Firefox Community Forum

I've looked at this page:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars

It shows the toolbar customization page like in the attached image I've named Customize Toolbar.

In my Firefox (138.0.1 64-bit on Windows 11), it looks like what I'm showing in the attached image I've named My Customize Toolbar.

I like the background shown in the Mozilla documentation. I hate the background I've got. I didn't choose that color. I have no idea where it's coming from. I sure would like to change that disgusting color to white.

How do I do that?

I had a Firefox update yesterday, April 29th. Since then, my Bookmarks sidebar no longer opens automatically when I open my Firefox browser. I have to go to the sidebar icon at the upper right of my screen to open the Bookmarks. I went to my settings, and the box for automatic opening was not checked. I checked the box, and it still does not function. Any ideas as to what the problem is, and what the solution could be?

'bold text My updated version of firefox does not have my bookmarks, will not print all pages, will not allow to select print in color, will not display images in downloads only text.

Hi,

In my Firefox Developer install the new tab groups feature seems to now be working like one would expect, but my main Firefox install (Firefox desktop 138.0 (64-bit)) has some issues.

I can add tab groups, add tabs to groups, but left mouse clicking the colored tab header does NOT close the tab group, like it does in Developer browser. Mode of tab group clearly changes, as the tab is either dark or light colored after a mouse click.

I don't remember changing any other settings lately in about:config, except setting tabs.groups feature to true, and I don't have too many extensions installed, and I also tried disabling all the extensions, but that didn't help.

Is there a way to remove the thumbtacks and rounded edges off the shortcuts in the newest version?

I love Firefox otherwise, but the thumbtacks look terrible and are distracting. I use the shortcuts dozens of times daily to open my most frequent sites.

Please remove the thumbtacks and overly rounded edges in the new version.

Is there a way to hide the thumbtacks?

I would like to be able to view the names of tabs and the address bar. I am able to adjust the page views and all is well there. I do not want to use stronger glasses just to view the tabs and address bar and then switch to another strength of reading glasses.

I use Firefox Beta on Android. Recently there was a change so that a second bar appeared on the screen. I have the URL bar at the top of the screen, and suddenly a second bar appeared at the bottom of the screen with back, forward, tab and new tab buttons. I got used to this and really liked it. However it has now disappeared. I am wondering if there is a setting which I can use to get the second bar back, but I don't know where to start looking. Is there changelog for beta releases which I could look at to work out what this bar even was?

Thanks.

Lately I've had to reload/refresh pages more frequently because of download issues. In order to the in FF I need to press the F5 key. To do the same thing in either Edge or Chrome all I need to do is right click and a little popup screen shows me the reload/refresh right there. Much more convenient to use. FF should use a similar technique.

I use translation A LOT. (I'm learning a foreign language.) It would help to be able to move or resize the results window. Right now, it covers the original foreign language text. I want to compare the translation with the original text and the fixed size and position of your results window makes that a lot more difficult.

The Password Manager is very good, but...

It needs two additional fields.

1) a field for a website name or a note.

2) a 2nd username or email address.

For example, I just added the login information for Bluesky Social. However, "bluesky" is not part of the url. If I later search for "blue" the correct login will not be shown.

Also, the login allows for input of a username or email address. The PW manager should store both.

It seems to me that Firefox's DoH implementation is not just pointless but actually harmful. It is security theater. Let me explain:

• There is no fine-grained control
• There is no ability for the user to choose what level applies to what networks
• Default Protection provides no protection when there is a canary domain (trivial)
• Increased Protection provides no protection when the default provider fails (trivial)
• Max Protection requires manual intervention when the default provider fails
• Bonus: it's inconvenient or impossible to use on mobile

For DoH to be useful, the user has to invest effort they could better spend setting up a proper system-level solution.

Hello dear,

Please add "read pronunciation English and French" extention to browser Android.

Hi there,

I enabled the new tab groups feature the other day - having used it in Chrome on my work computer, I know how useful it can be.

However, it doesn't seem like there's any way to collapse tab groups and just leave them as like a square to be opened and closed just by clicking on the tab group? Am I mistaken here? Every time I try to click on the tab group to close it, the tab group just changes color (i.e., goes from blue background with white text to blue text on a white background) and none of the tabs are collapsed into the group (i.e., they just stay on the tab bar, and I'm shifted to a different tab).

Is this happening for other people? Is this what is supposed to happen? Is there some setting that I need to enable? I've tried seeing if it's conflicting with any my add-ons, and I haven't found anything just yet. I'm awfully confused, so I'm hoping someone can help explain what might be amiss here. Thanks in advance.

I found the tab groups more annoying than useful, so I went into about:studies and removed it, but doing so just makes a study entirely disappear with no way to bring it back if you misclicked, so that made me wonder, is removing studies permanent? Is it impossible to opt back in once you've opted out of a particular study?

I'm not particularly regretting my choice in this case, but it made me nervous how easy it would be to lose access to a feature just by accidentally clicking the wrong thing.

I would like to use a custom provider for the integrated AI sidebar.

My provider is Azure and I do have an endpoint for chat and it requires authentication with API key.

Is it possible to set the API endpoint as provider and provide somehow the API key to Firefox to use it for authentication?

P.S. the API key needs to be provided with the `api-key` header or the `Bearer` token if using OAuth.

Thank you.

Greetings...

I am a frequent user of multiple tabs whenever I use Firefox. As a result, the new Tab Groups feature interests me, primarily if it will help my to organize and manage my multiple open tabs. Initially, I have the following specific questions.

Q: Is there a maximum quantity of tabs that a Tab Group can contain?

Q: Is there a maximum quantity of Tab Groups that can be open at the same time?

Q: Does the use of one or more Tab Group negatively affect the performance of my web browser?

Q: Can a Tab Group be bookmarked? (Periodically, I need to bookmark a group of open tabs and I am currently able to do so by selecting all of the tabs then bookmarking them as a set.)

Q: Does the new Tab Groups feature represent a way to reduce the number of open tabs that appear at the top of my web browser - basically, a way for multiple open tabs to occupy a smaller space versus scrolling them across the top of my web browser?

Thank you very much for your feedback! Take care...
