if I have a lot of open tabs, I cannot see them all at a glance.

I tried looking for settings, but all settings for customizing the toolbar are about adding items to the URL bar, not switching the position of URL bar and the open tabs. How do I fix this?

The update to v145 completely changed how background color and highlighting of HTML emails are displayed. It was nicer before. Can someone please share which setting in about:config to change to return to HTML display in previous versions?

Thanks!
