I've pretty much exhausted my simple little mind about this problem. At some point around the beginning of the year, Firefox changed the fonts on all my toolbars to some ridiculously miniscule font. I've queried Google's AI several times, tried every solution I've received, all to no avail. Is there a way to do this? I just want to enlarge the font in all the toolbars, not the web site contents, and lock it in. Thanks to whoever can help me achieve this.

Hello

After a recent update, the bookmarks menu changed—when you click a certain line, it glows bright blue. I understand this is for ease of use while using bookmarks, but I'm used to leaving this menu open all the time, and after these changes, the blue glow is very distracting.

In light of this, I'd really like to know how to restore the old display, or, if that's not possible, I'd like to see special personalization settings for this type of thing in future updates.

Recently, the android app was changed internally that, ie. settings are no longer accessible through a sidebar menu but from the bottom up (?). Now, the entire tab view has changed - the tiled tab preview shows tabs as way longer tiles (which is incredibly inconvenient) and the layout at the top for accessing normal tabs, private tabs and synced tabs has entirely changed, too. But none of the guides I have found online to disable this change through settings (and secret settings) worked to set this change back. Is there any other way to change it back at all?

I use Firefox as it is one of the last good browsers that isn't chromium based. However, I use it for work and like a nice clean PROFESSIONAL look.

With the introduction of version 149, I see new cartoonish fox icons pop up all over the place. After a little research it appears to be Kit, the firefox mascot.

Let me be clear, I don't hate the mascot, he's cute. But that is not what I want in a browser. I find his appearance and lack of ability to eliminate him infuriating.

I try to run a firefox in a as minimalistic state as possible. Intruducutions of this character, make the browser feel cartoony and childish. Things I despise in an application. I know many people like him, but I would like the option to not have him appear in the application at all.

I was able to successfully remove him from the certificate warning page setting the flag: security.certerrors.felt-privacy-v1 --> FALSE.

However, I can't find other places to remove this nuisance. Take a look at the attached screenshot. Things like this are not welcome without a way to disable it.

Do you have any documentation or instructions I can use to disable this childish nonsense and restore an adult browser again?

How do I make this horribel change occured to my browser??

It was okay, fhen it changed into

this

thing and it reverted itself and I was happy

then it's like this again

It has no sense, You must have to use 2 hands at same time to browse with this new UI, it actively tries to lure you into unwanted function. I am unhappy.

In Windows 11, how do I add the Firefox icon to the extreme top left of its webpages?

When I switch tabs to Firefox, typically using Alt+Tab, I am often unsure at first which program I am in. I have searched Firefox settings, and googled extensively, and there seems to be no way to add the icon back. I believe that it was once there, but I am unsure of this.

Almost every other program places its icon on the top left of its pages. Surely it is possible to do the same in Firefox, which just has an empty space there.

(But I am wrong on the last point, because Edge, which I rarely use, also has no icon there. Surely Firefox does not want to share any problem that Edge has!)

I have set my phone to switch between light and dark mode on schedule. Everytime it does so, Firefox doesn't theme refresh correctly. Usually, the search bar will be on the old theme and I'll need to close Firefox as an active app and restart it to refresh correctly. This also means websites looking for theme refresh signals from the browser do not pick it up correctly and thus the browsing experience is visually jarring. This issue has been around for more than a year. Reinstalling Firefox hasn't helped. This is a bug in the browser code and can be reproduced on my Android tablet as well.

I have an issue in that, upon pressing the three-dot menu button on mobile, the browser menu is suddenly popping up from the bottom of the screen instead of sliding in from the side like it's supposed to, as well as what used to be a nice and neat list of options now being a cluster of hard-to-make-out icons and buttons. I didn't change anything in the settings to make it do this (I very specifically selected the "top" display option when I first downloaded Firefox months ago and haven't touched it since), and I've already checked reddit to see if anyone else is having this problem and if so, how to return my menu's behavior and appearance to normal (no luck).

I unfortunately have no images of what my menu is supposed to look like as it never occurred to me something like this could happen, but I can at least provide a screenshot of the ugly way it looks now (notice the little bar at the top of it that suggests I'd be able to "drag" it back to its correct placement? Yeah, it doesn't do anything, no matter how long I hold my finger on it.) PLEASE tell me what can be done to undo this awful change and return my menu to normal!

Hallo, ich benutze immer den aktuellen Firefox unter Debian Trixie. Ich habe jetzt das Problem das sich das Fenster meines Firefox nach einiger Zeit der Untätigkeit von selbst verkleinert. Sprich, wenn ich einen Button drücken möchte dann muss ich mit dem Mauszeiger eine Zeile höher drücken als der Button liegt. Meine Treiber sind alle aktuell und ich habe früher dieses Problem noch nie gehabt. Wäre euch für eine Hilfe dankbar. mfg Schorsch
