Firefox Community Forum

Hi.

How come there is no option to turn off "Firefox Translation"? I speak three languages and every time I visit foreign web site, Firefox suggest translation to me. It's annoying.

I wanted to use the new VPN feature and the icon initially showed up in the top right, but it has disappeared and is not present in "customise toolbar" or privacy settings either.

The release notes for Firefox version 140.0.1 indicate the extension button can can now be removed from the toolbar.the noes say:

"Firefox Extensions: Customize your toolbar with the option to remove the extensions shortcut, giving you more control over your browser. When the button is hidden, you can access the extensions panel again at any time from the Firefox menu by clicking the Extensions menu item."

I still cannot drag the button down and out of sight by customising the toolbar.

Suggestions welcome.

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?

I searched how to disable any random new AI features Firefox was about to cram into the browser.

I was served this support page that says I can "Block new and current AI features (single switch)"

Simply, the described feature to disable AI features isn't in the settings. I've look and tried searching for "Block AI enhancements" & "AI controls" but no luck.

Please tell me they haven't given the writing of support pages to some shitty LLM.

Hello, I have just upgraded to windows 11. On firefox I used to be able to right mouse click on the firefox icon in the taskbar to select my saved saved (Pinned) websites. In the past with Windows 10 I right mouse clicked on the url of favorite websites then drag and drop on the firefox icon in the taskbar and that was it. On Windows 11 that no longer works. How do I pin my favorite websites to the firefox icon in the taskbar on Windows 11? I thank anyone for your help.

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?

FF ver 140. just loaded and now all my sidebar bookmark fonts are black on black. How do I change the sidebar bookmark font back to white? When I disabled all Themes the white color came back, but enabling any theme and they the font turns black again.

Hello,

 An update or two (maybe more?) ago, the plus sign with which we add shortcuts to the Firefox browser home page/new tab page disappeared, so now we can no longer add shortcuts on the home page/new tab page.  Please help.  I am running Firefox Version 129.0.2 (64-bit) on a Windows 11 Pro 64-bit if that makes any difference.  Thanks.

This is a recent problem. This did not happen several months ago. I read that this is a preference but cannot find it anywhere. I use video download helper. Cannot find a preference there either. Thank you for helping.
