MY FF recently updated to version 1380.1 (64bits) and my Sidebar Bookmarks are gone. That is I have to manually put them back every time I now start FF. I want them to always show when I start FF. When I need extra screen space, I would click the X and they'd disappear for that session. And when I was done, I'd click on View - Bookmarks they'd be reinstalled. And when I shut FF down and returned later, they'd be right there where I need them.

My question is, how do I get back to that setup?

I want to turn off a recently added search bar icon in the new version of the newest version of firefox ? I only use google and don't have other search functions enabled but i dont like seeing this icon that suddenly appeared without warning ?

It is too distracting.

I tried to do the fix using userChrome.css but it just didn't work. Am I doing something wrong?

Also the fullscreen animation fix using the about:config settings doesn't work either.

Thanks in advance :3

Hi everyone!

Since last update (136?) when I open a page with a video in a new tab, the width of this tab is very small! Almost half my current tab.

(I don't have another example but does this have anything to do with any "media" on a page?)

I have the width set to 152 for years...

When I play a video, the current tab is reduced. Pause= normal tab. Play= small tab. Pause= normal tab...

"browser.tabs.tabMinWidth should have been adhered to."

I just completely reinstalled Firefox: still the same.

What can I do, please?

Hello all,

Ever since an update to Firefox from a few weeks ago, I have been having issues with white backgrounds displaying incorrectly in Firefox. I have attached two identical images from the NYT homepage: the first is a screenshot from Chrome and the second is the same exact image but taken from Firefox.

I have also attached another screenshot taken in Firefox from REI.com. You'll see that it's not necessarily just a white background that is causing the weird blue color. It also happens in products images being displayed incorrectly.

I figured this might be a Firefox website appearance setting, but I have played around with it and selected many different permutations and I haven't been able to solve this issue. I have also tried refreshing Firefox, using Firefox in Safemode, disabling all of my plugins/themes, etc. and nothing was fixed.

I am pretty sure this isn't a system wide issue or a monitor issue because these websites are being displayed 100% correct in Chrome and Edge. This is only an issue in Firefox.

Can someone advise?

Thanks,

DC

I left my computer for a while, and when I returned and took it off screensaver I started going through my emails when I noticed that the bookmarks on the toolbar are missing. The toolbar is present, and I toggled between only show on new tab, never show and always show a few times, but they're still missing. I even tried bookmarking two webpages, but they were not added to the toolbar. As stated, I have the bookmark toolbar to always show. Firefox just updated yesterday, 4/8/25 to 130.1.0, and I'm pretty sure that they were there this morning, but I can't be totally sure. I noticed my computer had updates available, so knowing updating it would not have any effect on Firefox, I restarted the computer while updating so I could also restart Firefox with a bit of a delay. I had also restarted it twice before without any luck. The only thing I did besides updating Firefox was enabled the sidebar, which I then turned off and still did not have any bookmarks in the toolbar. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, but I may not be able to view and any responses or make the stated changes until Friday.

how do I change weather widget position to left side of Firefox homepage? It was always on the left side and I ran an update this morning and now it is on the right.

Hello Since few weeks (maybe on firefox 132 already, but surely on firefox 133) I observe issue with my firefox UI. While grabbing and holding tab (to change its position, move it on bar), whole tab bar gets thinner which realigns my whole UI. Issue is probably caused by my custom userchrome.css but I need it in current or similar form. Maybe there is some css specialist who can help me remove unnecessary parts of code?

My css is as follows:

.tab-background{ border-radius: 0px 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; } .tabbrowser-tab:not([selected=true]):not([multiselected=true]) .tab-background{ background-color: color-mix(in srgb, currentColor 4%, transparent); } menupopup > menu, menupopup > menuitem{ padding-block: 3px !important; min-height: 0px !important; }

root{

--arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 2px !important; }

Good day everyone,

I have been breaking my head over this for about a week. After the last update that was installed, now my tab width is smaller than the minimum width I have set them to. However, this only happens with active tabs from pages that have an embedded video. At first I thought this was just a thing with YouTube, but it seems it also happens with other video sites. I guess it may be related to whenever the playback button displays in the tab title and it detects there is video content.

I would like to know how to fix this behavior so that my tabs are no longer shortened beyond the minimum width setting.

Thank you in advance.

Since the last update, my bookmarks sidebar does not open automatically when I open Firefox. A minor annoyance, perhaps, but an annoyance nonetheless, especially since it used to work until Firefox monkeyed around with it unnecessarily.

Every help I've found gives the same answer: Make sure the Bookmarks Toolbar is checked "Always Show." Well, it is checked, it was never unchecked, except that I tried unchecking and rechecking it in the vain hope that it would jumpstart something.

Is there any way to fix this? Or is it cursed forever?

Does the recent update Firefox 137.0 retain the separate address bar and search bar? One of the things I hate about MS Edge is that there is no separate search bar. Have not been pleased about the small size of the Firefox search bar the last few years. The user should be able to size it at will.

I would like to swap the order of the first 2 items on the Bookmarks Context Menu - that is "Open in New Tab" should be second, and "Open in New Window" should be first.

I'm able to do this on the "regular" context menu with the following code...

#context-openlink { 
   order: -1;
}

But I cannot find the correct selector for the Bookmarks Context menu (see attached image).

I have tried code (to no avail) such as the following...

#placesContext-openlink { 
   order: -1;
}

#BMB_bookmarksPopup-openlink { 
   order: -1;
}

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

Until recently (like last week-ish) My Bookmarks Sidebar ONLY showed bookmarks. NOW, within the past few days the "bookmarks tools column" has been added to the screen-view. I have removed the 'tools' but the 'blank column' remains and takes up noticeable space on my laptop screen. How can I remove that 'column' ? Was this caused by a recent firefox update OR a win-365 'auto-update' ? Attached pic of screen - Here at the LEFT side is the 'blank column' with the 'settings Gear' at the bottom of the column. That is the column I want to 'Remove'.

I want my bookmarks toolbar to be across the top of the page but I can only find it from the 3 bars at the top right of the screen. When I click on it, I am given the option to hide the toolbar, but it's already hidden. I have also navigated from the View menu as well, and the toolbar is set on Always Show. I have run out of things to try. I am on a laptop with Microsoft Windows. Can someone offer assistance?

With the last couple of updates to Firefox (now running v133) on Windows 10 I noticed that there is a new search bar that overwrites the tabs on top of the Firefox window when I click into the URL bar, which is set up to be used for search. This began to happen recently but I'd like to know how to configure Firefox to do search like it used to, in the URL bar not a new search bar, and disable this new search bar that disorients me when it pops up and disappears.

I mean, the tabs size are already bothersome that if you have multiple tabs open it's annoying you can't read the title of the page on that tab. So, you change it manually to size 200 instead of fabricated install as 76.

Who makes sure to change these to different size?

Tab width size config browser.tabs.tabMinWidth

Now, on the latest version, it shrinks on multiple tabs.

WHO IS AUTHORIZING THE RELEASES? I MEAN, DO YOU INTENSIONALLY MAKE ERRORS AND RELEASE THEM?
