Please allow me to preface with I do not know how to code at all and I have found some options to make the scroll bar disappear, but with coding, and I'm hoping for an option that takes that away easily.

I don't think it is any of my extensions causing this, and I don't think it's an option in Firefox to remove the scroll bar.

Please help if possible! It doesn't disappear even when I'm watching videos on fullscreen.

Thank you.

I enabled switch to tab for google calendar but now I can't get it to stop. I found this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1272327 and opened the pad lock and removed the switch to tab permission. But it is still doing it. I also tried going into the site settings and permissions and there the "Switch to this tab" is set to the default of Always Ask. I even tried blocking all notifications on the site but it's still switching to it and it gets really annoying.

make the dark mode come up in dark mode.

Even this page of yours is light not dark. I is not dark, but the mode is set to dark and the add on is set to dark.

if you cannot solve this then take away the dark mode that you pretend to have.

perhaps i should remove the dark mode add on, and use just the firefox built in one only. currenly both firefox and the firefox addon are set to dark and it keeps changing google.com to white when google settings are set to dark, then firefox turns off google dark mode and makes it white.

the version data you state below is correct. 107.0.1 win 10

it is now time to give up on firefox and use edge since their programmers are trained and professionals. your programmers can be anyone, which in fact make it the least secure browser. after 107 versions you still don't get it right. you don't really have a dark mode you should actually test your software.

google is my homepage and its setting is set to dark mode, but when firefox which is also set to dark mode always google comes up immediately in white mode and the google setting has been changed by firefox to google's white mode. stop changing google's mode, you do not have the right to do this. if I open a second tab it may up dark, it is not consistent.

First off, this may be a duplicate, I entered my data then went to alternate page to extract config file, returned, pasted info, and submitted. I then got block indicated required fields not filled, this field and the 2 above, so please forgive me if it is duplicated.

Problem: I have the top menu enabled, and also auto-hide my tab bar. The latest update 108.0 64 bit has caused my tab bar to slide up into the menu bar when 'hidden', basically mixing the 2. This even occurs with only a single tab open. Makes it tough to access menu items going around the tabs. Addons are Ad Blocker Plus, Privacy Badger, Disable HTML5 autoplay, Forecast Fox Fix, and Ugly Email.

Every time I launch Firefox it creates 12-13 instances of Firefox along with one each for Chrome and Console.

I don't need that many instances. Typically I have no more than 3-4 tabs open.

Is there a Configuration setting that I can change to reduce the number of instances to 5 and greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to launch.

I am running Windows 10 Pro V21H2 at current update level. I have a custom made tower with 512GB SSD and a Core2 Duo processing running at 2.93 GHz with 8 GB Ram. Firefox is V17.0.1.

Hello! I've created a custom theme in firefox color, and I'm getting an error trying to upload it to the add-on developer hub. I downloaded the .xpi file and tried uploading it, but it only says Your add-on failed validation with 1 error. Received an empty response from the server; status: 403 I'm wondering how I can fix this, or how I can at least find my design that I saved within firefox color. I clicked on save, but when I tried making a new design in firefox color, it removed the old one. Now I'm having trouble finding my creations! If anyone can help I would appreciate it greatly :) Thank you. And as you can tell I am new to firefox color.

Hello!

I recently updated Firefox, and it took me to a page where I could create my own browser theme, and while I was on that page, or just after it, I accidentally enabled a light blue polka-dot theme. I didn't mean to do that, because I liked the theme I had, but I cannot get it to stop automatically showing this theme. When I go to themes and extensions, it says I have a completely different theme running, but it's not the theme I see.

I disabled it, and shut down Firefox, and when I first restart the browser, it shows the non theme, but then quickly goes back to having these polka dots.

I liked the gradient I had previously, and I am wondering how I can get that back, since my current theme is not even showing as actively running, so I can't figure out how to stop it.

Thanks!

Am I wrong when I came to the conclusion that update 108 brought visual changes? On one PC I have version 107.0.1, and on the other I updated to 108 and the appearance changed, after which I decided to remove this version and immediately install 108. I did not change the default theme. The rest of the colors suit me. I'm using a userChrome.css file and have enabled its use (toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets - true).

I am wary of installing any theme because it will surely look bad somewhere else. So I want to do without it.

This is what 107 looks like: https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-12-14-15-16-03-c4ca42.png

And here it looks like 108: https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-12-14-15-16-22-c81e72.png

Hi, I've recently accidentally broken and had to reinstall some packages on my computer & as part of that firefox has changed how it displays the drop down menu (File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help Menu bar) It now displays on the top bar of the screen - where the title of the page is - but only appears when I move the cursor over it. See 2nd attached image.

Is there any way I can get it to go back to being permanently accessible below my tabs as it was previously

Also, for info as much as anything: I've found https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-menu-bar-firefox but it appears to be out of date as I cannot get any option to show 'menu bar' in the way it suggests. See 1st attached image

I'm on firefox browser 107.0 x64 Ubuntu 18.04 x64

Thanks

How do I set a Custom URL fora new tab under: "Settings - Home - New Tabs and Windows"?

Under "Home Page and Windows", there is a "Custom URL" option, but NOT under "New Tab". There is NO "Custom URL" under the drop-down list, only "Firefox Home (Default)" or "Blank Page".

I want to be able to set the default URL Home page when opening a new "tab" (as well as when I create a new window. For example, when opening a new tab, I want to set the default Home page for the new tab to be Google.com.

I am running a PC with Windows 10 and the latest level of Firefox.
