Firefox Support Forum

I use to like the customizable buttons that could be placed inside the search bar before FF 89. There was a pin tab button, Add to Pocket, Email, Share, Add to Mac Notes, and a few other buttons. Have these been forever removed? Or is there a way to get them back? I specially liked the email button, the pin tab and the add to Notes.

Please look at the screen shot below. That is what I want to get back.

Thanks!

Is Firefox going to issue an update fix to correct the problem with not being able to G-mail after the update occurred? I am not tech savvy so if it is something process i have to figure out I guess I will need to switch to Safari. i don't want to do that as I have been with Firefox almost since it started.

Suddenly! Cannot open Firefox because of the error message: "Firefox profile missing or unavailable."

I found the profile in my Library.

Looked for internet advertised "Firefox profile manager," but could not find it. Only one I could find was obsolete.

Thank you.

As a programmer, I have need to use the CSS Level 4 selectors, but Firefox hasn't implemented them yet. Surprisingly, Safari has. I need this functionality <element>:nth-child(2 of .<class name>) for automation testing. Do you know if there is a timeframe when this feature will be implemented within Firefox?

I need the previous Firefox tool bar appearance to see what is there. I'm thinking Revert to Firefox 88, or return to the Ff 88 appearance of everything above my site display. Ff 89's lack of tab outlines and type face contrast with the background now make me have to squint and lean far closer to the monitor than with Ff 88. I'm actually thinking of changing browsers to deal with this amazing lack of testing on older eyes before such a major change in visual 'ergonomics'. I'm guessing everyone working on new Ff versions is below middle age, and have zero conception of the visual issues everyone faces with age.

Hi There,

Used to be there were three dots in the search bar, and when I clicked it I had the option of airdropping a website to my phone, which I found to be considerably convenient; especially if I want to text somebody a website or what have you, something I am browsing on my computer.

Is this no longer possible with the latest update?

Thanks

Where is screenshot button, send tab button, pin button and other in address bar? Firefox 89 is current version. I always used this button. How do I re-enable the buttons?

I just upgraded firefox on 6/7/21 and the tabs in the bar across the top of the widow have a grey background with no outline and are very difficult to read. Is there a way to get the previous appearance back?

After this update to 89, page I'm on magnifies to 500% without warning. This keeps happening and I don't know what I'm doing to make it happen. Very frustrating when you're playing online bridge and suddenly, you can't see the cards. How do I fix this? ( yes, I can go to view and revert to normal. But why do I have to do this at all?)

I just installed version 89.0, and I would swear that my top bar went from one bar (containing the tabs, the address line, home button, fwd and bk arrows, etc) to 2 bars (the top bar containing the tabs and the bottom bar containing everything else). Is there a way to put everything on one bar?

Subject says it all. "How to revert to 'browser.tabs.ontop=false' functionality in Firefox 89.x?" I hate the Proton layout where tabs are now positioned at the top. I want to revert to what I had before — via an add-on, I think — because the new style creates visual dissonance. I HATE the new style. I want a layout that does not do my head in. I do not care that someone(s) in the development team thinks tabs.ontop is better; it is not better for me.

I am facing a strange issue where the Browser doesn't load the website for a minute and shows server error. However, this behavior is not specific to any website and the server error shows randomly. Sometimes the browser loads the website normally while other times it shows server error. Please check this screencast: https://jmp.sh/jEu4D9k to understand better. So, I initially tried to open calendly.com and it didn't load despite my multiple reload attempts. However, when I tried to reload it after a minute then it came to life.

I have been facing this issue for many months and I tried almost every solution I found on Mozilla community pages like Resetting Mozilla, Setting No Proxy, Turning Off IPv6, DNS Prefetching Changes, Turning On/Off hardware acceleration, Uninstalled Mozilla and Installed a fresh copy, Changed to Mozilla Developer Edition, etc. but no luck. Please note that the other browsers are working fine and don't have any issues.

The new base system theme for FireFox is not accessible. I cannot visually tell when one tab shifts to another. Three's not enough contrast. There's no line that marks the shift from one tab to the next. I tried countless contributor themes and they're all lacking the same feature - a physical break between tabs. Fades on text are also not accessible. Please fix this issue!

Thank you, Nanette visual deficits in Minnesota

New theme is absolutely not contrasting. The font merges with the background, no separators are visible between the elements, although the tabs opposite are separated from the page. And a huge number of other annoying little things. You suggest choosing a different theme, but there are the same problems and an additional annoying background pattern.

Please make it possible to return to the classic theme and stop changing the interface and familiar controls. I am shaking from every update notification, because i expect everything will break again.

I also advise you to read reviews on news sites dedicated to this update. Many people unhappy with these changes.

I found a partial solution (about: config -> browser.proton.enabled -> FALSE ) problem, but as it became known, it will soon stop working.

I understand that FireFox a free product and I would shut up, but it upsets me that the tool that I have been using almost all my life has gone bad. And second, and even worse, the Internet is increasingly dominated by Chrome, remaining without competition.

A company who keeps sending messages I don't want. On the site I can't find a button to stop sending the messages, so I want to block this company...

I've lost all my history prior to the current date. I think yesterday too, I only had the days history and nothing else. This may have started with the new firefox update, but I'm not sure, I wasn't paying attention. It's not in my settings to delete history every time I close firefox. All my bookmarks are still there, its just a problem with my browsing history. It seems like the "recently closed tabs" keeps better track of the days history than my actual history tab. I'll probably lose todays history tomorrow. Not sure why this is happening~~ help

When Firefox is open, it magnify itself to over 500%, making it impossible to read full page, this happens on Firefox Browser, Opera, Google Chrome and Safari, No One, at any of browsers mention knows the problem, asking public for help please, feel free to look at screen shot when I search a name on Firefox, and Google gave me this, at exact size, Screen Shot can not be uploaded because NO BROWSERS can accept screenshot at 500%.....Error uploading image

Hi since I updated Firefox last night, I can't seem to use the search bar anymore, I'm talking about the usual one, the search bar in the middle of the page under the Firefox globe. As soon as I type the first letter in this search bar, it writes into the adress bar, and nothing is displayed in the search bar at all, it stays empty. It's like the only option I have now is the adress bar, the search bar is useless and though it's ok for an adress it is not for a proper research. I wonder how to sort this out. Thanks for your help !

Because of this terrible 89.0 update I've had to start using Chrome, and I hate Chrome. I cannot get any videos to play in Mozilla anymore. Youtube doesn't work, Tumblr videos don't work, Twitch videos don't work, even the Tenor gifs on Discord won't show.

Yes, I have cleared my entire history of cache and cookies for all of these websites, and it does not fix the problem.

Nothing will play. I hate this. Please, Mozilla, fix this so I can go back to using the browser I actually prefer.

If anyone else is experiencing this, or has found a solution, please let me know.
