Latest update on Ubuntu force reset the sidebar. Reminder for those that do not want, the process to remove it is:

  • Go into about:config in the address bar,
  • search for sidebar.revamp,
  • set it to false.

From this Reddit thread.

Mozilla. Please do not reset the `sidebar.revamp` for those of us that have gone to the trouble of removing it. Thanks.

Hello.

My Firefox browser is missing the close button from the top bar. Minimize and Maximize buttons are present.

This is happening on Fedora 42 With Gnome.

I believe I don´t have any custom theme or user css or extension that could cause this.

Also because, it seems to be hapenning not only in Firefox itself, but also in Firefox based browsers, like Tor Browser.

Anyone has any idea what is hapenning?

Thank you.

The next firefox design is disgusting (personally). can we atleast get an option to keep the current boxy design? everything seems to be vibe coded.

I’ve been taking a look at the latest updates regarding the new Firefox design rolling out in Nightly, and while I appreciate the ongoing work and the return of features like Compact Mode, I wanted to share some thoughts from a user perspective, particularly regarding the aesthetic changes.

Personally, I’m not a big fan of heavily rounded edges across tabs and UI elements. For my workflow and visual preference, I much prefer a cleaner, sharper, and more traditional layout.

With these UI evolutions coming down the pipeline, it would be fantastic if Mozilla could provide a built-in option or setting to keep the current/classic style intact while still receiving all the important under-the-hood updates, security patches, and features. Giving users the flexibility to choose between the new design language and a more traditional layout would ensure everyone can tailor Firefox to their exact liking.

Would love to hear how others feel about the new look and whether a classic style toggle would be a welcome addition for you too!

Hi there! The New Tab page looks great with white text, but Firefox 140.0.4 thinks my wallpaper is white, so text should be dark. I can change the body class to "activity-stream darkWallpaper" using the inspector and it works fine, but how make this change permanently?

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...
