Umpteenth Firefox update (117.0), umpteenth CSS customization shenanigans: can anyone please help me restore the tab bar right end icons? Thank you!

I've always upkept my userChrome.css with two main effects in mind:

- tabs on bottom - general transparency of the bars

The latest update luckily spared both (it actually turned the tabs' close button red, but whatever...) but, now, 3 icons that I had placed on the right end of the tab bar have disappeared; I've already checked the toolbar customization menu, but they haven't been moved there. Anyway, this time I haven't been able to solve it on my own, unfortunately...

My current userChrome.css is: https://pastebin.com/FhqK2BWu

And my "special" about:config settings, which I've customized over the years to set everything back to how it looked before the progressive updates, are: https://pastebin.com/qVDsQ2T3

Can anyone please suggest a solution? Thanks for your attention!

I just got a new laptop and downloaded Firefox for it. But I am getting pop up ads which say they're coming FROM Mozilla Firefox. I have to click them away, as small pop ups in the bottom right corner of the screen. They're typical of any spam. But some also create their own tabs!

while performing a download, "com.android.phone has stopped" apears, the signal strenght indicator in the upper right restarts(disappears, reappears with the 4G mark, the mark disappears and the indicator works after), after that the phone service and the phone app work normally. the download finishes normally.

using motorola e7 plus, android 10

tried restarting the phone, deleting cash and data of phone app, deleting cash of firefox

tried downloading using google chrome, all work normally.

it is possible that the issue started happening after I updated firefox but It's possible that it was happening before too.

Firefox Beta for Android frequently loads webpages as a blank black or grey page. Reloading the tab does nothing - only closing it and reopening it allows the page to load as expected.

I'm a big fan of Firefox and have been using it as my main browser for years, but this issue happens so often that I'm considering moving over to Samsung Internet when on mobile.

P.S. I know it isn't an addon issue as this still happens when all extensions are disabled.

I'm using a Galaxy 21FE on Android 13. Tracking protection is set to default. HTTPS only mode is enabled.

Disappearing "New Tab" button when tabs exceed width of display space

Past experience. With just a few tabs open there was a "+" button at the right hand end of the tab bar for a new tab. When the number of tabs got too many (in my case 18) the "+" button was JOINED by a ">" button to be able to see tabs off the right hand end of the toolbar, but still use the new tab button.

Post update to the current version of Firefox, at the point the ">" button appears it is REPLACING the "+" button.

I know there are workarounds, but my "rut" is to use the "+" to get a new tab.

Is there any way of getting it back?

Hi,

I have noticed the following recent change in behavior :

[MAC OS Ventura 13.5.1 - Firefox 117.0]

Firefox is and has always been my default browser.

Firefox not yet running - If I receive an email with a hyperlink in it and click on it, Firefox will open my Home Page but not the page the hyperlink refers to.

Firefox already open - If I click the hyperlink in the email, Firefox will open a new tab with the page the hyperlink refers to - ok

Until recently clicking on a hyperlink in a email would open the page the link refers to irrespective of whether Firefox was already running or not. I would need to revert to that behavior. Is there a parameter I can change to have it restored ?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks beforehand.

For a while now, I had the issue of apps on Windows 11 opening very delayed (approx. 10-15 seconds after the input) on irregular occasions. I was now able to figure out that Firefox seems to be the cause of the problem. Whenever I close Firefox (and thus move to another program), I'm unable to open any other app for a couple of seconds. Task Manager shows three Firefox background processes that only show upon closing it. Only when they disappear, the apps I clicked on finally open. I've tried reinstalling and cleaning Firefox, but nothing changed.

As said, I'm on Windows 11 with a i5-13600k and Firefox is installed on an SSD. I couldn't really find any information on this problem.

We are distributor of Firefox extension for dragon professional. ( We are self distrubutor of the the firefox extension )

It’s ID is dgnria_pro.firefox@nuance.com

Now we have done some modification to the same extension, while publishing it shows error as “Duplicate add-on ID found.”

Earlier we have used same ID for the Firefox extension in the year 2018.

Currently we have opened new account with same ID “dgnria_pro.firefox@nuance.com” and faced the mentioned issue.

We are expected to publish our extension with the same extension id as we don’t want our existing customers get affected.

Is there any way with which extension id “dgnria_pro.firefox@nuance.com” can be deleted from backend , so that we can reuse it.

We need solution for this ASAP. Please hlep us on this.

Same as the question.

The display shows some icons on the last tabs I opened but it seems only some basic website layout is loaded but all the details are gone. Like text, button borders, even the exit, fullscreen and minimize buttons. I have seen that this has been an issue for quite some time before so I am looking if there is a fix or a workaround. I have and Nvidia graphics card and drivers if that means anything. And my swap file is 20 GB and my RAM is 16 so the space shouldn't be a problem. It gets fixed when I turn off Firefox but not when I refresh tabs.

The crazy thing is that when I take a screenshot inside firefox (with firefox integrated screenshot option, like when I press right click and then take screenshot. I can see the text so it seems like it is a display problem but this only happens with firefox and not other apps.

Appreciate all the help. I will ask of ubuntu formums next if I don't find a solution here.

Thank you all for reading and answering!

Hello.

My name is Kris and I have been a life-long Firefox user. Recently I have come across this great Firefox Onebar CSS style, which I have become obsessed with: https://codeberg.org/Freeplay/Firefox-Onebar, which aims to modify the Firefox default appearance. I have installed it according to instruction and introduced few tweaks offered for consideration iin the aforementioned link:

  • onebar.hide-all-URLbar-icons
  • onebar.disable-https-truncate
  • onebar.disable-single-tab

This is the most far I have gone without further ruining the browser by manually editing the Userchrome.css file.

Could I please request your help with adjusting said file content to make minor changes? My expectations are to leave everything untouched besides the following:

  • all flexible spaces are removed
  • the Extensions button is removed
  • the List All Tabs button is removed
  • the Home and Refresh buttons are permanently visible and aligned to the left of URL bar, followed by conditionally visible Back and Forward arrows upon their activation (they seem to be in the URL bar already however are invisible)
  • the Hamburger is permanently visible and aligned to the right of the URL bar(it seems to be in the URL bar already, but is invisible)
  • the search box is aligned to the left, but is preceded by Home, Refresh buttons and Navigation arrows

The Navigation arrows and Hamburger menu invisibility issue might have to do with the colour that has assumed the same one as the theme URL bar background.

If you could please modify that style for me, that would be so great, indeed. I have been obsessed with that ever since I have discovered it. Alternatvely, please direct me to a forum/IRC channel where I can place that request.

Thank you, hank you, thank you. Please, respond. Kris.

I think the virus is back, it interferesbwhen typing, it's stopping my smaller antivirusles from working properly, it keeps turning the VPN off, it's blocking my internal and using my pin card! And I'm blocked from my Amazon account because chrome went to buy something! I've had this virus before so you must have a report number about it, it's very clever but I'm fed up fighting it now, been going on for months and theres nothing wrong with my phone, but starting to think about getting another, this annoys me every day!

For the past month or so, every time I launch Firefox, it freezes exactly twice:

  1. After 5-10 seconds of just being open, it will freeze and stop responding to input. Any animations, videos, blinking text cursors, etc. in the current webpage continue to play as if nothing is wrong. After a second or two of being frozen, it will return to working correctly.
  2. I can use it for a few seconds and then it will do the same thing and then eventually turn white and say "(Not Responding)" in the title bar, but always immediately after a click or keyboard input happens. If I open a website and then continue working in other programs, it will not freeze until I refocus Firefox.

Once both freezes have happened, everything works as normal until I close all Firefox windows and then relaunch it later.

I provided the full troubleshooting information report below (apparently it's not public!), but in summary: Firefox version: 117.0 build 20230824132758 OS: Windows 11 version 22H2 build 22621.2215 GPU: Intel Arc A750, driver version 31.0.101.4644 (8/11/2023). I know it's is unusual, but I know someone with an Intel Arc A770, also running Windows 11, who does not have this problem with Firefox.

This does not happen on my laptop, which is also Windows 11, and Firefox Sync is working between them. I'm also using Firefox Sync with my Pixel 6 and iPhone X and neither of those has any issue.

I have already tried:

  • Rebooting my PC
  • Running Firefox in "Troubleshoot Mode":' no extensions enabled, same behavior
  • Running Edge: no freezing issue, but I don't want to use Edge for so many reasons
  • Reinstalling Firefox: I ran the Firefox uninstaller, deleted %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox, and then reinstalled. It froze the same way immediately after launching the fresh install, before I signed in and synced all my data back.
  • Running sfc /scannow: No problems found, freezing still happening

Are there any further troubleshooting step I can try, debug output I can enable/collect, etc.? This is really annoying and I'm all out of ideas.
