Hi Firefox

The sidebar isn't showing the buttons. They are there but I can't tell what is what without clicking on them which makes them useless for a shortcut.

Thanks for any help

Hello, Since the update on 24 June 2025, bookmarks are displayed in black text on a black background. Is this normal? If not, how can I resolve the issue? I had set it to dark mode, but even when I switched back to light mode, nothing changed. I would appreciate help from the community or Mozilla if anyone has a website address to contact them. Have a nice day.

Hallo, ich arbeite gerne mit geöffneter Sidebar und bisher (bis Firefox-Version: 139.0 waren sowohl die Ordner der Sidebar, wie auch die in Ordnern abgelegten Webseiteneinträge immer in weißer Farbe (vor dunklem Hintergrund). Jetzt nach dem Update von Firefox auf Vers.: 140.0 ist der Hintergrund der Sidebar 'dunkelgrau' und die Schrift der Ordner und Webseiteneinträge sind in schwarzer Farbe, sodaß man diese nicht mehr richtig sehen kann; lediglich die Icon's der Webseiteneinträge sind in der entsprechenden Farbe/Logo der Webseite korrekt zu sehen. Liegt das jetzt am Update von Firefox 139.0 auf 140.0 ?? Die Sidebar war bis gestern noch korrekt und lesbar dargestellt !!

I installed the new 140 update, and now when I open the bookmark sidebar, the "Search bookmarks" field is highlighted, and the entire list of bookmarks is darkened to the point that it's pretty much unreadable. This was never the case before. I NEVER use the 'search bookmarks' function. My bookmarks are organized into folders and sorted alphabetically. How can I undo this setting so the sidebar looks like it used to?

Thanks!

Firefox 140 I use Tree Style Tabs for my tabs, and have for a long time. I updated to 140 and now, at the top of the sidebar is "Tree Style Tab X". Clicking X closes Tree Style Tab and the sidebar. My question. Is there a way to not have Tree Style Tabs and the top of the sidebar, but return to "BookmarksHome" which was at the top previously? Appreciate any help or ideas.

Hello all:

Just downloaded version 140 and ran into an immediate "visual/appearance" problem with regard to the background color(s) of the sidebar bookmarks view. Many themes now have totally dark sidebar colors and not readable (see screenshot image upload with this posting). I always have my bookmarks (almost 1200 of them) displayed in my sidebar, and this is the first time an issue like this has arisen with a Firefox update.

To remedy this scenario, I must use very light colored themes that have a white background when you bring up the sidebar bookmarks. If not, everything is totally dark and unreadable.

Any ideas or help on this one?

Hello,

Since update 140.0, the side panel is dark (no problem), but the text is black instead of white!!! Which makes reading black on dark is very complicated... Could you fix this problem with a new update? Thank you so much in advance.

why did the newest firefox update change my bookmarks to black text over slightly less black background? and where is this 'easy to find' setting found in the quagmire that is settings?

The book mark side bar has become very dark ( BLACK ) since the your latest update and is not really visible. How do i change the writing so that it can been easy read ( WHITE )

Firefox mozilla recently updated, now the bookmark side bar has made the fonts dark on a dark background, now unreadable. How do I change the fonts back to white on a dark background?

I recently updated to the latest Firefox. Now my bookmarks sidebar is black on black and I can't see what is listed on my favorites. I changed to a lighter theme but the sidebar is still very black. What happened? I am afraid to mess with it much because the last time I lost all of my bookmarks.

Thanks

PS I tried to send a copy of the problem but I just couldn't get it to load.

With the latest update, no matter if I've got it set to light or dark, the sidebar text and background are almost the same color. It's unreadable. There is no way to change just the sidebar, and it ignores the light/dark setting.
