Clicking a tab to activate it often just closes or mutes it by mistake because the area is so small.

Just make them the same size as on the top bar. It doesn't matter if the text is vertical.

I'm using Mac Catalina OS, version 10.15.8, and the latest version of Firefox as my browser. How can I increase the font and icon size on the Firefox toolbar?The existing font size is too small and hard to read. Going to about:config and clicking on "accept the risk and continue" plus typing "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" doesn't seem to work for me. 'Simply put, I need clear instructions that allow me to resolve the aforementioned problem.

I have already turned off the 3 or 4 different types of firefox suggestions in the settings. Did they add yet another one? I can't find anything about it in the settings. How can I be sure I never get a pop-up suggesting any sort of wallpaper again?

I have just moved from an old laptop to a newer one - a Lenovo Thinkpad. I have installed Linux Mint and successfully transferred my files and Thunderbird. I also synchronized Firefox and all my add-ons, bookmarks and history came across perfectly. While setting up the toolbar from the customise screen I dragged the home page button onto the toolbar and it just disappeared. The home page is set up in settings. It appears the first time I open a window. I would like to be able to go back to my home page at will, how can I re-instate the home page button?

I've tried troubleshoot mode and the problem remains, I have no idea what I did and I've spent a good hour of research and found nothing to help with my problem, I'm at the end of my witts. The problem is most visible with google docs, but it goes beyond, like these huge lines in the corner of boxes like the one I'm typing in now (see screenshots).

Somehow I managed to set it so that my bookmarks appeared on the left side. I spent an entire hour trying to restore them to their original position at the top, but I simply couldn’t find any setting for it anywhere. Neither Gemini, nor ChatGPT, nor Google Search gave me a useful answer.

I don’t consider myself a stupid person, but I was genuinely on the verge of tears when I finally slammed my fist on the desk and uninstalled Firefox.

The only company I can think of that could make a user interface even less intuitive is Meta.

Toolbar disappears while choice is playing. Bounces in and out of visual without staying locked on and visible. I won't want the tool bars to EVER disappear from screen when Firefox is playing, except for home page.

I have this problem on 2 computers and also on all Mozilla software like Firefox, Thunderbird and also Libre Wolf:

When saving a file and right clicking the file menu window, e.g. for creating a new subfolder, the context menu looks empty, like in the 1st screenshot. It is expected to look like the 2nd screenshot.

Blurry text in tabs

Hello,

Ever since the last Firefox update (on October 30th for me), the text on my inactive tabs has been painfully blurry (picture attached). I previously restored Firefox to default and seemed to have pinpointed a certain extension as the culprit, as well as a file within the profile named addonStartup.json.lz4. Deleting both seemed to have done the trick. However, my issue is now back, I can't find the previous file anywhere in the profile, deleting all the files in the profile that were created on the day when the problem reoccured doesn't fix it either. So I'm kind of at a loss. I have tried to set "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_for_families" to "Arial,Consolas,Courier New,Microsoft Sans Serif,Segoe UI,Tahoma,Trebuchet MS,Verdana" and "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_max_size" to 15 in about:config ; as this is an old fix I've seen for an older similar problem, to no avail.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Why aren't my CSS changes in FIrefox's Browser Toolbox being applied to the browser UI anymore??

Hi, I’ve been having a really weird issue with Firefox’s Browser Toolbox and I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what’s going on. I’ve been using Ctrl+Shift+Alt+I for months to select different parts of Firefox’s UI and change their CSS colors in the Rules panel, and it’s always worked fine for me. Recently, though, my CSS changes stopped affecting the browser UI like they normally did. It seems to happen with different parts of Firefox, including the toolbar, sidebar, and about:preferences.

I’m not very experienced with CSS, so I’m not even sure if the way I’ve been doing this is still correct or if something changed with Firefox recently. I’ve already tried restarting Firefox and reinstalling it, including trying Firefox Developer Edition, but the issue is still there. I also made a completely new PC account, installed Firefox there from scratch, and tested it just to see if the problem was somehow specific to my account or setup, but the exact same thing happened there too.

I’ve tried asking on Reddit’s Firefox CSS community as well. Only two people replied and they both gave me suggestions, but unfortunately neither worked. I’ve also privately messaged people asking if they could give me a guide or help me figure out what I’m doing wrong, but nothing has really helped. I even reported it on Bugzilla, but I still haven’t gotten anywhere with it.

At this point I’m honestly pretty confused and frustrated because I’ve tried so many things and I still can’t figure out what’s causing it. I know it’s not a huge issue, but I really enjoy customizing Firefox, and it sucks opening it up and seeing the boring default UI when I know I could customize it before.

Fractional scaling does not work

Hi.

I'm using Firefox 153.0 on Fedora 44 with GNOME 50. Everything is up to date at this date. I know that Firefox is supposed to support fractional scaling on Wayland since version 146.0. However, it does not work on my device.

As you can see, the first screenshot is when Firefox is in fullscreen mode. Fractional scaling seems to work and the text and picture are very sharp. However, when I resize the window, it looks like Firefox does not support fractional scaling (see my second attached screenshot). The text is blurry and not as sharp as when the window is in fullscreen mode.
