I cannot make fire fox work at all.for me. I need the file, edit, history, bookmark tool bar back. I'm pleading with you. Please I BEG you to uninstall the upgrade. Please let me have the Firefox I had last week. I,m 88 and will die before I ever!!!! i can't make anything work.I have over 5,000 bookmarks. I write for a few dollars to partly support myself. Right now I'm out of business. Where is the invisible email address? I have been using FIREFOX since it came out. i can't go through your circus. A browser should have a high degree of instinctive coordination, it shouldn't be similar to experts cryptic calculus level, when your totally unfamiliar with the level of calculus I'm sorry, I won't be able jump through hoops..

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.

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.

Thanks, Rod Goslin

Does the recent update Firefox 137.0 retain the separate address bar and search bar? One of the things I hate about MS Edge is that there is no separate search bar. Have not been pleased about the small size of the Firefox search bar the last few years. The user should be able to size it at will.

After the update on the 14th, dark mode has gained weird stylistic choices that I cannot find a way to alter: namely, when closing a new tab, a white box with black font appears -as opposed to the previous darker toned grey/purple with white font. However as of writing this post, I notice that dark mode is not working on this webpage. Seeing as I have an extension enabled in addition to the basic dark mode selection in Firefox settings, I can only imagine that something was broken in the update. Please advise, the change is jarring.

Have never liked the bright orange Firefox icon, it's too dominating on my desktop, I LOVE the older brownish firefox icon, it's just right. So every time you come out with a Firefox update I get out "Resource Hacker" and change the icon to the older one, pictured below. I mentioned this before, asking if you could just give that option, and didn't receive a response. You come out with so many updates, it's a hassle changing the icon every time, but I'm willing to pay the price to escape the distracting bright orange icon, but now suddenly Firefox won't let me alter the icon in the exe. Was wondering if you'd have any suggestions. Have used Firefox exclusively for decades. Thank you very much.

My firefox on my Mac will not open in full screen mode. It use to open in Full screen, but now no matter what I do when I close it out then try to reopen it, it opens in half screen mode. I set it to full screen mode in the setting but no luck. I tried deleting it and re-downloading it. I tried every tip online but nothing works.

I want to hide the "Search with Google" option from the right-hand menu in Firefox. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me if there's a way to do this. I previously came across an article on how to hide Firefox using userchrome.css, but I can't find it anywhere. I don't use "Search with Google," so I want to hide it.

Google told me to go to About.Config, find "browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon" then change the value to false. But, at least in my version of FF, that doesn't work because browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon isn't listed. I'm running 142.0.01.

I know FF is trying to please all the wonderful teenagers who want to constantly screw around with software settings. But it would be really nice if such new "features" were not turned on automatically.

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.

Hello, when many tabs are open, the mute button takes up almost the entire tab. When I go to a tab, I get to the mute button... https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2025-03-01-03-07-42-491a45.png Is it possible to remove this function on the tab, but leave the sound icon itself? So that when I click on the sound icon, the tab is switched to instead of mute?
