Hello!
I downloaded Firefox for the first time on my computer as I am trying to switch away from Chrome. I installed the latest version from the Mozilla website and launched the browser. Upon first launch, it had one empty tab and one privacy tab, both of which were empty. I assumed it was a bug, looked up the issue online and saw an answer saying to kill the process in the task manager and relaunch, which I did.
I launched the browser a second time, and made it my default, and imported the bookmarks from my Chrome default profile. The issue still was not fixed. I am able to open the browser, create new tabs, and browse my bookmarks, but nothing opens in the tabs themselves. Entering manually an URL doesn't work either, also an empty tab. I cannot open the menus either, I can browse the different options, that's it.
I saw another help thread about Troubleshooting mode, and had issues launching it - while I can find the "Run troubleshooting mode" option, clicking restart did not work. I only managed to make it work via the task manager (???) where it launched the actual, working restart option popup window when I killed the process. When it did launch in trouble shooting mode, the same issue persisted.
I tried looking the about:config commands but just like entering URLs, it gives a blank page.
My firewall has access to the software. I manually removed and re-entered the software access following a guide on the support forums.
All the help I could find online parrots the same things:
I am at loss for what to do...

firefox updated itself today to 89.0 (64-bit) and now when i try to use the search bar on my firefox home page it jumps the text up to the address bar instead of typing into the search bar to search. i do not want to use my address bar to search... it's also annoying to try to use the search bar and have my text show up in another part of the screen.
actually, it doesn't even search, it just types the text in the address bar then tries to go to the address and fails.
how to i reverse this change?

Hello,
I have been using Thunderbird since its inception, it is my favorite email software.
Unfortunately, for many months now I have had to go through the Safe Mod (via key SHIFT) to access my e-mails: it becomes really very painful! When I want to go through normal mode, Thunderbird always quits and becomes unusable.
How can I return to normal use without losing the messages that I have kept since ... 2005? > 1To
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards.
PS : sorry for my poor English (I'm French)

Hello, as of today my Firefox Windows is half transparent. Including all Task Bars and drop down menus. Rendering it quite unuseable. This behavior is unique to Firefox, other Applications are not affected. When I boot Firefox in the Debug-Mode the transparency is gone. Can someone tell me what the Issue may be and how I can disble this setting?
Operating System: UbuntuStudio 20.04.2 LTS Firefox Version: 89.0 (64-Bit) Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0 Used Theme: the standard dark theme from Firefox in Version 1.2

After an automatic update Firefox had a terrible surprise for me. A beyond ugly user interface. And NO WAY to fix this with a simple toggle switch back to classic mode. There are theme's available, but still it looks unusable to me. This kind of updates should be beyond Mozilla, maybe don't hire former Apple employees, the esthetics don't have to be " slick and modern"
So after a long fight with almost losing my plugins, saved tabs (100+) etc.. I downgraded successfully to 88.
Step 1 (Secure your profile) Open menu, Click Help, Click "More Troubleshooting Information" Go to the line which says, "Profile Folder" Hit open folder
Pay extra attention during these steps: Now you are browsing in your active profile. If you did this after upgrading to 89 version. Make a back-up copy of this whole folder!! Rename it back up.
Open the file "Compatibility.ini" with a text editor, and empty it. Save and close.
Download and install the previous version of Firefox, After installing don't forget to disable automatic updates.
If the profile isn't loaded, browse to "about:profiles" and find and select your profile to get al your plugins, tabs, favs, etc. back.
Its a terrible shame i need to write this down for people to avoid the frustration of a terrible update

Following problem since last update (89.0, 64bix, Win 10): When I call my list of bookmarks (Alt+L for Lesezeichen in my German Firefox), the lines in my list are much farther apart than before (see attached screen shot). Thus, I now have to scroll down to reach the lower items in the list. What can I do to get back the former, narrow list of bookmarks? Thanks a lot Hansueli Hof

This is my second attempt to resolve my issues using this forum...the first attempt was interpreted by the volunteers as a request to return to the previous version. Am I correct that firefox doesnt recommend returning to the previous version. So I simply want to do two things with the current version...go to single spacing in the drop down menus like the Bookmarks menu....and....change size of the test in the upper toolbars like the menu bar. Now tell me why I cant contact firefox directly to get the help I want...??
My theme went away with the latest update today. How do I get my old theme back?

W7 HP 64B. After the recent v89 update I have to ask, "why" ? Why change to wire icons ? Why not give me that option instead of you forcing it ? Why make themes when they don't change to what I want ? Why make the margin at the top of the screen larger ? Why should I have to try and "about:config: , to change something back ? Why are you not aware of the people you are forcing to use Chrome ? Who are you taking "MY CHOICES" away ? Are you demonicrats ? Why should I continue to use FF, when you have no answers, just rhetoric ?

I've used Firefox for years, and this is, by far, the worst update to date......
the newly upgraded version of Firefox 89 is horrendous!!! How did you manage to get it approved for "universal design" to make it "disability friendly"? I find it visually unfriendly, it does not allow for the level of adaptation some of us might need to make it more visually friendly and easier to navigate
please provide instructions for those of us who prefer to go back to version 88! or make additional changes to correct version 89 to make it more user-friendly like version 88 was......please!!!!
(and lesson learned, I will stop doing "upgrade/update available" if it's going to result in the horrifically unfriendly version I'm having to deal with right now )(or else you all are really trying to push people to Chrome and/or Edge, which I assure you, is not my preference)
please fix asap!!!

In the previous version when I clicked new tab a window would come up and on the page was recent or heavily used web sites I visited. I could then click on the picture and go directly to that web site, video, etc. In this new version, that is not happening. I have to type in the URL each time for where I want to go. I am a senior citizen and this is frustrating. Is there a way to get this version to do what version 88 did?

I just started with 89.0 and instead of the horrid 15% of CPU that 88 used it now uses 30%. That's with an enormous amount of windows (not tabs) open, but most are limited by NoScript until I temp permit them. FX Task Manager shows very little usage, so apparently no ill behaved sites. AAR 30% of an i7 with many gigs of memory is intolerable. Even the 15% was heating up the CPU.
So I'll take "some" CPU heating vs. "massive" by rolling back to 88.0.1. By the way, whatever keeps changing my option from manually approved updates to automatic, thank you for doing that at times without asking me first.
The problem is that now when I start 88.0.1 it insists on a new profile "for my own protection". But I want the old profile, with hundreds of bookmarks and dozens or hundreds of session windows from my last session, and add-ins ... for example right how I don't have NoScript and don't have time to deal with that. I tried to get around the "we're just helping you" insistence on a new profile, by copying a week-old backup over C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\hbouy3r1.default\sessionstore.jsonlz4 and starting but it still insists. I guess that's just sessions, not the whole profile.
Can I defeat the prohibition against using the old profile, or failing that, can I import or merge the old profile in? Keep in mind that the "old" profile has been modified by having started 89. I wish now that I had never selected the old profile when I began 89 (I always prompt for profile). (But, heck, I didn't even KNOW I was going to a new version. It auto-updated, and when I started FX, and it seems to have "updated" the old profile making it now unusable for a prior version).
Or can I go to a backup and copy the tree of C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\OldProfile\ and start FX again with 88.0.1? BTW I assume that is the version I was on a week ago.

How do I search from the Search Box (the box under Google" on the Google Homepage) ? Since the latest Firefox update (89.0June 2021), even though I have the cursor in the Search Box, when I type the cursor jumps to the address search box. I have tried adjusting the Firefox "search" settings, but that didn't work. I also tried changing "keyw" in "about:config" but that disabled searching in both the Search Box and the Address/Search Panel. Also tried reverting to the older version of Firefox (88.0)
I used to have Firefox set up how I like it, but now it seems I've lost that. Any ideas, please ?

Even though some of the changes in Firefox 89 have been resolved with your help, I still have this large spacing/padding in the >bookmark< drop-down lists when I click a folder on the bookmark bar. The bars, tabs, tool menu, and even the "other bookmark" *sidebar* are all back to normal but none of those fixes changed the drop-down bookmark spacing.
Any suggestions on what to try next??
Thanks for your time!
