I'm using Mac Catalina OS, version 10.15.8, and the latest version of Firefox as my browser. How can I increase the font and icon size on the Firefox toolbar?The existing font size is too small and hard to read. Going to about:config and clicking on "accept the risk and continue" plus typing "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" doesn't seem to work for me. 'Simply put, I need clear instructions that allow me to resolve the aforementioned problem.

Clicking a tab to activate it often just closes or mutes it by mistake because the area is so small.

Just make them the same size as on the top bar. It doesn't matter if the text is vertical.

Ok, I have firefox in Kubuntu 24.04 from the official mozilla repositories (I don´t like snap) so, by today I received an upgrade to version 157.0 and the new desing with the tab buttons are like pills, and I don't like that appereance, so I did an userChrome.css with this rule:

  • {
     border-radius: 5px !important;

}

Worked nice for me by the except that in the tabs background I have 5 pixel corners too, and behind that corners is white, so I tried with a new rule of zero pixel border radius to these elements: #TabsToolBar, #TabsToolbar-customization-target, #tabbrowser-tabs and #tabbrowser-arrowscrollbox with no success

I Like everything with that nice 5 pixel radius but not that blank corners, so what element I have to change its radius to zero in order to have a decent looking browser with no pill buttons? thanks.

The tab bar theme/interface looks terrible- why would you do this?

How could you change my tab bar to this awful rounded, non-dark, purple orange gradient with atrocious looking outlines?

Why would you change something that has worked for years. Please bring back square tabs. Even in compact mode the tabs still look terrible and there's no option to put this back.

How could you do this? I'm having reading my tab bar at this point with the gradient. I shouldn't have to install third party add-ons or themes to make it work like it has for years.

Current sidebar default width with open tabs (ie bookmarks etc) is excessive, so I did the normal dragging to narrow it. Problem being that opening new window it goes straight to the default width. Shouldn't it stay at the changed width?

Somehow I managed to set it so that my bookmarks appeared on the left side. I spent an entire hour trying to restore them to their original position at the top, but I simply couldn’t find any setting for it anywhere. Neither Gemini, nor ChatGPT, nor Google Search gave me a useful answer.

I don’t consider myself a stupid person, but I was genuinely on the verge of tears when I finally slammed my fist on the desk and uninstalled Firefox.

The only company I can think of that could make a user interface even less intuitive is Meta.

With latest update (and without my say-so), the background color of my bookmark list is purple (with white print). I have not gotten used to it and find it distracting. I'd like to go back to the way it was (white background with black print). I cannot find the setting to change. Thanks for reading and any suggestions.

How to restore the shape of the tabs to tab shape and also make them visually discernible

In the new update, the gradient is mandatory which is okay fine, probably will be themes that revert that, but tabs are floating buttons.

It's not the end of the world, but it's something that is both completely illogical (since they're tabs, they're linked with the window below them — they are TABS, like in a pocket phone book or office file), and visually confusing.

And they're now even more weakly highlighted (there is in fact NO highlighting, only a tiny outline), it's difficult to discern which tab is active. It was already a bit hard on dark themes in recent versions.

I think these are not just knee-jerk reactions, like "make it like it was", although I admit there is a part of it there. But even taking a step back, how does this improve the experience? I can't see which tab is active, the coloring is non-uniform across the wide window so it's even harder, and the tabs do not connect to their window.

new update destroyed old firefox look i love those old sqarish tabs please give us option to switch back to old firefox look, themes, styles... in settings, i dont see it anywhere, the tabs were perfect like they were new look of tabs is horrible (at least to me) is there some way to return to old look. Ai said to me to play around with a userChrome.css file but i still cant get the old look no matter how much i try, it gets worse and worse, worst case scenario is it possible to send me a css file of old tabs / toolbar look or something i feel like someone moved every single furniture in my home, the feeling is terrible. new icons are okay but old toolbar and even search bar is better in older version, i loved more the old look why is there no option to revert back to old theme look i used for years.
