Some time ago Firefox got an update which made the browser really unintuitive. Back and forward buttons were placed on the right side instead of the left and the "+" to open a new tab disappeared.

I only have this issue on my home PC and laptop, but not at my work laptop for some reason.

How can i turn this back to the intuitive design?

Please please make it so that when closing Firefox with the X button in the top right will have Firefox remember the tabs that were open. There is an option in the settings but it seems since a recent update that this function only works if one quits from the hamburger menu. This is not how I would like to have it be. please save the session when closing with the X button in the top right of the screen. thank you. . this seems like an error or bug too as i have been closing the browser using the X button for a long time and not had any issues with the browser losing the tabs that were open. (unless i had multiple windows open, if I wanted window A's tabs but i close Window A before I close window B it would remember the tabs for window B.)

Regardless, please fix Firefox so I can use the X button in the top right to close the browser and have it remember the tabs that were open.

I am using light visual mode. Whenever I am viewing a dark image, e.g. a relatively dark photo in a newspaper article, this darkens the entire page, including the menu/bar area. This happens as the dark image is scrolled to become visible. Normal bright views are restored once the dark image is out of view. And similarly my youtube music page, which has a black background, is horribly black now. I a musing windows11. Thanks.

I have to fill in reports for the same 762 customers constantly. I just updated to a new computer and all those saved address in my autofill didn't sync to my new pc. How can i mass upload the addresses back in?

I was hoping there would be an about:autofill or about:addresses text file i could copy the format from the few i entered and put the rest on the text file following the same pattern, if it exists but i couldn't see anything using about:about

Migrating from Chrome to Firefox and cannot set Home Page different from New Window

Rather than have dedicated computers for Work and Personal use I have dedicated accounts on multiple computers. Up until now I have been using Chrome for Work and Safari for Personal. I have been having more and more issues with Chrome, so I am moving my Work configuration to Firefox. Unfortunately, I have found a MAJOR difference in behavior. In Chrome I have 9 tabs setup to open when I start Chrome (my Home Page), these are the tools I use in my job; Jira, M365, Zabbix, GitLab, Digital Ocean, and a bunch of in-house tools. I set these up in Firefox, so far, so good. Unfortunately when I open a New Window, as I often do when working a specific problem, I get all of my Home tabs and I need to go through and close them all.

So my question is WHY there is not a setting to enable Home Page separate from New Window? I did find this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1281079 but it does not really answer the question as to why we cannot have the same behavior as Chrome. I understand that the current design just calls the same New Window code whether it is the first Window or the 100th Window, but setting a flag in memory once the first Window has been opened and checking that flag to determine if the New Window needs to open all the Tabs should not be that large a code change. Note I said a flag in memory and not on disk, as that would be a performance hit.

My second question is whether the powers that control Firefox would be open to such a code change if submitted? I understand how Open Source works and features that the volunteers working on code want to see are the ones that get developed.

Thank you.

https//www.modelprices.com is a pricing database for models, trains cars etc. It does not require passwords. Yet Firefox in a recent update has now deemed it insecure and I cannot see how to fix this, despite clicking on the task bar padlock item and looking at the drop down items. This is most annoying. Can you please assist? Thank you.

How can I disable COMPLETELY the tab previews a/when I hover over a tab, and b/ when moving tabs (using left click and hold)? I've tried the various options listed in other questions on the support forum: nglayout.enable_drag_image = false browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled = false browser.tabs.hoverPreview.showThumbnails = false

Along with unticking "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar" in settings.

None of these works to completely disable the previews.

Is my only option to reinstall an older version of Firefox... again?

Firefox 133.0b6 (64-bit) Windows 10 Pro
