As described, I (changes being intended as temporary) changed the maximal size for the sidebar to open upon hover. Only when, at that length, I try to revert the change, the sidebar closes before I can "grip" the edge of the sidebar to shrink its length.

My issue is not that I cannot fix this change. My issue is that my change isn't permenant. I followed the standard steps of "Right-click anywhere on Sidebar > select 'Customise Sidebar' in menu > let Sidebar collapse > in 'Customise Sidebar' panel deselect 'Expand sidebar on hover' option > close 'Customise Sidebar' panel > pick up the RH edge of now stationary Sidebar by hovering mouse until the 'gripper' symbol (double-headed arrow) appears... drag RH edge of Sidebar to desired new max-open width."

The issue is that, after doing this, the sidebar reverts to taking up half the screen once I re-enable "Expand sidebar on hover" and reversing the steps listed above.

Any help would be appreciated! I'd rather not have to re-install.

i really need this colour switch pls. my firefox kept crashing with no explanation (maybe some extension i had, then deleted when the crashes began) so i had to reset the whole thing. now the appearance has changed. i had put back my background picture, witch was fine with me, but the text was black instead of white like it used to. and it makes me use firefox less. i think its something to do with the website contrast but I'm not sure.

On Firefox(Archlinux) i can't change website fonts. "firefox-151.0.4.tar.xz" https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=linux... can't either. Even though FF-snap and FF-flatpak can. How can i fix ?

Firefox is opening comments to youtube shorts in a popup window that covers the video. It should be opening to the side in a panel like on my other computer. I have no addons. I cleared cookies and site data. I made sure I have firefox set to open new web pages in a new tab. Nothing helps

I have added no addon's. I checked plugin's and there are two. Open H264 video codec provided by Cisco and Widevine content description module provided by google. I have no idea what these are or why they are there.

If I grab the vertical bar and drag it to the right, a gap appears between the sidebar and the web page. If I move it to the left, the web page covers the right side of the sidebar. In both cases the width of the sidebar does not change. I am on Windows 10 with Firefox Version 154.0.

I would be grateful for any help on this.

Hello I seem to have lost the ability to choose whether my bookmarks toolbar displays icons and text or icons only. At present I have icons plus 4 letters of text fading out. I want to return to icons only. How do I do this? Regards

I have just moved from an old laptop to a newer one - a Lenovo Thinkpad. I have installed Linux Mint and successfully transferred my files and Thunderbird. I also synchronized Firefox and all my add-ons, bookmarks and history came across perfectly. While setting up the toolbar from the customise screen I dragged the home page button onto the toolbar and it just disappeared. The home page is set up in settings. It appears the first time I open a window. I would like to be able to go back to my home page at will, how can I re-instate the home page button?

I have already turned off the 3 or 4 different types of firefox suggestions in the settings. Did they add yet another one? I can't find anything about it in the settings. How can I be sure I never get a pop-up suggesting any sort of wallpaper again?

I've selected a new themes in settings. But anytime I restart Firefox (153.0.1) the new theme doesn't appear and is replaced by a different theme (the same one each time). Not a serious problem, but annoying. Thanks for any help.

I have been using my userchrome.css for many years.

However, now Firefox ignores css style for all menu backgrounds after upgrading to v152.

Here is my current userchrome.css text: /*tighten drop down menus*/ menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu {

 padding-block: 1px !important;

}

root {

 --arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 1px 1px !important;

}

/* changed this block ----------------------------------------------------*/ /* #bookmarksMenuPopup hbox {background:#CD5C5C !important;} */ /* /Change highlighted menu text to any color:/ */ /* menupopup > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], */ /* menupopup > menuitem[_moz-menuactive="true"], */ /* popup > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], */ /* browsermessage,notification .notification-inner{ border-color: red !important;} */ /* browsermessage, notification{ background-color: red !important;} */ /* menupopup { */ /* -moz-appearance: none !important; */ /* background-color: #CD5C5C !important } */

1. bookmarksMenuPopup { --panel-background: #CD5C5C !important;}

menupopup > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], menupopup > menuitem[_moz-menuactive="true"], popup > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], browsermessage,notification .notification-inner{ border-color: red !important;} browsermessage, notification{ --panel-background: red !important;} menupopup {-moz-appearance: none !important; --panel-background: #CD5C5C !important }

/* other bookmarks */

1. menu_unsortedBookmarks,
2. menu_mobileBookmarks,
3. bookmarksMenuItemsSeparator{

display: none !important; }

/* hide Bookmarks Toolbar Folder */

1. bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu, #bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu+menuseparator {display: none !important;}

menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu { /* color of the text */ color: red !important; }

menupopup > :is(menuitem, menu):hover {

 background-color: lightskyblue !important;

} ((

menupopup:not(.in-menulist) > menuitem, menupopup:not(.in-menulist) > menu {

 color: white !important;

}

/* Global UI font */

• {font-size: 14pt !important;

font-weight: bold !important;}

However, now all my menu backgrounds (e.g File, Edit, Bookmarks, etc, see attached screenshot) are black with a see through background.

I would like to return to my original menu settings backgrounds. How do I do it please?

Thanks in advance.

Since the theme update Firefox won't show the correct minimize, full screen and close buttons icons

Firefox version:152.0.3 System:

 Kernel: 6.8.0-117-generic arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 13.3.0 clocksource: tsc
 Desktop: Cinnamon v: 6.6.7 tk: GTK v: 3.24.41 wm: Muffin v: 6.6.3 vt: 7 dm: LightDM v: 1.30.0
   Distro: Linux Mint 22.3 Zena base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble

I have my ... what do you call it? ... GTK? set up to widen the scroll bar when I hover over it. Problem is that it widens *before* the mouse cursor has moved onto the narrow bar -- it widens as soon as the cursor moves onto the territory that *will be* on the wider bar and thus, if there's a click button at the very edge of the page, it gets hidden by the expanded bar. Would it not make more sense to only expand the bar if the cursor actually moves onto it?

Information: I am using a custom theme, and rn im making some changes using about config mainly changing parfait.urlbar.results.compact parfait.window.borderless parfait.traffic-lights.enabled to true.

But my browser is unable to remember these and when i close and open it back up, it changes back to its old self where all of those are false. please help!

So Firefox total changed my browser design. It has taken over my full screen. My tabs are on the side now. There is no back or forward arrows to go back to the previous web page. The add-ons are no longer visible or accessible. And there is no way to close the browser without using the task manager.

I don;t know whether it is Firefox of Win 10, but I can't seem to reduce the amount of white space (or reduce the line spacing) when viewing websites. I'm at 80% size which is the best compromise between getting more information on a page, and legibility. Having a font which is darker or thicker would help as well, then I could reduce to maybe 60 or 70 %.
