Why the h377 did firefox change the screen shot tool by removing it from the address bar AND delete the center search bar, along with changing the location of all my recent web visit from the along the bottom of the screen? This is annoying and unhelpful to pc users, I need these functions back like they were in order to us your site on my pc. I donot and will never use firefox on my phone. If these functions are gone, then I will have leave as well. Either that or remove the update from my pc and cease ALL further updates.

Up until a few days ago, whenever I opened Firefox a right-side sidebar would open with the bookmark directory - including all bookmark folders visible at all times. Now I can't find how to do that. Instead there is this awful hover feature that has a VERY clunky and time consuming way to find an individual bookmark. How to change back to the prior method? Can I revert to the prior version of Firefox? Thank you!

I am making another plea: how do I change the font size of the working bars in firefox? The Title BAR, the Menu BAR, the Tab BAR, etc. On my computer, they're minuscule, and I can't see them. I'm not a programmer, I don't know anything about code, so that limits the way things can be explained to me, or that I can understand. Several of you have been kind enough to suggest different solutions, but they all make things worse. I think I've screwed things up almost irreparably. I can barely recognize my browser any more. I've even tried to refresh Firefox, and that also made the situation worse. And now, every tab crashes constantly. Thanks to anyone who can help me solve this problem.

Recently a "gear" icon has appeared on the bottom left of my screen while using Mozilla. It relates to moving the tabs. I don't want to do anything with my tabs. How can I get rid of the icon? The icon reduces the horizontal screen space available. I have a small laptop so this small amount of space is important.

Thanks for your help! Cindy

I'm on a desktop using Windows 11. I apply Firefox updates pretty quickly whenever I'm notified one has been published. The last 5 or so updates have made my Bookmarks Toolbar disappear. Sometimes I'm able to retrieve is, and all bookmarks are still intact, but then the next update disappears it again. *Holding pleading hands to the heavens* Whyyyyyyyy?

Since updating to version 150 (and 150.0.01) my title bar is missing. Sure, I CAN get it back with F11 (2 times) but it is annoying to have to do that every single time I start FF.

There is no longe an option (to checkmark or remove checkmark) in the right-click menu to show the title bar. (it used to be an option) I want the option to have it there permanently, or not. It should be up to me, not some dev somewhere that does not like it.

Now that this update is in place, my 80% screen size now has a scroll bar on the right.

My second row of shortcuts is partially cut off. 67% screen size shows all shortcuts, but they are tiny.

Why is there so much empty space appearing on the home page (above "Firefox" branding)? I found no option to minimize this space.

I have a Dell laptop (Inspiron 16), with the scale of the screen set at 125%.

TIA!

Is there a way to increase the size of the scroll bar on the right side of the browser?

I don't know why any browser never seems to allow for this. I hate using the mouse wheel to scroll down webpages and always use the scroll bar on the right side. Problem is most of the time it's way to skinny/narrow to be practically used and the bar you use to scroll it up and down - especially on long pages - is so tiny as to be completely unusable. It may not be an issue for tweens who still have eyes like hawks but for older people, like me, it's a pain in the tuchus. I'd like to be able to increase both the size - width mostly - of the slide rail and increase the overall size of the slide bar you use to control it.

Thanks!
