Hello, "desktop view" is very useful, and I use it for LinkedIn because the "mobile mode" is shitty (I guess to make/force people to install the proprietary and closed source LinkedIn app).

I found that "desktop view" is stopping working while activated, when you always keep a tab opened for days... I have to close the tab and open a new one to make "desktop view" working again.

I found too that "open in a new tab" action is not inheriting the view mode of the parent tab and that an issue when browsing the same website.

Could it be possible to have "desktop view" enable by default based on visited website?

Taskbar icon does not indicate when new mail has arrived. Does not show a count of new/unread messages. 128.3.2 Windows 11

In settings "incoming mail" icon options I have chosen "show count of new emails" and "show a tray icon for unread messages is checked".

I am unable to tell at a glance if new email has arrived. I see from researching the KB I'm not the only to have this issue, but none of the settings seem to help.

Out of nowhere I got the sidebar today. An absolutely useless feature that I surely did not ask for. And there is no way of closing or removing it. Please provide a guide, to removing or hiding it PERMANENTLY!

Can someone please tell me how to disable the new Sidebar? It is interrupting all of my workflow on the screen and it is frustrating with all of the choice and customization options in Firefox, that there would be no way to disable it.

Before the last update, when you assigned a colored label to the message (e.g., work, important, etc.), the entire title, header of the message, took the chosen color. Now you only see a small tag.

'The previous system was definitely more practical. Can it be reactivated?

Seems like the newest Firefox update (131.0) changed the way my Home Page (on the new tab) looks. WHY??

Now there's a giant logo taking up a fifth of the vertical space, forcing me to scroll to see my shortcut icons. WHY????

Oh, and the shortcut icons are now spaced farther apart and are significantly smaller. WHY????????

I set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.logowordmark.alwaysVisible to false but the logo is still present.

Please revert these changes. Or, if someone could provide me with some tips on how to edit the userchrome.css or whatever, that would be great.

Firefox Android on an older Sony Xperia Android Tab (2016) still receiving Firefox updates, would you believe it, cannot access about:config page -- and yes it's about:config I'm attempting to access. Firefox adress bar icon displays site warning and freezes the page load whatever setting i try in Firefox settings.

No antimalware or such nonsense used on the device, just as fake in protecting my privacy as (foreign) gov.-sponsored whitelabel antimalware and privacy search engines -- remembering the recent Bing API-blackout that displayed a Bing search engine error message in all of the so called's etc etc

I'm not logged in on the device, as in not syncing an access all home living room device in any way. I don't need a breadcrum trail of other users leading to my accounts.

So what am I after? I don't want a stored cache of recently visited pages that apparently hog the limited memory and I want to limit the amount of 'recently visited pages'-cache stored in Firefox on Android. I want Firefox to be *pristine (beyond the moniker settings available as 'clear all' at Firefox close) each time a user picks up the tab. So, there's one or two settings under about:config limiting the recently visited pages cache to the latest visited only after closing Firefox -- lowest setting available (?) is 0, but hey, that's life.

Please how do I stop these floating windows above the tabs in Firefox 131.0? They mostly cover up the tabs and make it difficult to impossible to open or close tabs. The floating window only half shows up above he tab. This is just insane and makes using Firefox almost to much to deal with. Every time I get near a tab the floating window appears and tells me what the tab already tells me. Come on this is GARBAGE!

H E L P !!!! PLEASE....

New day, new glitch. Since the inception of weather showing on the Firefox landing page, it has accurately shown my location. Today, it is not only not my city, it is in another state. It also does not respond to my making a correction with my zip code. Can we expect a correction any time soon?

I am a bit confused about how to keep updating FF on my Windows 7 PC, given that after March my current version (115.17.0esr) may not work as intended. Until now I've always updated manually by downloading a small 343KB installer file that updated FF without changing any of my settings, logins and bookmarks. Hoping to simplify updating, today I set updates to "Automatically install updates (recommended)" with sub-option "When Firefox is not running". But just now a FF notification informed me it was unable to update automatically and provided a link to https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/enterprise/?reason=manual-update. From the dropdown there I chose "Windows 64-bit" > "Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR)". The download is a 64MB file.

Since this seems to be a new installation and not a simple update, can I be sure it won't overwrite my current version and leave me without settings, logins and bookmarks?

I recently reloaded my M1 MacBook Air with macOS Sequoia. Ever since doing so, Firefox opens the right-click menu every time I press Control+Return (like when attempting to autocomplete a URL ending in .com, a feature I use quite frequently). It is only in Firefox that this happens, no other browser or program is doing this. I have uninstalled Firefox using AppCleaner, downloaded a new copy of Firefox 131.0 and reinstalled without any change in this behavior. Any ideas on what I can do to stop this so Control+Return only autocompletes a URL again?

I'm running Thunderbird 128.2.0esr (64-bit) on a Windows 11 PC. I can't find any way to associate a *.log file with notepad, even though this is the my windows default.

• Other file types work fine
• But Notepad isn't in the list when I double-click the file and I have to browse for it every time.
• When setting the default for another file type, it said this could be changed in "Options". I have Settings, but not Options. Under Menu > Settings > General, it has "Files & Attachments". Under this there are 2 columns: Content Type and Action. The only thing listed is Portable Document Content (PDF) and no way to add anything.* Bulleted list item

I know I can hide the sidebar by clicking the button on the toolbar. But I'm used to opening my bookmarks and history with ctrl+b and ctrl+h, and being able to close them the same way. This still works to close the actual bookmarks/history, but the sidebar doesn't return to being hidden (despite being hidden before I opened them), it hangs around taking up space on the left of my screen. Even after I removed everything so it's just a useless blank rectangle with "customise sidebar" at the bottom, it defaults to staying open unless I click the button. It's really annoying. Is there any way to make it hide itself again automatically once I'm done using it?

How to shrink this vertical space? (see attached image)

Ever since 131.0.0 my shortcut icons got all messed up so I am trying to restore the original look. I've already removed the giant Firefox logo and made my icons larger. Now I need to condense them so I don't have to scroll to see them all.

Here's what I have so far in my userContent.css:

/* Minimize the size of the logo and wordmark on the Home/New Tab pages */ @-moz-document url(about:newtab), url(about:home) {

 .logo {
   background-size: 0px !important;
   height: 0px !important;
   width: 0px !important;
 }
 .wordmark {
   background-size: 0px !important;
   height: 0px !important;
   width: 0px !important;
   margin-inline-start: 0px !important;
 }

 /* Expand the shortcut icon images to max size on the Home/New Tab pages */
 .top-site-outer .tile .icon-wrapper {height:100% !important; width:100% !important;}

}

How do I turn this odd feature that dims FF bars when window loses focus? As of look of it only tabbar and toolbar are affected. I couldn't find anything relevant under "about:config". Also some tricks with CSS didn't work for me, maybe because I have custom chromeCSS that brings tabbar under bookmarksbar and applies other customization so that FF window looks like old good FF before they started to put everything on a single line in the bar. Thanks in advance.

I recently upgraded to Thunderbird 128.2.3esr, and I no longer have the zebra stripes that alternate between my messages.

The userChrome.css file that appears in my profile's chrome folder is:

/* Light green, high-contrast zebra stripes in message list */

1. threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(odd) {

-moz-appearance: none !important; background-image: none !important; /* background-color:#99E02E !important;} */

  background-color:#EEFFBB !important;} 

/* background-color:#AED6F1 !important;} */

1. threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(selected) {

background-color:#45A1FF !important;}

Is there a reason that this no longer works? Can it be modified to restore the zebra stripes? Or is there an alternative code that will restore functionality?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know where Mozilla wallpapers are stored? I wanted to set a wallpaper from Mozilla's menu as the desktop wallpaper on my laptop. I looked for hidden files and checked the forums, but I can't find them in the given locations e.g. my profile. Maybe these files are masked somehow. I'm looking for particular wallpaper from the abstraction category (screenshot). Can anyone tell me how to find it?

In other browsers when I add extensions, I can open an extension panel, or got the the browsers installed extensions section, and edit open up my extension setting pages, and edit them. For example uBlock Origin, but there are others. It doesn't seem possible to do such a thing with Firefox. Is that on purpose or is something wrong?

Hello,

It's been a while I wanted to try vertical tabs and now is is possible with FF. I was wondering if it is possible to merge the two top rows when using vertical tabs ? (The address and buttons row and the Windows, minimize, resize and close row).

When using horizontal tabs, the top row (minimize, resize and close row) is merged with the tabs row. But when using vertical tabs, you can a "useless" row that takes almost as much space as the horizontal tabs row, so vertical tabs doesn't make you gain that much browsing space.

Thanks

Hello

I was reading this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ai-chatbot

In the section: "Select text to see suggested prompts" there is a screenshot which shows pre-written prompts and a textbox from the shortcut for AI prompts menu. Is it possible to have custom promts which are added to this menu?

Thanks

Best
