Hi everybody. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm on Win 11 23H2, and I'm currently running Firefox 88.0.1 x64. Why? Because it's heavily customized to suit my needs. Some examples:

  • Extensions (e.g. Classic Theme Restorer)
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css customizations ( https://github.com/aris-t2/customcssforfx ), which include tabs on bottom (mandatory for me), tab height/width, and many other things.

I decided a long time ago to stay with v88 because every new Firefox update was breaking things that I needed, and I got tired to spend hours with every new update. If only Firefox devs could find a way to NOT break user customizations with every new update...

Of course I'd like to update my Firefox to the latest version. But I know that it's going to be a nuclear bomb. I already made a test. First I made a backup of my profile folder, then I just updated Firefox. Suffice to say that not only all my customizations disappeared : even my tabs disappeared, and I have dozens of them. So I had to uninstall everything, copy back my previously saved profile folder (because of course it had been modified by the latest version), and reinstall Firefox 88.0.1.

So here's my plan and my question. Would it be possible to have two different Firefox installs (not portable I guess), with two different profiles, running at the same time?

  • Here's how I see it:
  • Download Firefox latest version
  • Close Firefox 88
  • Move profile folder away from AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles, so Firefox latest version can't find it
  • Move Firefox folder (the one within Program Files) so hopefully Firefox latest version can't find it
  • Install Firefox latest version (it then creates a new user profile folder)
  • Start Firefox latest version
  • Move back the old Firefox folder to Program Files (so there will be two different Firefox folders, e.g. "Mozilla Firefox 88" and "Mozilla Firefox")
  • Move back the old profile folder to AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles (so there will be two different user profile folders)
  • Start Firefox 88

Would that work, or am I missing something?

If it worked, then I could keep working on Firefox 88, while gradually customizing Firefox latest version until it's ready to take over.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Hi All,

I'm trying to modify various userChrome.css attributes of Tabs in Firefox 109.

However, code that worked in FF 88 is seemingly no longer working.

Is the below code outdated?

I would also like to change the appearance of #TabsToolbar from translucent to either a solid color or a background image. Is that possible? Right now, you can see icons from the desktop through the Tab bar, and there appears to be a strange curved, black overlay colorizing it. See attached screenshot.

Thanks for any input!

/* MISCELLANEOUS TAB ATTRIBUTES */

  1. TabsToolbar { /* tab bar */
 -moz-box-ordinal-group: 3 !important;
 padding-top: 0 !important;
 padding-bottom: 0 !important;
 height: 25px !important;
 background-image: url("bkmr_back.gif");
 border-top: 1px solid #afc0d2 !important;
 border-bottom: 1px solid #8698aa !important;

}

/* Change the color of selected tab */

   .tab-background[selected="true"] {
       background-attachment: none!important;
       background-image: none!important;

background-color: #eef5fc !important; /* background color only, not border */ }

/* Change text attributes of selected tab #8698aa to match bottom tabstoolbar line color */

  1. TabsToolbar .tabbrowser-tab[selected] {

font-weight: 800 !important; color: #000 !important;

       border-top: 1px solid #8698aa !important;
       border-left: 1px solid #8698aa !important;
       border-right: 1px solid #8698aa !important;

}

  1. TabsToolbar .tabbrowser-tab:not([selected]) {

font-weight: 600 !important; color: #000 !important; /* non-selected tab text color */

       border-top: 1px solid #afc0d2 !important;
       border-left: 1px solid #afc0d2 !important;
       border-right: 1px solid #afc0d2 !important;

}

/* Change the color of non-selected tab */

  .tab-background:not([selected]) {
       color: #000000 !important;

background-color: #c7d3e0 !important; }

'Why am I still seeing blinking ads on firefox pages? I thought you totally solved this problem ? I have been using firefox ad blockers for months with great success; but suddenly they stopped functioning efficiently. Since firefox took them OUT OF MY UPPER TOOLBAR SEVERAL WEEKS AGO . 'Thus I have no idea if they are working or not.' There was no announcement of changers or any update that I know of.

Otherwise with no help from firefox, the last resort will be switching to an independent vpn to resolve firefox ad issues... For years I had no issues with firefox or even ad blocking problems; but now ads and firefox's constant need to take TOTAL control of everything has become a major issue.

If all fails, the last hope will be turning to Express VPN...Thanx for any help you can give...rjk

I am happily running Mac OS 10.13.6 (High Sierra) on my MacBook Pro (mid 2012). This OS allows me to use my many 32 and 64 bit apps and have excellent control of my laptop. My bank is saying that my browser (Firefox 88.0.1) needs to be updated. When I check system requirements at mozilla, any newer Firefox claims to need an intel x86 processor INCLUDING the version of Firefox I am now using. My Mac has an intel Core i7 processor. When I click on about Firefox, I'm offered to update to 109.0.1. Will this update actually work for me without losing any functions I already have? Is there a better choice for my Mac and Firefox?

After my Browser automatically updated to 88.0.1 (i unfortunately ignored the popup to update Firefox for a while) i started it and my Login data was gone. Extensions, Bookmarks, anything other than Lockwise Data was still there.

I made an account (this one) as i previously did not have one in hopes of somehow fixing that; then after searching for solutions i checked for an "old data" file (does not exist) and checked about:profiles (i have a second profile named "default" that has absolutely zero saved data on anything, i dont know where it came from or wheter it was ever used). The profile that i use ("default-release") was active and that was that.

Then i checked Appdata/Roaming/.../theprofile (from the profile page) and was relieved to find that both "logins.jason" and "logins-backup.json" contained my Login data: The Username and Password (encrypted), formSubmitURL, giud, enctype, etc. I made a completly seperate backup in case something i do ends up deleting those. Since the passwords are encrypted i cannot add them one by one to Lockwise.

I dont know why they dont appear when i check my Login data or try to use the data on any Website. Can i manually "import" the file into Firefox so that it automatically decyrpts the passwords?

Made several posts about floating videos and never one answer over the course of two years that I can recall. One of the biggest user problems with FF and we get -- nothing. If the developers are incapable of solving this go ahead and tell us ! We can look for other browser options. I have researched everything to do with the matter and the topic just round and round and round in circles. Dozens claim to have the answer but they are all full of hooey. Simple question -- time to start looking for options other than FF ?

Several questions posted over several years about stopping floating videos. No credible responses. Please STOP ghosting me ! YES or NO ! It's one of the two ! If the competence at Mozilla doesn't exist, intestinal fortitude not present, interest, or there has been a bribe paid to ignore floating video issues -- please let me know ! I can handle the answer -- I promise you. If the answer is NO -- FF is gone on my machines. ONE OR THE OTHER ! Which is it !!! If you don't know -- type nothing and DO NOT waste my time again...

I'm stuck at ver 88. Starting with 89 I seem to be limited to around 150 total tabs across all open windows (even if only one is open). Total lockup of the desktop (KDE in linux) It hadn't been a problem, I just shut off auto update.

Now websites are whining about me running an older browser and some are even refusing to let me in. So I thought ok, I'll run multiple instances and keep the total number of tabs low. 5 instances work fine, the 6th starts to act a bit flaky, 7+ is a total lockup of the desktop (KDE in linux).

Even if I can manage to kill the last instance, its corpse remains on screen.

So I'm back to ver 88 with no solution. Is there a way around these limits? When I'm doing development I often have more than 600 tabs open. Eventually some will get closed, but I can't very well get much done if the browser is just going to lock everything up.
