Firefox Community Forum

Hi! Recently firefox got updated with new design and it looks good but the only thing i hate is how rounded it looks like now. I dont really like that my whole browser is just that much round now. Can i get back to cubes with rounded corners somehow?

I use containers all the time

But I'm struggling to see which one is which with the new outline icons. Can you give an option (or just bring back) the solid colour icons please?

Clicking a tab to activate it often just closes or mutes it by mistake because the area is so small.

Just make them the same size as on the top bar. It doesn't matter if the text is vertical.

Current sidebar default width with open tabs (ie bookmarks etc) is excessive, so I did the normal dragging to narrow it. Problem being that opening new window it goes straight to the default width. Shouldn't it stay at the changed width?

I'm using Mac Catalina OS, version 10.15.8, and the latest version of Firefox as my browser. How can I increase the font and icon size on the Firefox toolbar?The existing font size is too small and hard to read. Going to about:config and clicking on "accept the risk and continue" plus typing "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" doesn't seem to work for me. 'Simply put, I need clear instructions that allow me to resolve the aforementioned problem.

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'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.

The top row in Firefox browser doesn't have any tabs, it looks as pictured in screenshot (Chrome below for comparison). I only see the icon and text for a page, but that isn't enough to know clickable area, and it makes it unintuitive.

I tried several browser themes but none of them changes this. There doesn't seem to be a setting for hardware acceleration anymore that used to solve it for some users in the past based on a search on topic.

Maybe this really is how it's meant to look but the design just went backwards from what we want to see; tabs are no longer tabs but something vague. Can never please everyone i suppose, but i want old back.

Switched back to grey top-bar and noticed that when using star to save/edit page/link is grey like rest of the bar, but when saving/editing link with mouse, it's still pastel

Why? I want them both grey.

The whole point of the container tab colors is to be NOTICEABLE and instantly recognizable so you can find what you're looking for EASILY and assign new tasks to the correct grouping. I'd ask whose dumb idea it was to remove the colors from the tabs, but everything is apparently slop coded now. The icons are also now stupid, too washed out to be helpful, and I want the WHOLE TAB to be the correct color, not that stupid tiny line across the top. Do the slop-jockeys actually use this software? Because it appears either they don't, or have no idea how people work in real life. These are useless.

In the new update, the gradient is mandatory which is okay fine, probably will be themes that revert that, but tabs are floating buttons.

It's not the end of the world, but it's something that is both completely illogical (since they're tabs, they're linked with the window below them — they are TABS, like in a pocket phone book or office file), and visually confusing.

And they're now even more weakly highlighted (there is in fact NO highlighting, only a tiny outline), it's difficult to discern which tab is active. It was already a bit hard on dark themes in recent versions.

I think these are not just knee-jerk reactions, like "make it like it was", although I admit there is a part of it there. But even taking a step back, how does this improve the experience? I can't see which tab is active, the coloring is non-uniform across the wide window so it's even harder, and the tabs do not connect to their window.

Hi, I’ve been having a really weird issue with Firefox’s Browser Toolbox and I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what’s going on. I’ve been using Ctrl+Shift+Alt+I for months to select different parts of Firefox’s UI and change their CSS colors in the Rules panel, and it’s always worked fine for me. Recently, though, my CSS changes stopped affecting the browser UI like they normally did. It seems to happen with different parts of Firefox, including the toolbar, sidebar, and about:preferences.

I’m not very experienced with CSS, so I’m not even sure if the way I’ve been doing this is still correct or if something changed with Firefox recently. I’ve already tried restarting Firefox and reinstalling it, including trying Firefox Developer Edition, but the issue is still there. I also made a completely new PC account, installed Firefox there from scratch, and tested it just to see if the problem was somehow specific to my account or setup, but the exact same thing happened there too.

I’ve tried asking on Reddit’s Firefox CSS community as well. Only two people replied and they both gave me suggestions, but unfortunately neither worked. I’ve also privately messaged people asking if they could give me a guide or help me figure out what I’m doing wrong, but nothing has really helped. I even reported it on Bugzilla, but I still haven’t gotten anywhere with it.

At this point I’m honestly pretty confused and frustrated because I’ve tried so many things and I still can’t figure out what’s causing it. I know it’s not a huge issue, but I really enjoy customizing Firefox, and it sucks opening it up and seeing the boring default UI when I know I could customize it before.
