Firefox Community Forum

Hi I found the solution to this problem I experienced today. It's exactly what user buythiscanoe described. However, his query was archived, and they offer a rather radical solution, as you can see at:

I didn't want to go so far as to uninstall, which involves copying my user folder, which is quite large due to the amount of customization, history, bookmarks, and extensions. So I quickly explored settings and found a new section called Firefox Labs. I found an optional development that you can try, due September 2025, which has the following description:

Add sites to your taskbar Open sites you frequently visit as a web app from your taskbar. Look for the "Add to taskbar" icon to the right of the address bar to launch that site in a streamlined window with all of Firefox's protections.

So, I simply enabled the option. And problem solved, the Firefox icon returned to my taskbar in Windows 11.

And since I'm not yet familiar with this feature in Windows 11, but I did use it in Safari on macOS, I unchecked the box and the problem didn't reappear. It solved the loss of the Firefox icon in the taskbar.

I don't know if this is the right channel to provide these contributions, or if I've categorized this question correctly. But since I've been using Firefox for 6 years and have taken advantage of these Firefox forums, I think this is a perfect opportunity to make my first contribution.

Hi,

As I have Windows 8, I had an old Firefox. On 15th March, add-ons stopped working. I use many of them, so I read that the solution was to update Firefox but in ESR version. I use userChrome.css to change some settings. Before update, I had my context menu items in order. Now I can't. For example, "Open image in new tab" is the first, and "save image" is second. I'm used to the inverted order and now it's difficult for me. Also, I use "desk cut" to create shortcuts a lot. Before, it was the last option, now, it's over "Translate page". If someone could help me with an script for userChrome.css that works, it would be great. Also, I don't know how to find the name of all the CSS selectors. I have some of them written down, but other not, and using develper console with context menu doens't work for me... (probably I'm doing something wrong, as I've managed to leave context menu open but when I try to select, it doesn't work, it's like if I clicked normally and, for example, it opens a picture in new tab.

Many thanks!!

I want to change the new tab wallpaper to use any other picture instead of the ones that Firefox gives us. I researched in YouTube but I found a video which says that you have to install an extension to the browser. I don't think that is necessary. If there's any other way that doesn't require to install anything, I'll be grateful to know. Thanks.
