Firefox Support Forum

I have selected the Firefox Alpenglow Theme (see attached). But if I close Firefox and then re-open Firefox, it reverts back to the 2nd attachment titled "New Firefox". I've tried using a different them, the same thing happens.

How can I keep the theme I want even when I close the browser and reopen it later?

I upgraded to Firefox v89/64bit. Now when I open a new tab Firefox forces me to use the address bar for searches. I can't find anything in 'Settings' that will let me change this. Maybe I've missed something obvious. Is there a way to turn this 'feature' off? Thanks in advance for any help provided.

In the old firefox, I had the opportunity to share websites and f. e. send them from my laptop to my stationary computer. I think there were three dots ... next to the url. But that is gone. I used that a lot for websites that I needed to print out (my laptop isn't connected to the printer's vpn).

What now? I don't think I can use pocket for that, since that saves all the websites, I just need to send them once.

With the new update, the new tabs take too much space for my liking, so i tried to enable compact mode via `about:config` by setting `browser.compactmode.show` to true.

For me, that setting does not do anything as you can see in the screenshot that shows 2 different user profiles as comparison. Is this setting already broken 2 weeks after the redesign or does it still work for others?

Can someone tell me why they have made it so that i can only search in the top address bar even while giving me the option to have an address bar above my website shortcuts?

I hope this is just a mistake, cause I absolutely detest this choice of theres.

Firefox 'new tab' defaults to a Firefox home page with a google search bar. See screenshot 1 When I try to enter a search item in the google search bar on the page it , searches in the address bar instead - even though that is turned off. See screenshot 2 Any tips on how do I keep the search in the google line on the page and not in the Address bar

FF89 looks great BUT something's missing. I click the 3 bars to bring up the menu. There used to be a choice "Open file..." that would open a pull-down menu of the folder where I keep a special set of html files, something I used every day, but it's gone now. I can still open the Windows file explorer, and navigate to that folder, but that's a few extra steps. I found a place to customize the toolbar, and "open file..." was there in the overflow menu, and I tried to move it back but it didn't come. It's not under More Tools either.

Cursor jumps to toolbar address window instead of staying on the Firefox home page search bar. I prefer to use the search bar, without seeing all the urls show up in a list that changes as I type. This change occurred just a few days ago, apparently when Firefox updated. I have selected Google as the preferred search engine. (there are many other unwanted changes, but this one is the most challenging to deal with)

How do I remove the search address bar at the top?

Up until a few weeks ago, I was able to type in the google search page which was located in the middle of the search page. Now there is a bar below my tabs where all the typed words go. Not a fan!

How do I make Firefox interpret my location as a non-qualified domain name properly when I type in a non-FQDN without dots?

For example, if I type "foo/home", I want to go to "http://foo/home", not to "https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=foo%2Fhome&ia=web". But I can't find any such setting.

Is there any way to change the background color of the built-in firefox pages (e. g. about:preferences, about:addons, about:config)?

I would like these pages to match to my custom color profile, which I made via Firefox Color.

I had an add-on that I used for capturing sections of my screen, but when the theme updated this morning it removed it. When I deleted the theme, my original theme and screen capture didn't return. How do I get it back?

The screen capture was located on the browser bar at the end in front of the star.
