After an update for Firefox Developer Edition on Arch Linux (I don't know which), my URL bar doesn't show the selected text when typing or pressing Ctrl+A.

In the uploaded image, you can see i typed "e", but it doesn't highlight the entire en.wikipedia.org url. the second result still shows the e's in the URL bolded though.

I've tried disabling hardware acceleration, changing my GTK theme, and also changed my Firefox Theme, yet none work.

Two days ago I started my PC to discover a firefox update with an option to change my default firefox appearance by adding a wallpaper image. I have now decided that I want to remove that image, but I cannot find out how to do so.

I’ve been taking a look at the latest updates regarding the new Firefox design rolling out in Nightly, and while I appreciate the ongoing work and the return of features like Compact Mode, I wanted to share some thoughts from a user perspective, particularly regarding the aesthetic changes.

Personally, I’m not a big fan of heavily rounded edges across tabs and UI elements. For my workflow and visual preference, I much prefer a cleaner, sharper, and more traditional layout.

With these UI evolutions coming down the pipeline, it would be fantastic if Mozilla could provide a built-in option or setting to keep the current/classic style intact while still receiving all the important under-the-hood updates, security patches, and features. Giving users the flexibility to choose between the new design language and a more traditional layout would ensure everyone can tailor Firefox to their exact liking.

Would love to hear how others feel about the new look and whether a classic style toggle would be a welcome addition for you too!

Greetings. Been trying to enlarge the font size in the bars (title, menu, and tab) at top of Firefox. Have read many similiar complaints, but the answers don't relate to the problem. I can't find some of the options some suggest. I'm not blind (yet), but the type is so miniscule, I have difficulty reading it. I've uploaded a photo and a screenshot to hopefully clarify the problem. Check the difference in the bars compared to the page. I don't want 14 pt. type on the bars, but something better than the miniscule type. Thank you for any relevant assistance or advice.

1. My left-hand sidebar contained about 150 URL links, mostly not bookmarks. I have used this constantly for the last 10 years to access desired websites. 2. After installing 149.0.2 this sidebar with all links disappeared when Firefox was restarted. 3. I tried several suggested remedies such as changing profile or settings on General or Home tabs. None of these were successful. 4. I have seen a portion of my list twice, enough to believe the entire list is stored someplace. It displayed in a box on the Firefox page, but I cannot remember how I produced this list.

How do I get back to having a sidebar full of links?

Firefox popped up an offer to change the screen to dark, which I did. I don't like it, want to change it back. I went to settings but was unable to make the change.

Recently a "gear" icon has appeared on the bottom left of my screen while using Mozilla. It relates to moving the tabs. I don't want to do anything with my tabs. How can I get rid of the icon? The icon reduces the horizontal screen space available. I have a small laptop so this small amount of space is important.

Thanks for your help! Cindy

Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 and I've noticed about:privatebrowsing now has a very bright garish (subjective) purple background; I'd like to replace this with something else.

Here's what I've tried so far:

• Adding the css in this 2023 reddit post to my userchrome.css
• Fiddling with about:config, per Ty and James' replies in this similar 2022 question
• As a sanity check, directly editing the style element of the body tag in the inspector to check if `background-color: #424242` the css works. (obviously doesn't stick, see first point)
• As a second sanity check, changing the colour in the userchrome.css to fuchsia, as I'd read in older articles there'd sometimes be a flash of colour before something else was applied and bright pink is easier to see than grey
• Changing the Firefox theme from System theme (Auto) to Dark, Light, and then Firefox Alpenglow to see if that would change the background colour (it doesn't).

I do see that Alpenglow theme now matches about:privatebrowsing shockingly well, but it's not my preferred flavour of utilitarian blacks/dark greys.

Tried to show what I'm after, screenshot of about:privatebrowsing in a split view next to about:newtab. Other than above, the only other things in my userchrome.css are some styles to attempt to return curvy tabs edges.

The mouse cursor does not highlight text in the address bar. It is selecting the text but the blue 'select' highlight doesn't show so I'm working blind. Firefox 154.0b5 Build ID: 20260731090442 (64-bit) on Windows 11 Home 25H2. Build 26200.8875 Tested in troubleshoot mode - same issue.

No point adding screenshots to show an invisible select highlight.  :-)

Name Firefox Version 154.0b5 Build ID 20260731090442

Current behaviour in fullscreen mode: When I move my mouse to the top of the screen The tabs appear and the whole website content gets shifted down. It's ugly and distracting. Desired behaviour: The tabs appear as an overlay and part of the website content is hidden underneath them. No transitions.

What css js should I modify to achive this, any help? This prevents me from using firefox in fullscreen mode and saving space.

Why the h377 did firefox change the screen shot tool by removing it from the address bar AND delete the center search bar, along with changing the location of all my recent web visit from the along the bottom of the screen? This is annoying and unhelpful to pc users, I need these functions back like they were in order to us your site on my pc. I donot and will never use firefox on my phone. If these functions are gone, then I will have leave as well. Either that or remove the update from my pc and cease ALL further updates.

I have updated to the newest version of firefox, and cannot see the menu bar or search field. I can see everything in a restore down (smaller size window) but I cannot see anything in maximize view of the window....only happens with firefox....everything works chrome and edge. If I click on the white bar it minimizes the window.
