I'm having an issue with background glare & reflection on 1 pc. I wear computer glasses & have tried several anti-blue/anti-glare screen protectors. Nothing works & I cannot move the pc because it doesn't solve the problem. Is there a way to darken the white color (more grey)? It might help with the glare - especially with the screen protector. The background image on my main screen is very dark & the glare is less noticeable.

Rather than have dedicated computers for Work and Personal use I have dedicated accounts on multiple computers. Up until now I have been using Chrome for Work and Safari for Personal. I have been having more and more issues with Chrome, so I am moving my Work configuration to Firefox. Unfortunately, I have found a MAJOR difference in behavior. In Chrome I have 9 tabs setup to open when I start Chrome (my Home Page), these are the tools I use in my job; Jira, M365, Zabbix, GitLab, Digital Ocean, and a bunch of in-house tools. I set these up in Firefox, so far, so good. Unfortunately when I open a New Window, as I often do when working a specific problem, I get all of my Home tabs and I need to go through and close them all.

So my question is WHY there is not a setting to enable Home Page separate from New Window? I did find this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1281079 but it does not really answer the question as to why we cannot have the same behavior as Chrome. I understand that the current design just calls the same New Window code whether it is the first Window or the 100th Window, but setting a flag in memory once the first Window has been opened and checking that flag to determine if the New Window needs to open all the Tabs should not be that large a code change. Note I said a flag in memory and not on disk, as that would be a performance hit.

My second question is whether the powers that control Firefox would be open to such a code change if submitted? I understand how Open Source works and features that the volunteers working on code want to see are the ones that get developed.

Thank you.

I need help making disappear the lateral bar but looks imposible, I have tried deleting this from customize toolbar but I still see it, I do not want it because it takes space from my really small laptop screen.

This problem started when I updated the laptop and I guess firefox also

Hello, Firefox is forcing the search engines into their strict safe search, which is hiding the results I am looking for. If I use the browser, for example Chrome this is not a problem and it lets me change it so I do not think it is a network problem, is there anything I can do, or you can do? I have included pictures of the Firefox and Chrome SafeSearch windows for reference. I'm afraid I can't really give you any data or anything, I'm not the best with computers so I will need help to find anything, sorry.

Some time ago Firefox got an update which made the browser really unintuitive. Back and forward buttons were placed on the right side instead of the left and the "+" to open a new tab disappeared.

I only have this issue on my home PC and laptop, but not at my work laptop for some reason.

How can i turn this back to the intuitive design?

All of a sudden my new tabs open in "desktop site" and print is tiny. I have to manually go to 3 dots at top right and select button to turn it off. I can't find a setting so my pages open in normal size.

I have to fill in reports for the same 762 customers constantly. I just updated to a new computer and all those saved address in my autofill didn't sync to my new pc. How can i mass upload the addresses back in?

I was hoping there would be an about:autofill or about:addresses text file i could copy the format from the few i entered and put the rest on the text file following the same pattern, if it exists but i couldn't see anything using about:about

Hi Team, I absolutely love the picture in picture functionality in firefox, but it has stopped working once I made a shift to just use the vertical tabs as one of the beta features.

Uh - there's no topic for bugs... need one of those.

Seems that somewhere along the line Sidebar setting no longer persistent. The problem is that after I use the sidebar to view history, dismiss it when finished and then close FF the setting that the sidebar should show history when it is opened is not retained by FF. So the next time FF is opened, the sidebar is not showing. When the sidebar is opened, it shows bookmarks rather than history.

This needs fixed. And while you at it make a configuration key for it in the about:config page. Seems simple enough. Ya know back when I started with all this PC crap in the 1980's things worked. Now, not so much. To much man-bun, java jockey pitiful python pirate for me.

Sad to see how convoluted this all got. All because no one can write good, low level code. Really sad.
