hello. my name is Andrew. im learning the language toki pona. great language! however, it does not currently have support in Unicode.

as a workaround to use this language online, people have been downloading a font called nasin nanpa, and adding it to firefox's font fallback system in the about:config settings, and using the fonts UCSUR characters, like these 󱥬, 󱥂​󱤴​󱤧​󱤑​󱦐󱤄󱤽󱤧󱤊󱥵󱦑.

[specifically, the font uses codepoints in the Private Use Area because the language's script is not yet in Unicode. ]

the changes are to these settings.

font.name-list.cursive.x-western font.name-list.monospace.x-western font.name-list.sans-serif.x-western font.name-list.serif.x-western

recently, this system has stopped working. this change breaks multiple websites, including many discord community's that used the font to talk online in toki pona!

it also presumably breaks other fallback scenarios. now im guessing that this has not been noticed as most fonts support every commonly used character, making this feature rather obscure. however i really would love this to be fixed, and so would the large toki pona community!

to see what i mean better, please see the below images. the last image shows a website that loads this font on it's own, showing what the others should look like.

Hello firefox team,

Love your browser and keep getting better.

I have a small request, please help me.

The search bar in Firefox is positioned on the right side, which doesn’t work well for me as a network engineer. Is there a way to customize it so that I can move the search bar to the left side of the toolbar?

Best, Aby

Firefox 145.0.1 (64 bit) - Until recently the full URL address always displayed in the Location Bar. About a month ago the full address disappeared completely and a blue globe icon at the end had to be clicked to display the full address.

I have changed "browser.urlbar.trimURLs" to false per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1493782#answer-1712662. Now when I do a new search the full URLs still do not display. I still have to click the blue globe. But if I click on any of the search result pages the full URLs display. How can I fix this?

I have a chromebook with linux enabled and installed firefox according to mozilla's instruction - via the sudo get-apt command. The cursor changes from the default to a very small adwaita. I've spent hours googling this issue and everyone I've come across had used some third party repo or was trying to shove in their own custom cursor theme. Literally all I want is my regular cursor back, and I have no clue why mozilla would have a specifically set cursor for their browser instead of just having it default to os. I don't really know what I'm doing here, but I cannot begin to state how tired I am of messing with this dead-end issue.

Google home page black and can't change . . .

Machine: Dell Inspiron 15 CPU: Intel i5-7200U @ 2.5 GHz OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS RAM: 16 GB GPU: AMD Radeon R5 M445

Yesterday I switched on my PC, opened Firefox and the home page was black. See the attached screenshot. This is not caused by some accidental switching on of the dark mode. Dark mode is clearly off. Neither can I adjust settings to make the Google home page revert to its customary light grey shade.

This isn't a big deal, I know. And it has happened before and in a short period gone away by itself. Maybe it is to do with a glitch in the latest Firefox version. But it has an unpleasant appearance and discourages surfing.

My Chrome Google home page doesn't have this issue.

Can anyone advise on how to fix this unwanted black screen problem ?

The scrollbar slider isn't displaying correctly. If I grab the screen, zoom in, and look very carefully, it is possible to see that the slider is a very slightly different darker shade of grey to the rest of the scrollbar, but it's almost impossible to see, so something is clearly not working properly here. The scrollbar should be highly visible as it's the most often-clicked control of the entire browser.

When using vertical tabs and having bookmarks toolbar only visible on a new tab, there is this behavior where if you are on a website (bookmarks toolbar not visible) and then open a new tab, the vertical tabs move because they need to make space for the bookmarks toolbar. Would it be possible to make it like it is, for example, in Microsoft Edge, where when you open a new tab, your vertical tabs do not need to move because the bookmarks toolbar is as if off to the side a little bit, so the vertical tabs do not need to provide extra space for it? My hope would be for the bookmarks toolbar to be next to the vertical tabs, not above them.
