Some Chinese characters are displayed incorrectly in my iOS Firefox app, with completely different strokes then they should have. It's not traditional Chinese or any other actually existing character, it's just straight up wrong.

As an example, below I am typing 冷 (cold) and it displays correctly in my keyboard (and everywhere else on my iPhone) but when I actually select it, the character looks completely different. If I search, it's still recognized as the correct character, but it's just displayed wrong, making it very difficult to read as these aren't characters that actually exist. This is just one example, with multiple other characters having similar issues.

On Arch Linux with the latest version of Firefox, the interface elements turn black due to a theme loading failure. 'This issue persists even when using the default theme.

Going to Settings and disabling the theme (which automatically falls back to another theme) resolves the problem.Re‑enabling the problematic theme does not reproduce it immediately. However, the issue reappears after restarting Firefox.

There are a million links when searching this problem; none of the fixes work and a search on this site was nothing more than FAQs about bookmarks and what they used for, blah blah. Astonishing, for such a big issue that seems to be a legacy problem now. So little clarity over the gazillion alleged fixes for this. Tempts you to get a browser with paid professional support... The consultants I support as a programmer and using Firefox are asking again frequently, "Any idea when we'll get a clean version that simply fixes all the bugs and forgets about flashy new shit and all that ?" A very compelling question...

Is there a handy fix I can transmute easily and won't have to waste hours on for each person etc ?

In navigation bar near the top of my home page, the Home Page widget is missing after a hack was corrected by a technician. i want to restore that Home Page widget to its original place in the left-hand section of the bar. So that even if I am in a different program or app--such as my email Inbox--I can toggle to my Home Page by clicking on the Home Page widget. How can i do that? i'm running Windows 11 and a Firefox browser.

macOS Tahoe, Firefox 152.0.3 macOS settings include "Appearance - Auto"; i.e. system switches from light to dark at sunset. While the "top area" (tabs, address bar, bookmarks bar) of Firefox follows this - some of the pages themselves do NOT???

I found this website which was at top of the search results. I tried to follow it, but it seems to be badly outdated in certain key respects: esp wrt a setting called "ui.systemUsesDarkTheme" in about:config. I set this to "True", but may have screwed this up!! First question: Should I "reset" this somehow?

Finally: To get at the primary question, there are two "sub-questions" that may explain my confusion more clearly:

1. Is there no ***simple way*** to get Firefox & webpages I view to follow macOS Light/Dark appearance?? What are the CORRECT steps?

2. Do individual webpages have the ability to "decide for themselves" whether or not they will adhere to the system light/dark settings. This may well be an officially "stupid question", but while "most" webpages remain "Light" (including this Support page), a few pages appear dark.

Thanks, ~S

I don't know why any browser never seems to allow for this. I hate using the mouse wheel to scroll down webpages and always use the scroll bar on the right side. Problem is most of the time it's way to skinny/narrow to be practically used and the bar you use to scroll it up and down - especially on long pages - is so tiny as to be completely unusable. It may not be an issue for tweens who still have eyes like hawks but for older people, like me, it's a pain in the tuchus. I'd like to be able to increase both the size - width mostly - of the slide rail and increase the overall size of the slide bar you use to control it.

Thanks!

Hello, I have my Apple settings set to dark mode at night time. I noticed even with Firefox having system selected for website appearance, it still does light mode at night. I attached a screenshot showing the discrepancy. Can you please get this fixed!

On Chrome, if you have multiple profiles open on a Windows 11 PC, they each show up on the taskbar as separate things with the Chrome logo. Meanwhile, with Firefox, separate profiles open windows on the same taskbar icon and simply switch the profile icon. The picture gives an example of what I mean. I've censored some stuff on it, but know that the stuff in white is in one profile while the other has the stuff in black. The gray is unrelated stuff. Claude says Chrome does this by giving each profile a separate AppUserModelID, whatever that is. Is it possible to do the same in Firefox?

Hello,

I like how easily I can access bookmarks, tabs from other devices, and the chatbot from the "Tools" bar on the sidebar, but it becomes inaccessible after enabling "Expand sidebar on hover".

See images attached showing before and after enabling "on hover".

Am I missing something? Is there a workaround?

Thank you.

I'm generally just wondering if it's possible to remove the profile icons present in the top right corner of the Firefox app, and how to go about doing it if possible. Thank you very much!

I have firefox on another PC with wallpaper I wish to install on my current firefox. I have identified its name = "Abstract".

The image is a205885e-194a-41f9-ae47-e7da66a74041.avif The current firefox version I wish to install this wallpaper on is 151.0.4 (64-bit) Please provide navigation instructions on firefox to install. I am uploading the image of this wallpaper for you easy reference. Thanks

As I said I opened my browser and ff said they were going to have a new bookmark system did I want to try it...I clicked yes and now everything has changed my tabs are now on the side rather than on the top...my bookmarks are now longer readily accessible. I'd like to get back to where I was...or at least find a tutorial to show me how to navigate the new configuration... Help

Hello, I somehow have gotten a slimmer sidebar that is attached to my bookmarks sidebar on the left. I can't get it to disappear without losing my bookmarks at the same time. When I re-open bookmarks it has this sidebar again on the side. Is it possible to get just this slim bar to go away? Thank you

I'm on Debian 13 stable with firefox nightly (tarball) downloaded from the firefox website with firefox running on wayland. I don't recall the exact time / build that this issue happened, but it has been persistent for over a week or two already.

The issue I am seeing is where secondary menus or popups do not scale properly in firefox. This includes Popups for extensions, right click menus, or even link previews (long click left mouse btn).

<See screenshots>

Things I tried with no luck:

• Restarting my computer
• Restarting firefox / Updating firefox from the firefox website (https://www.firefox.com/en-US/channel/desktop/)
• Changing my display scale (100%) to (90%)
• Changing firefox display scale from (130%) to (100%)
• Refreshing firefox through the settings (aka clearing extensions and all the other stuff)
• Switching to X11 and back to Wayland... X11 worked fine, but back to Wayland just got things borked again
• Updating all system packages on Debian (nothing much except for security updates on debian stable)

Now the questions I have:

1. Is there a way to fix this issue? 2. Where could I file a bug for this issue? 3. Are there other people with this same issue?
