Firefox Support Forum

Hello everybody!

I just updated my firefox to the newest version - and I absolutely hate the new design. Is there any way to "keep" the newest version, but have the older design?

I know that installing the version before the design got updated would be a possibility, but for various reasons I would like to avoid doing that - at least if there is any other option. If not, I'll just have to do that I guess.

Help would be very much appreciated!

Greetings

I exported my bookmarks from the Brave Browser, selected Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks>Import and Backup>Import Bookmarks from HTML Then navigated to the HTML file the selected "Open" but noting changed except that a small number of the bookmarks appears under "Recent Bookmarks" when I again select Bookmarks. Each item in this list is repeated according to the number of times I tried to import them.

Hi, I accidentally DLed FF88 without checking the details w/r/t functionality.

Several of the changes severely compromise my ability to use FF for my job.

Examples are the 'view image' which is now gone from right-click and replaced with 'open image in new tab' --this disrupts my work flow. And 'save image to pocket' etc is not useful for me, but happens to be right where I normally click on another function.

Is there a relatively seamless way to undo the FF88 'upgrade' ? TIA

Since your last updates I have not been able to play hd video on Amazon prime. I also can't play any videos on Peacock(6000 error code) and who knows what else I haven't come across yet. Please fix, I hate throwing away good money on poor playing videos. Thanks for your time and efforts in the matter.

IndexedDB takes over 15 minutes to load after opening firefox. Why does it take so long?

Refer to the following websites to check if IndexedDB works in your web browser. I prefer the first one. https://testdrive-archive.azurewebsites.net/HTML5/newyearslist/ http://www.onlywebpro.com/demo/jquery/indexeddb.html http://nparashuram.com/trialtool/#example=/IndexedDB/trialtool/index.html

So I got updated to version 89.0. I'm not entirely sure why we have to keep doing this. It looks different. Does it look better? Not really. Does it do something new that the previous version didn't do. Not that I can tell.

What it does do is scroll really badly. It's very jerky and it's giving me a headache. The previous version scrolled smoothly when I used the laptop's touch pad scroll section. (Like a wheel on a mouse but for a touch pad.)

I don't know why we have to keep "improving" things, without actually improving them and breaking what did work.

Is there any way to fix this? Other than Google Chrome?

How do I check if hardware acceleration is turned on whilst under recommended performance settings? Remember that I want to keep the checkbox ticked. Is there something I should be searching for on Troubleshooting Information or about:support ?

Format of Firefox changed today for some reason. I'm no longer able to forward URL's found thru firefox by email. Even the firefox webpage looks different. June 1, 2021 KEN B>

Hello, I had just recieved the new redesign of Firefox on my system and so far I am loving every bit of it.

However, I am a person that frequently opens many, MANY tabs and likes to keep them organized by draging them around on the tab bar. Since the new redesign I can no longer move my tabs around or open new windows by detaching tabs. Is this on purpose and supposed to have been a "feature" with the redesign? I have tried reinstalling firefox as well without success in fixing the issue.

Is it possible to set up Firefox so that during the night it uses a dark theme and during the day a light one? I haven't been able to find any dynamic theme setups

Hi, Firefox search bar is not letting me type search term in it, defaults to address bar. The only way i can search is to put search bar in next to address bar. Has this other search bar been disabled or is it a glitch after the update? If anyone could help that would be awesome.

Cheers

Hello Guys, So yesterday I got the color selection thing popping up on my screen and I accidentaly selected white mode but I wanted dark mode. And now I don't know how to get back the color selection, because can't find it anywhere. Anyone know where I can change my color again?

The Firefox 89 menu bar is now defaulted as light gray. I had it set up to display dark colors from Windows desktop which made it easier to read the menu bar items. How do I restore this. My Firefox settings are unchanged with the system theme enabled and the attachment shows the setttings for colors display for all apps including Firefox.

If I open a new tab the whole application will freeze but video will still play in the background so the actual browser hasn't crashed, so to speak. Everything else on my terminal is fine, I can open everything no problem and continue with my business. Sometimes it will solve itself and sometimes I need to kill the application. It's nothing to do with resources. I've recently upgraded my laptop and I did not experience it on my old one. I have an i711 so the CPU is more than quick enough to handle the processes and 16GB of RAM, so memory is not the problem either. As far as I can see, it is do with Firefox. The add ons I have are all approved by Mozilla so I would assume they're not the problem either.

This hiccup only occurs when I open a new tab and it is not consistent and difficult to predict when it will happen. It's like the laptop doesn't have the available resources to open up the new tab- but it does, more than enough.

I had a look through the help articles and couldn't find one that applies to my situation. I will try to capture it the next time it happens and post the screenshot.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I just downloaded and installed the latest update for Firefox and I hate it. The browser top bar is white and none of the tabs is readily readable. I looked to find a way to darken the background, but nothing changes that white bar. Please like Windows allow a "classic" setting that retains the older look.

Is there a way to use older look without downgrading the whole browser to previous versions?

In my opinion the new design is an absolute eyesore. None of the themes available even resemble what I liked about Firefox. I always adored this browser for simplicity and clarity, but they completely overdid it in the current version.
