Hello, earlier in the day I pressed a keyboard shortcut on accident when picking up my keyboard and has changed google results quite dramatically. I grabbed my keyboard and had a menu pop up on the left side and after i closed it noticed my google results had a scroll bar now. The results page only presents itself on the left half of the screen and a scroll bar has appeared on both the right side, cutting off text, and bottom of the page. These scroll bars only move a tiny bit and are quite unnecessary, but makes scrolling a pain as I have to be sure I am outside the new scroll bar area as they take precedent from the main scroll bar. I have googled Firefox's keyboard shortcuts and haven't found the one i need to fix this. Before I'm asked, no I do not have crazy zoom on and no zooming in does not fix this problem.

Is it possible to click individual segments of an URL in the address bar to navigate there directly (without manually selecting and deleting the tail)? It's a convenient way to reach upper layers of a website.

For example Vivaldi implements it via Ctrl+<Mouseover/click> (see attached screen capture)

Is there an option or addon to enable this? Thanks in advance

After updating to v 133.0, when maximizing Firefox (not F11 fullscreen), a taskbar that is set to "auto-hide" will no longer unhide when mousing to the bottom of the screen. This did not occur with the previous version (132.0.2).

This behavior is also unaffected by the "devtools.toolbox.alwaysOnTop" setting in about:config as i've tried switching from the default "true" to "false".

I use Firefox with navigation bar hidden in Linux Web Apps (in Linux Mint > Web Apps :: where you can create apps from any web page). I particularly use Notion as an app. And recently, I guess with the new updates, there is showing an address bar where previously there was nothing. Is there a way to remove it?


Thanks for your help.

I feel like this has to have been asked and answered 1000 times already, but when I searched I could not find any answer links that matched my question.

There seem to be so many variables in adjusting down to a molecular level what gets shown and what gets suppressed by customizing Firefox CSS, or by using about:config . But at this point for me, I am really looking for a DEFAULT USAGE solution. I'm sure there is one and I just don't know it.

All I want is to be able to use and click Mac's built in UI "Green" button in the traffic-light UI element at the top-left corner of a window, and have the browser obey and: strip out or suppress all Firefox browser "chrome" elements such as tab bar, URL bar, bookmarks bar -- and show me the webpage I am looking at truly full-screen. Then when done with full-screen view, I want to click/toggle Mac's "green light" button again and have all the Firefox browser UI elements return. (Tab bar, URL bar, bookmarks bar).

I'm setting up a new Mac with Sonoma 14.7.1. with Firefox 133.0 (UK English).

Normally my basic zoom setting is 133% with the 'zoom text only' box UNchecked. This has always worked in the past but the settings no long 'stick' and need a reset every time Firefox is restarted.

Firefox is installed in the admin account and I'm running as user, although this has not been a problem in the past.

Is this a known bug or is there a workround for it? All help & suggestions appreciated.

Hello, I am running Firefox on a W10-Pro PC. I always click the lock to check certificate validation. In the last month I keep seeing "Connection verified by a certificate issuer that is not recognized by Mozilla".

When I click for more information I see that "Norton Web/Mail Shield" does not recognize the certificate issuer. When I click on Learn More it takes me to a Firefox site "How to disable the Enterprise Roots preference" I also checked W10 certmgr.msc and I see Norton is listed. Images included below. I would love to resolve this issue. Thank you for your time.

When is Firefox (across devices) going to bring "Tab Groups" in-built in 2025 as it is difficult to ditch Chrome esp., if it is related to work or research and similar tabs are opened up?

I have to rely on chrome and edge for same and both have not only brought it but improved it considerably. Also, chrome has not brought for mobile devices so grouping of tabs is more easy and simple but when I look at Firefox and Firefox based browsers, I see nothing of that thing present. The addon esp., Simple Tab Groups (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/) is unreliable (see reviews).

If Firefox want us to use their browser and as default, they should see why we are using Chrome and Edge (latter, having vertical tabs in-built, also).

I hope 2025 is a year Firefox learns of how to retain users across devices. Currently Firefox is more from 2005.

Browser Choice Alliance wont be helpful if browsers like Firefox dont see users and their reviews and posts and issues reported. "https://browserchoicealliance.org/"

3 years post and still no work, and Firefox wants us to use their browser over Chrome and Edge. Why? And how?

All of my desktop bookmarks are on mobile, but after resetting my password they won't sync back to my desktop. I can't even access them from my desktop, despite browsing data still being clearly accessible. I have 10 years of bookmarks on my mobile device that for whatever reason now will not transfer to my desktop firefox no matter what I try. Since there's no way to manually export to xml on mobile I have no way of accessing these and I am at risk of losing 10 years of bookmarks, many of which are vital to the work I do.

I have just logged on for the day and the Side Bar has changed. It now has an extra layer making it wider which now pushes a highly used website page off the screen which is very annoying because I don't want to reduce it's zoom any more.

I use the Side Bar to bookmark various links within this website as shortcuts to navigate it.

How do I remove this unwanted extra layer?

Please find attached a Snipping Tool file.

The unwanted extra layer is the bar down the left showing my Bookmark icon on the top and the Settings icon on the bottom neither of which I want or need and this is causing the extra width to the sidebar which is upsetting my viewing. How do I remove this new bar?

Hi Everyone,

ever since the latest Firefox update, the "read more" feature on LinkedIn pages (personal pages, not the feed) does not show up anymore, at least not for me - the feature allows you to expand the various subsections to read their full content.

I opened LinkedIn on Chrome and Edge to see if it is indeed a browser issue, and it's working fine over there. I also did some troubleshooting (refreshing, clearing cache), but to no avail.

Does anybody else have the same problem?

Thank you!

"You will have to visit each link (i.e. click the bookmark) to make Firefox retrieve the favicon"

That the common advice. Never works for me. If it was actually going to work, wouldn't it be when you originally create the bookmark?.

Having these favicons saves time, makes you workflow easier. Am I correct that the problem is with the given website making it available?
