If I don't use the custom adjustments in my Chrome css, seven buttons on that right side of the menubar are hidden, including the min-max close buttons.

This is problematic when I'm troubleshooting Firefox, and the css is disabled. If I want to close or take the browser out of max mode, I must move those buttons to the navbar, which has no such restriction accommodating those buttons, not to mention why is it necessary for that min-max close trio to monopolize 20% of the menubar. Waste of space. Inefficient.

I'm also curious why must that frame at the top of this sites pages remains persistent, and follows the user down the page, so that when you're composing, and accidentally (and all to often) touch one of those links, it get superimposed over the message, and you must move the cursor to the bottom of the page get rid of it. Not to mention, that frame shrinks the working area of the page about 30% vertically.

I mean, once you have already navigated to the destination page, and you're composing, how often/likely are you going to need to access that area?

Is there a setting for Firefox to display scrollbars in 3D?

Very often it happens to me that I'm not able to tell whether I'm at the beginning or at the end of a document. The scrollbar colors displayed by Firefox do not provide enough distinctive information to tell. (See images attached.)

From the 80's 'til the 10's we had 3D scrollbars with outset borders giving the impression of a raised scrollbar … for a reason.

Is there a setting to have Firefox display 3D scrollbars on Windows?

I am experiencing a weird scaling issue on one of my monitors with Firefox. The whole firefox window looks as if it's scaled to high resolution mode. Not just zoom of the content, but the whole window, including the title, toolbars, etc.

Note that only happens on ONE monitor (I've tried this on total 6 monitors now), and it happens only on one Firefox Profile. If I use a new profile, the issue is gone. However, if I copy the profile folder to the newly created profile, the issue comes back.

Here is a screenshot of the two windows opened at the same time on the same screen. Right window is normal, and the left window is the scaled up version.

I don't want to re-create my entire profile if I don't have to. Does anyone know what kind of setting/feature did this and how can I revert it? Since it does not happen on a different profile, and is replicable by copying the profile settings, it must be some kind of a firefox setting somewhere.

The bookmarks (ctrl B) no longer directly accessible

Hello there,

Before (an update perhaps?), it was possible to click on a star icon located in the toolbar and it'd open the bookmarks like the bookmarks1 screenshot. Now, it requires to first click on the sidebar thingy, which allows to access the icons on the far right, which includes the bookmarks icon in question.

There's also another icon for bookmarks that can be put directly in the toolbar (bookmarks2 pic), yes, but it doesn't show all the bookmarks right away, it's not the same

So the question is: how do I do to get the Ctrl B Icon/shortcut directly in the toolbar, like it was before? I don't want to be obligated to use the sidebar when I have plenty of space left in the standard toolbar..

Thanks in advance!

After update to 141.0.3(64bit), sidebar comes with waste space, as pink area in attached image.

It didn't shows in these years I'm using FF, I want to remove it but keep sidebar exist, like it was before. Where can I adjust it ?


If it's needed to be exist, why not put it on top of Sidebar ?

Accidentally removed extensions button. Want to add it back (for 3 add-ons within that button). Icon not in "customise toolbar"

After my bitwarden add-on failed me, I remembered ChatGPT helping me with this another time - but I got it wrong. I right clicked the extensions button (I have 3 add-ons falling under that button) and removed from tool bar, thinking I could then reinstall it and the Bitwarden issue would rectify.

Instead, the extension icon disappeared, and is nowhere to be located. ChatGPT wants to do some reconfiguring but surely there's a better way. I have looked in "customise toolbar" (ie, right click toolbar, click customise toolbar and look for the icon" - but the puzzle piece icon is not there.

Surely I have hidden the puzzle piece icon somehow and I need to do some sort of magic to make it reappear... Have never had this issue with Firefox previously.

I am on Linux Mint 21.2, and I just updated Firefox (141.0). Now, the bookmarks bar, toolbar, and the tabs (everything above the displayed page), as well as the menu, bookmarks menu, and sidebar, are in light mode even though I have dark mode set (They were dark before the update). I tried playing with the Dark Mode settings to no avail. My system is set to dark mode in general. Are others experiencing this? Is there some sort of fix?
