Firefox Community Forum

my tabs bar, containing several hundred tabs, in firefox has suddenly decided to disappear and i can't get it to show. same for the menu toolbar (the one w/ the open, save,...) never really know which toolbar i am looking for. using latest version of ff and windows 11 desktop tried to get info directly from mozilla, but is the only place that probably has the answer.

what ever happened to support for the browser? it was relatively easy to get to the support area but now it mostly shows self-advertising for firefox.

thanks in advance for any help on this matter!

Hi people. I use Split View a lot in FF browser and love the feature where when you click from side to side on each window you get a color highlight/border surrounding the active window, default is blue, but I would love it even more if I could choose my own custom color, I'm thinking a deeper cobalt electric blue or even a deep red. Can you change this color in settings? If not, how would I get this suggestion submitted?

How do i revert the new graphical interface? I do not like the new rounded corners and the new themes that are shoved down our throat.

Why does mozilla like to do this to us ?

I had to find and download firefox 156. BUT Because 157 already installed itself in the bg, it also updated the user PROFILE which OFCOURSE it is not recognised by previous vers 156. Its corrupted by 157 and wont work with 156.

After 2 h of messing around with installs and profiles i COULDNT MAKE IT WORK. And now i have to watch this stupid UNPROFESIONAL GUI and i had to make an account on the forums to post this and try anbd find a way around and ofcourse i did because theres smarter ppl out there than those who work at mozilla. ( im reffering to the sollution with the browser.nova.disabled)

With the most recent update, the autofill password background color is now white instead of black, as it had been forever, with my system settings on Dark Mode / system.

I cant see any place to change the autofill background color, other than follow system settings or set to dark mode. Which I have done both, restarted firefox and my PC - still showing white background. again, this just started with a recent firefox update, about a week or so ago, maybe there is a glitch in there?

Please advise. Thank you~ SG

The mouse cursor does not highlight text in the address bar. It is selecting the text but the blue 'select' highlight doesn't show so I'm working blind. Firefox 154.0b5 Build ID: 20260731090442 (64-bit) on Windows 11 Home 25H2. Build 26200.8875 Tested in troubleshoot mode - same issue.

No point adding screenshots to show an invisible select highlight.  :-)

Name Firefox Version 154.0b5 Build ID 20260731090442

157.0 made bookmarks sparce again. How to restore high density? Old methods dont help.

This doesnt help: "With the release of Firefox 157 and its new "Nova" visual design refresh, Mozilla actually brought back Compact Mode as a fully supported native setting. You no longer need to mess with hidden about:config flags or the "Customize Toolbar" menu. To fix the sparse padding and restore high-density spacing for your bookmarks and toolbars, follow these steps: 1. Click the Menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner of Firefox. 2. Select Settings. 3. Choose Appearance from the left-hand sidebar menu. 4. Locate the Window density section. 5. Select Compact."

Hi, recently there was an update that made the tabs and what not just look awful. Making everything "rounded" and I don't like that one bit. How do I reverse this to have square layout again?

I provide a picture on how it looks now...

Hello. I really dislike the new appearance of firefox, from the rounded buttons/tabs to the color scheme being everywhere. Is there a way to revert to the previous appearance, or customize these things?

thank you in advance!

Since updating to version 150 (and 150.0.01) my title bar is missing. Sure, I CAN get it back with F11 (2 times) but it is annoying to have to do that every single time I start FF.

There is no longe an option (to checkmark or remove checkmark) in the right-click menu to show the title bar. (it used to be an option) I want the option to have it there permanently, or not. It should be up to me, not some dev somewhere that does not like it.

In Windows 11, how do I add the Firefox icon to the extreme top left of its webpages?

When I switch tabs to Firefox, typically using Alt+Tab, I am often unsure at first which program I am in. I have searched Firefox settings, and googled extensively, and there seems to be no way to add the icon back. I believe that it was once there, but I am unsure of this.

Almost every other program places its icon on the top left of its pages. Surely it is possible to do the same in Firefox, which just has an empty space there.

(But I am wrong on the last point, because Edge, which I rarely use, also has no icon there. Surely Firefox does not want to share any problem that Edge has!)

Hi there, I was wondering if we could get a setting to change the aesthetics of the tabs in our browser. Currently, we have a 'button'-type highlight for our current tab, but I was hoping we could manage our themes or preferences to actually have the tab visually 'connect' to the browser page itself.

It would help a lot with visibility, and I would greatly appreciate either the suggestion as an option or giving theme creators the option to tinker with the shape of tabs as a whole.

I've pretty much exhausted my simple little mind about this problem. At some point around the beginning of the year, Firefox changed the fonts on all my toolbars to some ridiculously miniscule font. I've queried Google's AI several times, tried every solution I've received, all to no avail. Is there a way to do this? I just want to enlarge the font in all the toolbars, not the web site contents, and lock it in. Thanks to whoever can help me achieve this.
