I've been seeing this more and more, but my toolbar will change by itself every restart. The add tab button will shift all the way to the left or not appear, the bookmarks won't appear, etc. I'm not sure what can be causing this, and I saw no way to "save" my current configuration other than pressing the done button upon using the custom toolbar, which I had done every time prior to fix my configuration. Does anybody know why this is occurring, and a possible fix? Thank you

On Win11.64, I noticed some weeks ago Firefox refusing to automatically open sites. I’ve also sites telling me that JavaScript is disabled. But javascript.enabled = true, in settings. I’ve renamed the folder to Firefox.old, and installed a fresh copy—though then ported bookmarks, etc. Same issues. I’ve cleared the cache. Same issues. Firefox in Private Window mode works fine. Any kindly help would be appreciated. Thanks

Firefox went through a pretty major change recently. i could see I had to change my toolbar customisation back to how I wanted it. However, I have about half a dozen add-ons controlled via icons on the browser, but all the icons are gone and I see no way to get them back.

I don't care about cookies Cookie Editor Disable Javascript Tab Auto Refresh uBlock Origin

Until the recent Firefox update I could switch these add-ons on or off whenever I wanted via icons on the menu toolbar. I now see no way to get these controls back.

For some reason I can't seem to disable the "List all tabs" button that appears on the top right corner of Firefox anymore.

I have the about:config setting "browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled" set to "false", but the button still shows up all the time and it is pretty distracting from my usually clean Firefox interface.

Does anyone have a solution to permanently remove that button?

Hello, how can I remove or hide "List all tabs" btn?

Set "browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled" as "false" stopped working for me after update to version 131.0. Hiding the btn before version 131.0 was not a problem.

I saw in release notes that "List all tabs" got some changes. link

How to shrink this vertical space? (see attached image)

Ever since 131.0.0 my shortcut icons got all messed up so I am trying to restore the original look. I've already removed the giant Firefox logo and made my icons larger. Now I need to condense them so I don't have to scroll to see them all.

Here's what I have so far in my userContent.css:

/* Minimize the size of the logo and wordmark on the Home/New Tab pages */ @-moz-document url(about:newtab), url(about:home) {

 .logo {
   background-size: 0px !important;
   height: 0px !important;
   width: 0px !important;
 }
 .wordmark {
   background-size: 0px !important;
   height: 0px !important;
   width: 0px !important;
   margin-inline-start: 0px !important;
 }
 /* Expand the shortcut icon images to max size on the Home/New Tab pages */
 .top-site-outer .tile .icon-wrapper {height:100% !important; width:100% !important;}

}

Seems like the newest Firefox update (131.0) changed the way my Home Page (on the new tab) looks. WHY??

Now there's a giant logo taking up a fifth of the vertical space, forcing me to scroll to see my shortcut icons. WHY????

Oh, and the shortcut icons are now spaced farther apart and are significantly smaller. WHY????????

I set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.logowordmark.alwaysVisible to false but the logo is still present.

Please revert these changes. Or, if someone could provide me with some tips on how to edit the userchrome.css or whatever, that would be great.

Hello.

My problem is that in new versions of Firefox (from 115) there is no way to enter numeric values ​​using the mouse wheel. The browser simply scrolls the entire page. In older versions this problem does not exist.

I tried to compare the settings about:config but did not succeed. There must be some parameter responsible for this.

In fact, they force you to update by deprecating certificates, but it is becoming more and more difficult to use :(


I'm attaching a screenshot. It should be: When you scroll the mouse wheel, the numbers change (like in older versions) It is in fact (Scrolling the entire page and the numbers need to be entered on the keyboard)

I hope I explained clearly what is needed.

Thank you in advance

Shouldn't a "resize" mouse icon appear when I hover the mouse at the right edge of the search field in my toolbar? It doesn't appear anymore after I accidentally clicked on "Restore Defaults" in the bottom right corner in the "Customize Firefox" menu and then "Restore" again and restarted Firefox again. Is this a new Firefox bug? :/ I already tried in safe-mode too

I haven't upgraded browser versions for a while and I'm now going from 109 to 132. Pretty bad I know.

I'm having a number of issues but for this post I'd like to concentrate on userChrome.css.

In version 109, I had a custom font for the top menu bar, the top menus, the bookmark toolbar, the bookmark toolbar menus, and the right click menus. I did this by including the following in userChrome.css (as per [https://support.mozilla.org/si/questi.../1335097|here]:

  1. navigator-toolbox { font-family:"MyFont" !important }

This worked great, but it is no longer working in version 132. Obviously I don't know in which Firefox version this stopped working.

Has this been disabled by Mozilla or has it been changed? If it's been changed, how can I achieve it now?

I'm very grateful for any help!

There are 4 toolbars at the top of the Firefox screen. The default order from top to bottom seems to be:

 Menu bar
 Tabs bar
 Navigation bar
 Bookmarks bar   (which Firefox apparently calls "PersonalToolbar")

I would like to move the Bookmarks bar above the Tabs bar so the order is;

 Menu bar
 Bookmarks bar
 Tabs bar
 Navigation bar

I tried to use ChatGPT to accomplish this. After well over 6 iterations, I gave up (ChatGPT was still going strong - hallucinating?). The only code in userChrome.css that accomplished this is shown below. Unfortunately it leaves the order as:

 Bookmarks
 Navigation
 Menu
 Tabs

Can a human expert help me where ChatGPT failed? ___________________

/* Move the bookmarks toolbar above the tabs */

  1. navigator-toolbox {
   display: flex;
   flex-direction: column-reverse;

}

In the previous version of Firefox I could install a multiple language keyboard layouts in the upper right row. I had to reset everything with a new HDD and Ubuntu 24, which comes with Firefox for Linux as well. Now I can't find how to install those shortcuts that I had before. I need to use Slovenian, Italian, Spanish, German and US keyboards (UK is standard with UK English as primary choice). Thank you for your help.

Hello

Recently I've upgraded from Kubuntu 24.04 to 24.10. I'm almost sure that the minimize/restore buttons were available in my Firefox after the system upgrade. For the last few days I can see they are missing - please see attached images.

I can partly fix the problem by going to Settings->More tools -> Customize toolbar and selecting "Title Bar" checkbox. In that case I have the title bar displayed with all 3 button (minimize, restore, close).

But I would like to have the default behavior: title bar is turned off and the mentioned 3 buttons be visible in the tab bar.

How to have those buttons in the tab bar when the title bar is turned off?

I'm visually impaired and had originally used a CSS code to fix this problem, but that was a couple of years ago. I just upgraded to 131.0.3 (64 bit) and evidently, that wiped out all my CSS changes. I tried to use the about:config code to change it, but it no longer works. I managed to increase the icon size a little by changing the density to normal, then back to compact. Even on normal, it was all too small.

I don't want to use another profile, because every time I do, I lose so much that it takes me hours to reinstall it all.

Is there an easier way to do this? I've tried a couple of things suggested online, but they were old settings suggestions, and they no longer work either.

ALSO, I now have to use F11 full screen to be able to perform anything on the toolbars. Before this update, I could just move my cursor up to bring the toolbars down, and use the back arrow or refresh easily. Now, the toolbars immediately go back up and I have to use F11 to do anything. How do I fix this?

TIA for any help you can give me.

Is it possible to remove the border/frame lines around the Menu Bar and the Context Menu in Ver. 131.0.3 to make it look like Ver. 100.0.1.?

Experimenting with userChrome.css only seemed to change some things such as background color and padding size of the context menu, but as a css noob it’s no surprise it didn't work when trying to remove borders, remove margins.

Attached is a screenshot of Ver. 131.0.3 (upper) and which parts of the menus I'm looking to customize or revert back to the style of Ver. 100.0.1 (lower).
