I get why the domain is highlighted, and it's good! But the rest of the URL can be hard to read, especially with dark themes (see screenshot, taken of this page's URL bar, using the default Dark theme). I have tried to find a dark theme with better contrast, but haven't had any success.

Is there a setting that I can change to set the font colors or contrast between them?

Hello Mozilla Firefox Support,

I am experiencing an issue with my Firefox browser where my Firefox home page appears very blurry. This has raised some concerns for me about whether something may be wrong with my browser or if my Firefox security may have been compromised.

I would appreciate it if you could help look into this issue or provide guidance on what might be causing the blurry display on my home page. I want to make sure my browser is secure and functioning properly.

Please let me know if there are any troubleshooting steps I should follow to resolve this problem or to verify that my Firefox browser has not been compromised.

Thank you for your assistance.

Could you make a shortcut to switch on between "dark mode" and "bright mode" in the mobile app browser + pc desktop browser?

There are enough webpages that don't show correctly in dark mode. It is not convenient to change the dark mode each time in settings!

Thank you

Firefox reports that my theme is dark no matter what if I set it to _Automatic_. This results on any website that follows the CSS rule to prefer system theme to also be in dark mode. The only way I can get Firefox to use _Light_ is to manually select that option.

I have observed this behavior on MacOS Sequioa and also Tahoe (after a clean install). Other browsers I tested (Chrome, Safari) are not impacted by this behavior.

I use Firefox for genealogy research because it always keeps track of which pages I've previously accessed since their hyperlink will change color. Today, I ran Microsoft's PC Manager software and it suggested clearing the cache of Chrome and Edge. For some reason it also must have cleared the cache of Firefox since the previously accessed hyperlinks are no longer a different color. Since I had a created a restore point this morning before installing PC Manager, I restored the system to that point. Following the restore, Firefox would not open so I re-installed it from the website. I had previously backed up the profile folder and so copied that to the new profile folder of the fresh install. My bookmarks and history seem to be fine but I still don't see a color difference in the previously accessed hyperlinks. Any suggestions on how to get them back would be greatly appreciated.

Recently, something happened to my installation of Firefox (I do not know what happened) causing the search suggestions (I do not know the proper name of this feature, but if I am right I will be glad) to appear taller than they were before. This disturbs me (I do not know why). I would like to return the individual search suggestions to their original narrower size.

How do I remove the .svg fox image from error pages?

The recent update 149.0 introduced a new look to the error pages. Every single time the requested URL does not exist, a page's servers are down, or your internet is turned off, it shows an image of a fox biting a power plug. The image is no-connection.svg located in omni.ja (chrome://global/skin/illustrations/no-connection.svg). Such a location rooted in the files cannot be zapped by uBlock Origin. I tried to replace the image inside omni.ja using 7-zip, but it can't do so because the Mozilla Firefox folder is Read-Only, and keeps turning so despite me unchecking the Read-Only checkbox in properties. I tried looking for a variable in about:config, toggled svg.disabled from false to true, it didn't help. My goal is so that only text appears on error pages, and no images, like it was in the previous update. Ideally I would like to have the option to completely eliminate corporate artwork from my copy of Firefox. Help would be very much appreciated, because Firefox is my favourite browser by far

When opening the "Show all history" window (command Y) the text is garbled. I have checked the font book and there are no duplicated and I have validated all fonts. I have tried using the troubleshoot mode and occasionally the text is rendered correctly but mostly it has no effect. There is no other location in the browser where the text is garbled. I have tried changing the text in the advanced settings and both performance settings are disabled.

I am using the latest version of Firefox, and the scroll bar only appears when I place my mouse over it. Then I have to use arrow keys to scroll up and down the page, and it disappears very quickly. Once the scroll bar disappears not even the arrow keys work. Is there a way to turn the scroll bar on so that it is always on and does not disappear? I need to be able to scroll with both the mouse and the arrow keys any time I want to without moving the mouse over to the scroll bar. The disappearing scroll bar is incredibly annoying, and I cannot find a category for it anywhere in the settings menu.
