Is there a way to change the app name on the title menu bar on Macbook. "Firefox Developer Edition" is too long and takes up valuable real estate. I tried going into about:config, pulling up the browser.display.titlebar and editing the name, but doesn't change anything? Thanks for your help!

Every time I go to install an OS or reinstall (especially on my laptop), I am happy to see everything sync as intended when I sign in... Except for the darn cookie deletion exceptions. I have a rather long list of websites for which cookies ARE saved, while my global setting is to delete all cookies upon exiting the browser. This one thing does not get ported over. The issue has already been created on Bugzilla https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1662804. I would assume that the cookie-keeping-preferences are saved in _some_ file (which I assume, at least on Linux is accessible and modifiable). Could you perhaps point me in the direction of said file, so I can manually transfer over these preferences from my "master" Firefox install on my main machine?

Thank you in advance

I like the new consolidated tabs feature, can an indicator be added to show when sub tabs (web page links) have received notifications? For example: I get an email but don't know it because the colored tab doesn't indicate it. So I have to open all tabs to see which ones have new notifications. I have multiple emails, messages etc... within the main tab but no way to know if a message has been sent without opening the tab.

I absolutely love the new tab groups on Firefox. I am a lawyer and i keep a TON of tabs open at the same time. I might be working on a case, and I can create all the tabs related to that case together, come back to it a day or more later.

I also open up a zillion news articles every day. Some are fun (Fun Articles Group), some are about our declining society (Rule of Law Group), some are about AI (AI Articles To Save), some are Case Law I save for my internal library (Case Law to Save Group).

The problem I am having is that each of the Windows where these various tabs are kept is are not seen by the Tab Names. So, if I go to my pinned Taskbar icons across the bottom of my screen, and toggle across the Firefox icon, the many different labels that pop up are ONLY the tab names.

That is, there is nothing reflecting the Group name to which the tab belongs. I just spent all this time grouping my tabs together in separate windows, and when I want to go quickly to one of those Windows (each Window has a Separate Group Name in my personal system), I cannot tell which one is which.

So, my recommendation is that Mozilla designate in the taskbar prompted tab items which Group each tab belongs to (if it is assigned to a Group). It would make toggling between the tabs sooooooo much easier and efficient.

Additionally, I love that when I assign a new item/tab to a Group, it automatically groups them with the other members/tabs in the Group. However, after a certain point, it gets ridiculous. Perhaps there can be an option where you can separate the Groups into two or more Windows (eg Group named Case Law to Save, if I have 10 different ones open, put the 11th one in a new Window, instead of just adding another tab to the ever-burgeoning Window full of tabs).

Maybe I am the only idiot who has so many tabs open that these issues are a problem. But the mere fact that Mozilla created the organizational tool of Groups suggests to me that I am not the only one who keeps a lot of tabs open at the same time.

I have no idea how to suggest this improvement to them. I am not a coder. I cannot contribute in this way.

Thanks to those who contribute to the improvement of this product! Michelle

I just updated my Firefox app and it rearranged all my bookmarks. I would love to go in and resort them back to how they were before, but the only options I have on mobile are automatic sorting of alphabetical or chronological. I don't know if the manual sorting option was removed, but if it hasn't I'd like to know how to acess it. Thank you!

Now there is no "other" category for topic of question. This concerns display, layout, and functionality.

Having a huge problem with Firefox recently. It looks and behaves like Microsoft type display, security, and function all around has been superimposed on Firefox. Every time I need to do something online my effort is first redirected to trying to fix configuration problem on Firefox.

It is bad enough to have to do battle with windows 11 to config the layout and display so that it is functional instead of going from one screen to another and another when there is an issues that needs configuring, which always then requires a search and fixing it in Microsoft registry (if possible). Now that is happening with the Firefox display, layout, and functionality which requires a search try to find a page where some kind soul has provided a fix for FF via about:config (if possible).

My brower updated to 136.xx in mid-march after I had already disabled auto update. However, have not had problems until recently, so it seems to be something the microsoft system has started doing to compromise the configured functionality of Firefox. It is no impossible to update or change passwords because "microsoft security" has taken over. Did Microsoft buy controlling interest in Firefox, or what.

Today The layout has started being a problem too. Very elementary without features, with huge words and images although I have changed nothing in Firefox. It is as dumbed down and tedious as Windows 10 when it was brand new. I use a desktop and I really don't want it to look and behave with the limits, and appearnace of a large sized mobile phone screen.

No Firefox update since mid March is showing, however something is interferring with the Firefox display, layout, and functionality. I can only guess it is the Windows 11 OS . . .

Is there a way to protect Firefox from Microsoft meddling with the Firefox configuration?

I have not yet tried to stop enhanced security in each website that is a problem (though most of them currently are, not simply individual websites). Perhaps that is the problem . . . at this problem it needs to be universally disabled if that IS the problem. All the additional security being piled on is simply hoops to jump through for users. We all know it does not stop the pros who are intent on hacking as a team sport. I really do not want to have to fool around signing to a Firefox account, and getting a code to be able to complete the signin to be able configure the brower to simply access the internet.

Starting to think FF, including support, is being managed and responded to by A.I. - which always ends up being a programmer problem that creates the limits. Intentional or not is the question.,,,,

Hoping some kind souls have found solutions, or locations to solutions they are willing to share.

Thanks - from redirected and disenchanted in ABQ

I cannot see the text I highlight for copy or links so I don't know if it's copied or not- is there a way to adjust that? It's very irritating..

I have an iMac

I think it would be very helpful to the general user-base to have instant intelligent access to their information in a way that is sandboxed from the website that is requesting information. The only thing keeping me using chrome is the intelligent autofill. Many websites do not autofill. This issue is also present on firefox for android. Single sign on applications have difficulties on android as well when using mozilla password manager, as it does not get its secure "unlocked" status from the android system. This results in needing to unlock the password manager on the keyboard every time, often making the user lose the text field they had their cursor on.

'Show all bookmarks' is missing and I have tried the Ctrl+Alt+B option without success. I've already looked extensively on Firefox help with no success. What can I do to copy all of the bookmarks to a new computer? Thank you.

Is it possible to add a border color to the Bookmark popup menu using userChrome.css? I have search all over but it seems there is no code for adding the border.

Hi.

When I dragging a link over the tabs bar, I can drop it between 2 tabs; this will open a new tab for this link, which is a great feature. However if I (accidentally) drop it right onto an existing tab, that tab will be replaced with the new link; if the tab had anything important (could be a long, JS-loaded waterfall page), it will be gone. I have multiple bad experiences due to this bug/feature.

How to disable this?

Hi 🦊,

I love the new integration with AI chatbots in the Firefox sidebar—such an awesome feature! 🙌

However, I’ve run into an inconvenience: the logins happen in the default browser context, which causes conflicts between different accounts. For example, I use my personal Google account for OpenAI and my company Google account for Gemini, and I don’t want them to share the same context.

It would be amazing if I could assign a container to each chatbot, just like I can when opening a new tab. Even grouping all AI chatbot logins into a dedicated container or context—separate from the generic one—would go a long way toward solving this.

Thanks for the great work and for considering this!

I have tried the sidebar and it seems OK BUT the background colour is pale blue and the text on top of it is white. This means it is very difficult to read. How do you change either the background colour of the sidebar OR the colour of the text in the sidebar? I have tried the main settings (Manage Colours) for Firefox and found nothing.

OS: Linux Mint 22.1 Xia base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble Firefox: mint-001 -. 1.0 / 137.0.2 (64-bit)

When starting Firefox with a completely new generated profile, I still get following errors in the Browser console tool:

For example (see attachment): services.settings: UnknownError: IndexedDB: main/moz-essential-domain-fallbacks getLastModified() IndexedDB: The operation failed for reasons unrelated to the database itself and not covered by any other error code. Module: RemoteSettingsClient.sys.mjs:555

At this time using Firefox, I haven't configured a Firefox sync-account, to sync settings with the central stored profile on Firefox servers.

Solution: May it is helpful, that if a sync-account isn't configured by a user, these function calls should be suppressed by Firefox, in order to avoid these exception/error messages in Browser console. These error message are just irritating messages, as long as a sync-account isn't configured and activly used.
