Hello,

It's safe to say that Mozilla is not heading in the right direction, with each FF release things are gradually getting worse and worse (example: the removal of the search bar ENTER key function, and the recent change of terms that allows mozilla to harvest user data through FF). Optimally, the user would be allowed go back to an older release, but with downgrades come the loss of profile ... etc, which is why I chose to simply stop updating FF completely. Not an ideal situation, but there's no telling what else Mozilla is going to f up in the next hour, week or months.

I thought my troubles were over, except there's now the added nag message, it shows up every few minutes, every time i start the browser, even starting private browsing window will activate the update prompt message. it's tedious having to press "dismiss" 20 times a day, the message itself imposes on page content, and can't be disabled by clicking outside the message box. I've already went into configuration, and activated the silent update message option, but to my amazement, the message came back again in a few hours, and the option was flipped back off.

how do i get rid of this message once and for all? and before mozilla staff clarifies how stupid it is to turn off updates, i understand the risks of my own stupidity, i just don't want to put up with mozilla's.

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 couldn't find a proper category for this. Why does Mozilla make it hard to figure out where to report a bug? And then once you find where you need to be, they force you to create an additional login (something EVERYBODY wants to do more than necessary) to actually report the bug.

Yay, just what I want to waste time doing. I was hoping I could create another useless account somewhere with a new username and password to fill up my password manager with more junk. Thanks Mozilla!

Brought to you by the UI designer who thought it would be a good idea to remove all semblance of separation or delineation between individual tabs. This guy probably defiantly refuses to shave a break in the unibrow he got teased for mercilessly in high school.

(btw my browser is Firefox Nightly) Don't get me wrong, I love having vertical tabs. It's less busy than the horizontal tabs and I can look through my tabs more quickly. But, the way it's implemented sucks - It makes the layout of the webpage pop anytime I use it; there is no keyboard button attached to opening and closing the tab (I have to go through my horizontal bar to open my vertical bar); and recently my browser forgets the sidebar settings, meaning I have to re-check the "Hide tabs and sidebar" setting.

Bonus request Can the sidebar just go over the webpage (i.e. like the application menu) instead of squishing it? I'm ok with having some webpage features temporarily covered if it means I don't have to see the screen pop into a new rectangular shape every time I switch tabs.

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?

This is a suggestion on how to delete Bookmarks Unfortunately when backing up bookmarks, then restoring them, this results in many duplications. To be effective there should at least be an option whether or not to accept a duplication. Otherwise the result, in reality becomes unmanageable.

To overcome much of the effort just select what is superfluous and use the Delete key.

An organized Bookmarks menu (using folders) can really make the Internet a place to find anything later that has value in the moment.

I've been using Library techniques for over 40 years. Microsoft's Favorites were my first introduction. Hopefully FF will tend to be very similar. What now exists is difficult to use in a number of ways.

Since the last update to 136, home screen shortcuts are awful. Icons are smaller, but that is not the main issue. Biggest issue is the text below icons: I do not need it, it just confuse my view, so since this morning I have missed 3-4 times my favourite sites! It is not good. Please consider rollback the look from previous version, now I have to downgrade Firefox

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?

I recently decided to try vertical tabs in Firefox, and can't find a way to search these tabs as I could when they were horizonal, with the downward pointing arrowhead. If this is a feature, please let me know how to add it to my sidebar, and if not, it would be great if this feature could be developed. Thanks!

Greetings

It has been 5 years since Chrome introduced tab grouping. Meanwhile, the devs decided to start working on AI instead of getting this done ASAP. My workflow is completely dependent on Firefox so I can't simply change to another browser, the extensions available are not useful for me and I really miss this feature. Since this feature appeared on Nightly I've installed it and my experience just got a lot better, however, Nightly is just too unstable for me. Therefore, is there any way that I can cherry pick from Nightly this one feature that's totally working to my stable Firefox build through the browser itself without having to go to git/source code?

I really wouldn't like to wait another don't know how many years so they can get this done. I guess that my question would also be useful for other features that people are interested, that were already developed and that haven't been released yet.

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?
