My current version of Firefox is 151.0.4 (64-bit) & for the past 2 weeks or so every time I use the search bar to google something it triggers one of those "We've detected unusual activity from your network" requiring a Captcha. At first I tried all of the typical stuff [antivirus, vpn, extensions, etc...] to make sure that wasn't the issue. But as of yesterday & confirmed today I can actually go to Google's website first & do the search from there with no issue & no captcha.

So, whatever the issue is has to do specifically with doing the search via the search bar... for some reason. Is this a bug in the browser, or is there perhaps some setting that could cause this to happen in the about:config page? Though, I doubt a setting could be it because I've changed the settings I've changed now for years without causing this issue.

Firefox 157.0 has suddenly changed the entire window including menu bar, tabs and the general window area. It is fading the colour from left to right. Suddenly I'm dark grey on the left, but it's got a weird burnt orange fading on the right. I tried the Customise and it has themes and now I'm stuck with it fading from right to left. black to grey. I looked at all the themes section in Customise, but it offers absolutely nothing suitable. It looks like something is going wrong but it's only effecting Firefox.

Can anyone offer advise on how to reset to all one colour, no fading. Windows apps set to dark theme. It seems to ignored.

Any help is welcome.

Hi,

I'm autistic and I find the new design updates really, really disturbing and I need to change it back to the old design.

I read on the help article for reverting to older versions that it'd be better to ask if there's a workaround instead of downgrading because of the security issues, so yeah does anyone know how to revert to the previous Firefox design and maintain the current version of the browser?

By the new design, I mean the roundness of everything and the teardrop shapes for whatever's left.

I'm still gonna revert back for now but hopefully there's a fix I can use.

Issue persists on Incognito Mode and it goes away if I use different browser.

Since 2 days issue like this happened and it is retroactive meaning all previous conversations are also blank, all replies of chatgpt are blank except replies with image generation, those are fine.

Before you recommend me to do something please keep in mind that Incognito itself does not help.

I am able to share that chat, paste it in my firefox and page is blank. https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69f4b354cc188191a7959c2d443fed9d

I can use this adress on different browser and it works fine

I'm running Firefox 153.1 64-bit on Windows 11 Pro 25H2. I have a LOT of bookmarks. Possibly over 3,000. Somehow over time I've managed to create a LOT of bookmarks in the Other Bookmarks folder unintentionally. I need to move and merge those to the correct Bookmarks Menu and ideally eliminate any dupes. Everywhere I look for a process to accomplish this I seem to get a lot of "can't be done". Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks for any help.

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.

When I select text in firefox's built in pdf viewer, a menu with comment and highlight options automatically pops up. I haven't been able to figure out any way to turn this off. This is a problem because when I'm using the viewer at work firefox now puts this menu exactly over the next piece of information I need. (eg blocks the next row in a process log)

I am using Firefox 153.0.4 (64-bit). Windows 11.
