Since the last update, my bookmarks sidebar does not open automatically when I open Firefox. A minor annoyance, perhaps, but an annoyance nonetheless, especially since it used to work until Firefox monkeyed around with it unnecessarily.

Every help I've found gives the same answer: Make sure the Bookmarks Toolbar is checked "Always Show." Well, it is checked, it was never unchecked, except that I tried unchecking and rechecking it in the vain hope that it would jumpstart something.

Is there any way to fix this? Or is it cursed forever?

Hi. I'm still new to Firefox and don't really know the settings very well. I recently switched over to using it and realized that when I use most drop down boxes the background of the drop down menu is black, but the text is white and the selection box (when you hover over the item) is also white. Making whatever I'm hovering over very hard to see. I'm wondering if I have a strange setting turned on or not?

Settings wise I have Firefox set to dark mode, not the auto. But when I use the auto it still happens. Trying it in safe mode it still happens. Iv tried to research this a little myself. And read something about the proton setting and turning that from true to false. But this also did not work.

Is there any way to fix this? I just need the text to be a different color or the selection box (when you hover over it) to be a different color.

Attached are two screenshots of what I'm seeing

Just purchased a new desktop that came with Windows 11 pro installed. I don't like it. Also having to start from scratch is annoying having to redo all the fixes to Firefox I did on the old computer anyhow.

The attached shows the Toolbar drop downs and what I have done to get rid of them of course the "Show an image preview when you hover on a tab" does just that but the description box (see attached) is still there.

OK I have Firefox 134.0.1 (64-bit) as mentioned Windows 11 pro Any help please and please keep in mind I don't understand a lot of computer speak I am 69yo but can do a bit.

Basically title.

Every time I close the browser and re-open it, the favicons disappear. I use the favicons to navigate to websites on my bookmark toolbar, but they're missing from my regular bookmarks, too.

I found an old thread that appeared similar, and the solution was to take a working copy of the favicons.db file and re-import it if it breaks (while the browser application is closed). However, this did not work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This concerns the display of bookmarksto the the left of the main display. Fot the record, this is installed om Magea Linux, vers 9, from the OS repository, and is Firefox vers 140.4.0esr ( 64-bit). Up until recently the display was variable in width, and once the box for 'show bookarks' was ticked, the bookmarks display opened in any new ;Firefox' brought up. With the two new features, I have a pair of niggles. One, is that the new sidebar, being fixed width, cannot be reduced. Taking up more screen 'Real Estate', that I consider would be better utilised for the main panel. The other niggle, is that ticking 'Show bookmarks' is not permanent and has to be re-ticked, for any new Firefox' display. I have another machine running the same version of Mageia. I opened this today, and it, while still showing the same version of Firefox, displays the old version. Perhaps, since the Mageia support section have not yet.sent a prompt for update. My query, is. Is it possible for me to return to the old style display, or is there a setting that will do so. The new display, having several options, is possibly an advance. But, for me, bookmarks display is paramount.

Firefox mozilla recently updated, now the bookmark side bar has made the fonts dark on a dark background, now unreadable. How do I change the fonts back to white on a dark background?

Why is this font so small, I have tried everything so much so that I have the about.config on my bookmark tool bar, I have tried the extensions that do not work, zoom makes everything too big, increase the font on my desk top. When I go into the about.config ....To increase the font size in the Firefox address bar, you can modify the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx setting in about:config or edit the userChrome.css file to apply custom CSS rules none of this works. as you can se from the picture the font is SUPER TINY!!! I have changed the setting on my computer for the desktop also and nothing.

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; }

Web pages that are supposed to contain emojis are blank. I can highlight where emojis are supposed to be shown but the actual images of the emojis aren't there. about:config font.name-list.emoji correctly contains "Apple Color Emoji" If it is relevant, this has been a bug/issue that has persisted for a couple of months now (can't name an exact date).

Is there any person out there whether from the FF Staff, Developers, Community or End-Users who know how to resize the latest grotesque FF Interface of the latest download version 136.0.1? All my extensions have disappeared. The side bar is too wide. Both the Tools and Menu bars are grotesquely wide.

What is the point in Mozilla FF asking for Feedback End-Users, Community, to Contribute. if it is not going to take on board their views?

Please, do not leave this matter just to the public to deal with, You FF should deal with it for it is your product.

Good day everyone,

I have been breaking my head over this for about a week. After the last update that was installed, now my tab width is smaller than the minimum width I have set them to. However, this only happens with active tabs from pages that have an embedded video. At first I thought this was just a thing with YouTube, but it seems it also happens with other video sites. I guess it may be related to whenever the playback button displays in the tab title and it detects there is video content.

I would like to know how to fix this behavior so that my tabs are no longer shortened beyond the minimum width setting.

Thank you in advance.

After the 145.0 update when I start Firefox both the menu bar and the top bar with the exit icon are missing. This is the first issue I've had since using Firefox when the new revision was in the 20's. Per some quick Support research, I press F 11 twice (NOT once) to restore the screen to include the top bar with exit icon and menu bar with my Windows task bar showing (as normal for the past 2 decades). When I close out Firefox in less than full screen mode and then start up Firefox again, it properly includes both the top bar with exit icon and the menu bar. HOWEVER, if I close Firefox in full screen and then restart, I am missing the top icon bar and menu bar... again. Press F11 twice and the bars are back to square one. HOW DO I FIX THIS SO I DON'T HAVE TO PRESS F11 TWICE ON EVERY STARTUP TO RESTORE MY SCREEN?????? WHY DID YOUR RECENT UPDATE CHANGE MY SCREEN SETTINGS?????

Is there a way to change the size of the sections in Firefox? For instance, I don't need so much space for the listings of Inbox, Sent etc. or the Tabs but would like to have more space for the web pages themselves. I ask because I've got a sight impediment and have to increase the text size. This means that the web "window" (Sorry, don't know the correct terminology) is so big that I have to scroll down to see it.
