Hi!

Is it possible to hide the address bar entirely when entering full screen. When I use Safari I have the option to hide everything except the page i am looking at, this makes reading manga really nice and distraction free.

Obviously I'd prefer to use Firefox so I was wondering if this is possible in settings or is a planned feature in the future.

Thank you for your help.

I would like to swap the order of the first 2 items on the Bookmarks Context Menu - that is "Open in New Tab" should be second, and "Open in New Window" should be first.

I'm able to do this on the "regular" context menu with the following code...

#context-openlink { 
   order: -1;
}

But I cannot find the correct selector for the Bookmarks Context menu (see attached image).

I have tried code (to no avail) such as the following...

#placesContext-openlink { 
   order: -1;
}
#BMB_bookmarksPopup-openlink { 
   order: -1;
}

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

I mean, the tabs size are already bothersome that if you have multiple tabs open it's annoying you can't read the title of the page on that tab. So, you change it manually to size 200 instead of fabricated install as 76.

Who makes sure to change these to different size?

Tab width size config browser.tabs.tabMinWidth

Now, on the latest version, it shrinks on multiple tabs.

WHO IS AUTHORIZING THE RELEASES? I MEAN, DO YOU INTENSIONALLY MAKE ERRORS AND RELEASE THEM?

How can I disable the huge Firefox logo appearing on the top of the default home tab? It is enormous and takes up valuable space. Instead of having four neat rows of shortcuts which all show on a new page (like it used to be) that page looks terrible now. I have tried everything formerly recommended to others asking the same question (about:config, proton, etc.) and nothing works. My current version is 136.0.4 (64-bit). A workable solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

On some websites, such as scratch.mit.edu, the fonts have been displaying as Burbank Big (a font i recently downloaded) instead of the regular font. This happens on other websites that don't use Helvetica Niue as well, so i'm stumped. I checked the styles panel in inspector and it showed the correct names, but when i hovered my cursor over it, it showed a preview of Burbank Big instead. What do i do to fix this?

I have 2 computers, both with Linux Ubuntu. All of a sudden one of them is missing the File toolbar. It was there this AM but gone now. I looked through the menu and couldn't find where it is that you add the toolbar. On this computer, which has that toolbar, you go to 'view" and there is an item for toolbar. But on the other there are none of those menus and I can't find where to add that toolbar.

Hello Since few weeks (maybe on firefox 132 already, but surely on firefox 133) I observe issue with my firefox UI. While grabbing and holding tab (to change its position, move it on bar), whole tab bar gets thinner which realigns my whole UI. Issue is probably caused by my custom userchrome.css but I need it in current or similar form. Maybe there is some css specialist who can help me remove unnecessary parts of code?

My css is as follows:

.tab-background{ border-radius: 0px 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; } .tabbrowser-tab:not([selected=true]):not([multiselected=true]) .tab-background{ background-color: color-mix(in srgb, currentColor 4%, transparent); } menupopup > menu, menupopup > menuitem{ padding-block: 3px !important; min-height: 0px !important; }

root{

--arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 2px !important; }

Reference: Firefox Desktop 139.0.1. See the attached image. What does the overlaid blue (cable with plug?) icon mean on top of my Grid Overlay bookmarklet? The overlay appeared after the update to v139.0.1 (desktop) on Arch Linux. And only on top of my bookmarklet. In case it's relevant. The bookmarklet consists of JS that injects some HTML in the rendered webpage and then beckons my grid overlay. Self developed to overlay my own web layouts.

Until recently (like last week-ish) My Bookmarks Sidebar ONLY showed bookmarks. NOW, within the past few days the "bookmarks tools column" has been added to the screen-view. I have removed the 'tools' but the 'blank column' remains and takes up noticeable space on my laptop screen. How can I remove that 'column' ? Was this caused by a recent firefox update OR a win-365 'auto-update' ? Attached pic of screen - Here at the LEFT side is the 'blank column' with the 'settings Gear' at the bottom of the column. That is the column I want to 'Remove'.

I am running with ubuntu 22.04.5 (linux)

I am trying to reduce the width of a panel which is on, say, firefox home. I can easily change the height of a panel (just put the mouse on the edge of the corner or top of the panel. However, when I put the mouse on the edge of either side of the panel nothing happens. I want to reduce the width of a panel and I cannot. Should add that the mouse turns into a resizing thing for all panel - it just doesn't work when trying to change width)

Thoughts?
