I stopped using Firefox because whenever I use it as a browser I get pop up ads I am unable to get rid of. Very annoying. If I use Chrome I don't get the pop ups. Firefox was my browser choice for many years but can't accept the annoying pop ups. Is there help? Should I delete Firefox and reinstall it? Thanks, Ron

New firefox... the tabs are dreadful - all have the same white background with no border so it is very hard to find a specific tab that you are looking for as they all blur into one. Can I change?

Even worse is that the search bar in the centre of the screen no longer works on firefox - the search is automatically redirected to the address bar - why?? what purpose does this serve? it means I can't use firefox for internet searches.

Is anyone seeing this? The volunteer moderator (supposedly a top 10 mod) derails my thread with a point which i had already made in my original post, then i respond TO HIS DERAILMENT BECAUSE HE IS A MOD, so he calls it derailed and locks the thread.

I have no response to my original question, no further knowledge, no solution to my problem, and now, a complete lack of authenticity or faith of the entire organization now.

And a locked thread with no response.

How is anyone even taking this organization serious?

If they cant even do this basic function of interaction with users, do they really even have anything authentic? privacy? security?

I have a folder of bookmarks on my bookmarks bar. Previously when I expanded the folder, I could see all of the bookmarks on my screen, with a good bit of room left on the bottom.

After updating to Firefox 89 (Windows), the font size is so large that when I open the folder, the bookmarks are cut off on the bottom. There's now a scroll arrow so I can see them all.

How do I get the font smaller again so they once again all fit on my screen? I'd like to avoid changing any other font size or zoom settings other than bookmarks.


Thank you!

Is there a way to use Firefox without a tab bar or any tabs showing? In the past it has been possible to do something like untabbed browsing and maybe have several windows on the task bar but no tabs. the new tabs and their bar are pretty large and take up alot of space on the screen, I've tried several "themes" and none seem to restore the utility of the older view. Thanks.

Today I opened Firefox and BOOM, the entire user interface had changed. My bookmarks no longer showed on webpages, and they aren't on my toolbar anymore? The top bar had become rounded and Google Chrome-esque which is kind of the #1 reason I switched to Firefox. Is there ANY way I can revert to the old UI where the tabs were rectangular and my bookmarks showed up on every page?

I just want it back the way it was a week ago! The new tabs suck and look bad. I loved how it looked before, with everything square and outlined. I'm 19 and grew up with iPhones, so I'm not just saying this because I am a boomer. How do I revert the update?

I specifically said "LATER" to a button that said I could switch to the new browser format -- but the OLD FORMAT is changed on my browser !!!!

One of the changes is that the lines in any of the drop downs from any of my tool bar choices are now ALL DOUBLE SPACED - they used to be single spaced. This is HORRIBLE, it is so unpleasant to work with!

Is there ANY , please ANY, way to change these back to the old single space layout ? I have a lot of lines in my drop downs and now I have to scroll and scroll and scroll !!!!

Thank you for any assistance !!!

Update question: Today I got an update window and I tapped Do Not Install but apparently it did anyway. Now my open tab handles are not delineated like they were, the typeface on them is harder to read, general appearance things that don't seem to be controllable in preferences.

With FF 89 on MacOS the behaviours of the new tab page and address bar have changed. Previously I turned off search in the address bar preferring to do searches on the DuckDuckGo site which I set as my new tab page. Now, upon typing into the DDG search control focus immediately shifts to the new address/search bar. I want the old behaviour because I prefer to keep these functions separate. How do I do this?

Thanks in advance.
