Hello:FF dev 156.0b3 sept 2026. w11p. Is there a simple way to reduce the number of items/cut back the list of items appearing in the context menu (R mouse button)? A 6-yr-old post on reddit says to use userchrome.css. This advice may no longer work? And the instructions seem a little confusing to me. Thank you.

The autocomplete dropdowns for form fields have recently changed appearance, and I strongly prefer the previous, simple design.

The new version has:

  • Clock icons next to autocomplete/history entries
  • Much more vertical padding, making the list unnecessarily large
  • Rounded "pill-shaped" highlighting when hovering over an entry

The previous autocomplete list was much more compact and clean, without the clock icons, excessive padding or rounded hover backgrounds.

Is there currently a setting, `about:config` preference or other supported way to restore the old autocomplete list appearance?

Ideally, I would like to use the previous style:

  • No clock icons
  • Compact rows with the previous amount of padding
  • No rounded/pill-shaped hover effect
  • Otherwise retain the existing autocomplete functionality

If there is no setting to restore the old appearance, could an option be added to allow users to choose between the old and new autocomplete UI?

This is absolutely driving me out of my mind, I no longer have a tiny drag space above my tabs- when I 'customizem toolbar' and try to add a flexible space above them, I can't. The only solution is to constantly have the menu bar turned on, and at that point I'd just opt out of FF. I cannot figure out why this happened, and I cannot seem to fix it- please help me

When Firefox is not maximized, an unwanted empty space appears to the left of the tabs.

When Firefox is running in a non-maximized window, an unwanted empty space appears on the left side of the tab bar, before the first tab.

This space is not present when the Firefox window is maximized. It appears automatically whenever the window is restored to a smaller/non-maximized size.

The issue affects the tab bar layout and leaves a noticeable unused area on the left side of the tabs. I would like to know whether this is expected behavior or a UI bug.

Firefox version: 155.0 64-bit Operating system: WINDOWS 11 25H2 64-bit

Since the latest update, the findbar is not displaying for me. I hit ctrl+f and I can type a word and it will highlight on the page, but I can't see the findbar itself.

In my about:config, the only modified findbar preferences I have modified are:

userchrome.floating-findbar-on-right userchrome.floating-findbar-on-right.enabled

I have tried changing them from true to false, but it doesn't fix the issue.

I have animations disabled in Android, but Firefox seems to not honour it as of 1-2 days ago. When I close a tab (viewing tabs, swiping left/right on a tab) it now does some slow fade out instead of just being swiped off and disappearing like it used to.

I searched through the settings but can't find a way to disable this behaviour.

Now when I click on something in Firefox, for example a Facebook post, it opens in full-screen mode, not just in the selected window size. When the new window opens in full screen, it covers other stuff already on the desktop. It's f'ing annoying. How do I choose to have new windows open at the existing window size?
