Yet again Mozilla have decided that yellow folder icons are not needed and have amended the code so user chrome files no longer work. Is there a new way to return the folder icons to yellow or are we stuck with the black icons with a white frame?

Firefox is the default browser and pinned to the taskbar. When clicked, Firefox automatically opens places an additional icon in the taskbar. Once Firefox opens, in the second icon, any new links open in tabs, which is my preference.

The first image is the pinned icon in the taskbar. When hovering it only displays Firefox. The second image is the additional icon, when hovering over this icon the active page thumbnail is displayed.

Prior versions of Firefox did not have this behavior on my Windows 11 desktop PC. I've tried various settings in about:config but cannot resolve this issue. Is there some reason two icons are now required in the taskbar when running Firefox?

How to disable click and hold context menu

There is a 'feature' in Firefox that I think is called "click and hold context menu". Basically if you left click on something and hold the click for a second or two a menu appears that offers an AI generated list of suggestions related to the thing you were clicking on. How do I disable this? In searching I have found suggestions to open about:config and set the value for ui.click_hold_context_menus to false, which I have done a few weeks ago now and it has no affect. I also tried changing the related value of ui.click_hold_context_menus.delay to an insanely long time, but that also had no effect.

I would appreciate some guidance on how to turn this off. This is problematic enough that I may have to switch to another browser if this can't be disabled. Thanks! Attached is a random example of one of these context menu's that appears when clicking and holding on a link.

I tried to open to a site WWW.RAFY-A.com this morning and got an alert it was not available, but, I am now unable to dismiss or close the following ATTENTION! messages. I did click on the "click here to secure your data! on the top two now it shows a yellow triangle which I'm still unable to close or dismiss. Could someone please explain how to get rid of these.

Is it possible to make a donation to Mozilla without providing so much personal information? I got a message on Firefox today asking for a donation, but when I tried to do that, I was asked for my home address. It's a general rule of internet marketing that people who use the internet would rather do anything than pay for something, so it's bad psychology to impose unnecessary conditions when you're asking for a donation. I don't have to provide my home address when I make donations to other organisations, so why does Mozilla need my home address? I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this question, but I can't find anywhere else to ask it!

Thanks,

Shaun.

Hello,

I have version 143.0.3 (aarch64), running on a 2020 M1 mac. I did an update recently but I still have all of my bookmarks, that's not the problem. The problem is, although the space for the bookmarks toolbar appears when I click "always show" (and disapears when I select "never show"), I see nothing. Nothing shows up in this space and so I have to go menu diving to get to my bookmarks. Do you have an idea how to fix this?

Firefox appearance is custom and doesn't match system theme and widget set

I'm using Ubuntu 24 with the XFCE desktop. I'm installing the debs straight off packages.mozilla.org (currently 143.0.3).

Firefox's title bar, and window manager buttons do not have the same look and feel as the rest of my windows. And I have no idea where they're coming from.

They do change appearance in response to picking the different styles in Settings > Appearance, but the changes appear to be limited to colors only. The minimize, maximize and close buttons look differently than on all other windows, and they are more spread out than in, and the shade button is nowhere to be found.

I'm attaching two small images, the first one is the standard set of widgets all other windows have, and the second one is Firefox's odd duck. I could not find anything in settings. "Extensions And Themes" shows that "System theme" is enabled. Well, it's coming up a bit short...
