Yesterday morning i had sidebar bookmarks. Then when I turned my desktop back on in the evening it was gone. I have a few "tabs" on top which I do not like at all. I can't find my bookmarks, other than recent ones. How can I get my bookmarks back on the sidebar? I need some sort of fix please, to get my bookmarks back on the sidebar where they were.

I recently needed to reinstall Firefox to attempt to deal with an issue. It turned out Firefox was not the cause but when the new browser opened, it did not have the Home icon on the toolbar.

I went to "Customize toolbar" and added it but now it shows up on the far right end of the toolbar. It used to be to the left of the URL area. I tried to grab it with the mouse and drag it but it won't move.

Every time I need to jump to a home page I end up going where it used to be. I realize this is small potatoes but is there any way to get it back where it used to be?

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. 😅

Hi all, sorry if this has been already covered somewhere, this is my first time posting a question here.

It looks like a recent update for Firefox on my tablet (a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4) added a separate tabs bar across the top of the app? This is incredibly annoying and takes up way too much space on my screen, and I'd like to get back to the way the browser looks previously. Is this possible?

This post is a follow-up to a tech’s response regarding David Cote's Google Play comment: Following a recent update to my Samsung Firefox browser, the option to position the Address/Navigation Buttons at the bottom has disappeared. This setting was previously found under Settings > Customize. Interestingly, my Pixel phone still retains this feature, as shown in the images below. In contrast, the tablet's browser now displays the Address/Navigation Buttons at the top, along with "Tab" links, resembling the Firefox browser on my laptop. Visual examples are included below for reference.

I have recently got a new work laptop and have imported my bookmarks and passwords. However, I am unable to get the bookmarks toolbar to show up? The usual way of enabling it to always show or only show on new tabs doesn't work and I have a message on the toolbar that says "For quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar. Manage Bookmarks..." But nothing works. Please can you assist as it is driving me nuts.

Hi,

I'm using FF (128.8.0esr) on Debian testing.

Is there a way to open a site as window w/o any toolbars/menu etc. , preferably from the command-line, some magic switch?

This thread https://tinyurl.com/24b5q2t2 discusses the "ssb" switch but it's not available in this browser.

Hi Friends, I'm using Firefox for Linux Mint, mint-001 - 1.0, 133.0.3 (64-bit) on Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon 6.2.9. There is no theme for Linux Mint, but for Firefox, I'm using a theme called "Dark-Blue (o-plot) Dark-Blue theme".

Yes, I realize it's out of date. I'll be happy to update if it's needed to solve this problem. Well, maybe it's time for an update anyway.... We'll see.

Anyway, I found in Linux, the System Settings dialog, which has a few settings for scrollbars. So I made them wider (easier to grab with the mouse). But in the dialog there's a caveat that says it might not work for every program. And indeed, it works in every dialog and program except for Firefox.

First question: Is there any way to make the Firefox scrollbars wider?

Relatively recently, I migrated to Linux Mint from Windows. I don't know if the change in the scrolbar appearance and behavior is more related to industry trends, or if this is just Linux's way. But I sorely miss the 2 buttons at the top and bottom of the scrollbar (from Windows) that allow you to scroll one click at a time. I also miss the ability to scroll one page or screen at a time, by clicking above or below the scrollbar

Second question: Is there any way to get the scroll buttons back?

Fyi, I did search before coming here to ask for help. I found one message which appears to offer a solution. But it's too technical for me to try it on my own. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1513734

If that is indeed a correct solution, maybe you call could simplify it for me? Or maybe there is an even simpler or better solution?

Thank you very much.

Reference: Firefox Desktop 139.0.1. See the attached image. What does the overlaid blue (cable with plug?) icon mean on top of my Grid Overlay bookmarklet? The overlay appeared after the update to v139.0.1 (desktop) on Arch Linux. And only on top of my bookmarklet. In case it's relevant. The bookmarklet consists of JS that injects some HTML in the rendered webpage and then beckons my grid overlay. Self developed to overlay my own web layouts.

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'.
