What has happened to the "More actions" menu button - the one that normally is in the upper left corner of windows (see the attached image)?

I have just installed a new PC, with Debian 12 and KDE (plasma 5.27.5); the other windows have this menu button, but not Firefox and Thunderbird. Is there a way to get it back, eg by moving the menu bar out of the title bar and back to where it used to be?

What's up with this? Two fake Trust Wallet add-ins were disabled within the last couple of days after one stole my money and I reported it, and another similar one. They had been pinned to my toolbar and they were subsequently taken off from there with the message that they had violated Mozilla's policies. Now I see that again there are two of them. How can this be prevented? The most obvious sign that these are fake is when one goes to create a new wallet the add-in directs the user to import instead, i.e. it wants to steal private information like recovery phrase.

Hello

I use Firefox 132.0.1 under Fedora 14 Linux. Whenever I click an urls in another application (e.g. Libreoffice, Keepass...) a new tab is opened in Firefox (according to Firefox's settings), but Firefox itself does not pop up in the foreground, it remains in the background. I highly appreciate the setting 'open links in tabs instead of new windows'. But FF only comes to foreground in case I deactivate 'open links in tabs instead of new windows'. How can I prevent FF to stay in the background in case 'open links in tabs instead of new windows' is enabled?

Thank you in advance

Is it possible to remove the border/frame lines around the Menu Bar and the Context Menu in Ver. 131.0.3 to make it look like Ver. 100.0.1.?

Experimenting with userChrome.css only seemed to change some things such as background color and padding size of the context menu, but as a css noob it’s no surprise it didn't work when trying to remove borders, remove margins.

Attached is a screenshot of Ver. 131.0.3 (upper) and which parts of the menus I'm looking to customize or revert back to the style of Ver. 100.0.1 (lower).

Tysm for you time. bteg

In other browsers when I add extensions, I can open an extension panel, or got the the browsers installed extensions section, and edit open up my extension setting pages, and edit them. For example uBlock Origin, but there are others. It doesn't seem possible to do such a thing with Firefox. Is that on purpose or is something wrong?

A few days ago I changed to a new computer.

On my old Windows 11 computer in Firefox I could sign in with my [edited] @gmail account to my Blogger blog, see the New Posts page, edit my posts, post new posts and see the sign out option.

But on my new Windows 11 computer in Firefox I can sign in with my [edited] @gmail account to my Blogger blog, see the New Posts page, but I can't edit my posts. I am signed in but Firefox doesn't show the sign out option.

Whereas on my new computer in Chrome I can sign in with my [edited] @gmail account to my Blogger blog, see the New Posts page, edit my posts, post new posts, and see the sign out option. As always.

In Firefox it says there is something wrong with my [edited] @gmail account and to refresh it or change to another account. I don't now how to refresh it and changing to another Gmail won't work. But it lets me in to my blog's New Posts page!

How can I in Firefox on my new computer edit my posts and see the sign out option, as before and as always in Chrome?

Hello

Recently I've upgraded from Kubuntu 24.04 to 24.10. I'm almost sure that the minimize/restore buttons were available in my Firefox after the system upgrade. For the last few days I can see they are missing - please see attached images.

I can partly fix the problem by going to Settings->More tools -> Customize toolbar and selecting "Title Bar" checkbox. In that case I have the title bar displayed with all 3 button (minimize, restore, close).

But I would like to have the default behavior: title bar is turned off and the mentioned 3 buttons be visible in the tab bar.

How to have those buttons in the tab bar when the title bar is turned off?

I have recently re-installed Firefox version 140.0.2 (64 bit) following a crash and have been reconfiguring it to my requirements. I have the bookmarks drop down menu on the left of my screen but would really like it on the right hand side. I have searched the various on line articles but can only find a solution going back to 2019 which suggests that there is a small arrow next to the word Bookmarks at the top of the menu, but there is no such arrow on my version, only a X, which closes the drop down. I would have attached a screenshot, but the facility doesn't work on the drop down menu. :-)

Am I missing something here please or is this option no longer available?

Regards and TIA

There are 4 toolbars at the top of the Firefox screen. The default order from top to bottom seems to be:

 Menu bar
 Tabs bar
 Navigation bar
 Bookmarks bar   (which Firefox apparently calls "PersonalToolbar")

I would like to move the Bookmarks bar above the Tabs bar so the order is;

 Menu bar
 Bookmarks bar
 Tabs bar
 Navigation bar

I tried to use ChatGPT to accomplish this. After well over 6 iterations, I gave up (ChatGPT was still going strong - hallucinating?). The only code in userChrome.css that accomplished this is shown below. Unfortunately it leaves the order as:

 Bookmarks
 Navigation
 Menu
 Tabs

Can a human expert help me where ChatGPT failed? ___________________

I've never had sponsored shortcuts and suddenly today I've got them. I've attempted the disable the "sponsored shortcuts" on my desktop however its greyed out.

Starting state - Shortcuts selected, sponsored selected and grey Procedure: 1.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan 2.) Click sponsored, it becomes grey again 3.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan (again) 4.) Click sponsored, it appears deselected 5.) Hit refresh and it returns to starting state

I do not edit my GPO or registry, settings are not controlled by an organization, I am not confusing sponsored shortcuts with pinned search engines.

Today (06/12/2025) upon opening a new tab, Firefox slid the new option of uploading a custom picture to apply to the background. Tried the new feature, now I can not find the setting that allows me to change the picture. I read the thread "Customize your wallpapers". The instructions are as follows; You can personalize your Firefox New Tab page by adding one of the available wallpapers. Follow these steps:

  1. In the right corner of the New Tab page, click the gear IG settings icon.
  2. In the customization panel, under the Wallpapers section, you will see different categories like Solid colors, Abstract and Photographs.
       Click the category you prefer. For example, selecting Abstract will show a variety of abstract designs. 


The problem I have is the customization panel is no where to be seen, I have click on EVERYTHING possible, it is not in my settings, why? How do find this?
