With an update to version 157.0, firefox seems to have introduced more sidebar settings. One of the features introduced is also a "Hide sidebar" button in the top left of the screen, right next to the go one page back/forward buttons. This is throwing off my muscle memory and I know that I will not be needing it so I am wondering if there is some way to get rid of it.

I just updated to Firefox Version 157.0 and set up vertical tabs on the left side and love it. I also have "Hide tabs and sidebar" clicked which I assumed would hike the sidebar until I moved my cursor to the left. That doesn't happen. The icons for the various tabs remain displayed. Am I wrong to assume that this setting means the sidebar will be hidden until the cursor is moved to this area?

Thanks for your input.

Hi, I have a shortcut which comes up with a blank icon. I've tried Google help to use a custom picture, but nothing worked. The complication is that my shortcut does not go to Xerox, it goes to their pension provider who has a different name. The shortcut works fine but it would be nice if I didn't have a blank icon.

I've been using Firefox for a couple months now, and I just ran into this problem today with English text nearby Japanese text: https://files.catbox.moe/diw4y3.png

  • It's not affecting Japanese text
  • It's not exclusive to Japanese websites (it's present in one email in gmail, but not all of them)
  • I haven't seen it on any Japanese websites
  • It's also present in some add-ons that generate text (Checker Plus for Gmail, Yomichan)
  • Turning off all add-ons doesn't fix it, but opening the page in a private window does fix it
