Hello! After the recent Firefox update, there’s no longer a home button in the task bar. Is there a setting on the iOS app to get this back? I miss having the ease to change a page immediately to my home page, without having to open a new tab and close the old one. Thanks!

A little square used to pop up when I clicked on the searchbar on my iPhone, but it seems to have stopped doing this with the latest release. Can anyone please help me find it, or if it has gone, then please confirm to me?
I can still open QR codes by opening the Camera App first, but the Firefox QR code reader was always easier to use, and I just like it more!
All the firefox shortcut icons on my desktop have lost their images. Acess to relavent pages still works but no 'pictures'

After my bitwarden add-on failed me, I remembered ChatGPT helping me with this another time - but I got it wrong. I right clicked the extensions button (I have 3 add-ons falling under that button) and removed from tool bar, thinking I could then reinstall it and the Bitwarden issue would rectify.
Instead, the extension icon disappeared, and is nowhere to be located. ChatGPT wants to do some reconfiguring but surely there's a better way. I have looked in "customise toolbar" (ie, right click toolbar, click customise toolbar and look for the icon" - but the puzzle piece icon is not there.
Surely I have hidden the puzzle piece icon somehow and I need to do some sort of magic to make it reappear... Have never had this issue with Firefox previously.

Hi All,
I was using the following CSS to hide the navigation images and show only text labels on the context menu for the Back, Forward, Reload and Bookmark Page menu options...
/* Content Area Context Menu - Navigation Vertical Text */
#context-navigation,
#context-navigation > menuitem{
flex-direction: column !important;
}
/* hide images */
#context-back image, #context-forward image,
#context-reload image, #context-stop image,
#context-bookmarkpage image{
display: none !important;
}
/* show text labels */
#context-back:after, #context-forward:after,
#context-reload:after, #context-stop:after,
#context-bookmarkpage:after{
content: attr(aria-label) !important;
margin-inline-start: -19px !important; /* this pushes navigation text items to left, aligned with other menu items below */
}
It worked up until a couple of versions ago, but something has changed, and my CSS is now broken, and those navigation icons are back.
My context menu now looks like the attached image below.
Any help with showing only text labels on this menu is appreciated.
Thanks.

How in the heck do you increase the size of the UI font? I have a 1440P monitor and the TINY size of the UI font makes it nearly impossible to read the text on the menu buttons, I have lean forward and squint to read it because they are so damn small. I can't find anything in the settings to make the UI text larger. It is as if some dummy hard coded the UI font size so it's impossible for the average person to find out how to change it. It makes no sense whatsoever.
And please don't tell me to increase the zoom in the Windows settings, because that screws up EVERYTHING else...
Another thing that is driving me crazy is how do you set it so that scrolling with the mouse wheel is smooth and not jerky? When i scroll with the mouse wheel, instead of smoothly moving the page up or down, it JERKS a couple of lines at a time. This is the only browser that it does that in. I have smooth scrolling ON in the mouse settings on my computer but for some reason, only Firefox is doing this.

Hello,
In the latest update I got it made everything into rounded corners. The Tabs and Settings windows as an example. How do I undo that?
I checked thoroughly in the appearance settings and dont see a way to do that. I specifically switched my entire world over to Firefox to get out of the rounded corner UI world only in time for this switch to happen. How do i undo it?
How do I move my bookmarks sidebar from the right side of my screen to the left side?
The new menu doesn't have an option to create a new tab and it also looks worse

After years of hoping for a dedicated new tab button in Firefox for iOS, my wishes were answered this morning when I installed the Firefox 140.2 on iOS. As explained in the release notes, there is "a sleeker, more intuitive Toolbar and Tab Tray — with smoother animations, simplified controls, and a modern look that feels right at home on iOS." What's more, it replaced the (IMO) useless "home" button with a BEAUTIFUL one-tap new tab button! I was overjoyed!
However, a few hours later, my Firefox UI has reverted back to the old way. It still claims to be on version 140.2, so I don't understand how that happened. As far as I can tell, there are no options within settings to get the new UI.
What happened, and how can I take advantage of the new UI?
Was the built-in qr scanner removed? I am on Firefox 140.2 (57462).
The firefox app on android changes its theme (dark/light mode) the second time I open the app.

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. 😅

After tinkering with about:config (shouldn't have...) the background of every page that does not specify a body background color turns the color of my theme background color.
Using the firefox color pipette says its white, but it clearly isn't.
The theme i have is dark, making any page that expects the background to be white unreadable (without DevTools -> Body -> background-color: white)
I haven't been able to find the config that fixes it.

My Firefox automatically updated and the new version is not suited for me. The change of the buttons and the inactive tabs opening was bad. Now my tabs feel too full and messy, but the inactive tabs made it so I didn’t lose anything. Overall the update changed too much and I don’t like it.
