‘New update for Firefox removed my bookmark menu from side bar. When I open FIrefox, my bookmarks are gone, but a one inch vertical, useless space appears. Please help.’ for ‘Firefox’

My sidebar kept disappearing when opening a new window. After asking the internet, I learned that this was part of the latest UI update. This is a horrible update (sorry programming team) because if you always want your sidebar to show up, all that extra stuff has to show up as well. See first image.

The second problem is that the Hide Sidebar button is too close to the Back button. I keep clicking on the Hide Sidebar button when I really want the Back button.

Is there a way to hide these controls? I know you can move them to the right, but then, so does your sidebar. I don't have a lot of screen real estate. Can we have an option to go back to the "classic" settings for sidebars?

By the way... In the previous versions of Firefox, I was able to click on a link (example: Google search) and my sidebar (in my case with my bookmarks) was always there in the new window or tab. Now when I click on a link, the sidebar with my bookmarks disappears in the new window. I have to keep enabling it if I want to see my bookmarks. I'm 100% sure that this is causing frustration with over 87% of Firefox users. Can we please bring back that old functionality?

I had to do a system restore to a couple of days ago. When it finished. The text in my tabs and toolbar became tiny, about 8pt instead of the 12pt that it used to be. What setting will make the text larger again like my menu bar?

I cannot make fire fox work at all.for me. I need the file, edit, history, bookmark tool bar back. I'm pleading with you. Please I BEG you to uninstall the upgrade. Please let me have the Firefox I had last week. I,m 88 and will die before I ever!!!! i can't make anything work.I have over 5,000 bookmarks. I write for a few dollars to partly support myself. Right now I'm out of business. Where is the invisible email address? I have been using FIREFOX since it came out. i can't go through your circus. A browser should have a high degree of instinctive coordination, it shouldn't be similar to experts cryptic calculus level, when your totally unfamiliar with the level of calculus I'm sorry, I won't be able jump through hoops..

Recently, after two Firefox updates, there are changes on my home page.

1. I only get the top bar and not a full page. I have to click on the green circle with the enlarge icon to get a full page.

2. No longer can access multiple pages on the home screen so cannot cut/paste or transfer and drop info onto different pages.

While I have Firefox as a browser, my search is usually done by google.

How can these problems be fixed.

Thank you.

Hi, Firefox will load and can find Web pages. But when I click on the link it will not open the page error message "we can't connect to the server at etc. I can connect using a different wifi service.

Hi, after the recent update i am not able to click on the File menu on extreme top left corner, i think it is due to the rounded corners of the selection box, the corner pixels are inactive when hovering over. This makes clicking harder, before i could click it blindly by moving the mouse to the top teft corner fast, now i have to aim it, please fix this.

The A4 print preview (and the printout itself) from the PDF file is shrunken. I've tried printing from Edge and everything works normally there, so it's a Firefox problem. How do I fix it?

Hi, I’m writing to inform you that I’ve been unable to access the website below since yesterday. I had been using it regularly without any issues, but starting yesterday, I’m receiving the message: “Sorry, you have been blocked”, also see attached screenshot. I’m not sure why this has happened, as I was able to access the site previously without any problems. Could you please help ?

Been using Firefox for many years. Configured the Firefox Browser to automatically open the Sidebar Bookmarks every time I open Firefox browser. About a week ago that configuration stopped working and I can not re-set it to automatically open the Sidebar Bookmarks when I open the Mozilla browser. When I search online I see I am not the only user of Firefox who has developed this same problem. I suspect it occurred when Firefox updated their browser. Would appreciate getting that feature restored as it is annoying to have to open the Sidebar Bookmarks every time I open and use Firefox browser. No, I am not going to leave it open when I stop using my computer to solve the problem. I close all my apps and shut my computer down after using it. If this cannot be fixed my only alternative is to stop using Firefox and find a new browser.

If I am doing something wrong please advise!

Darling team the Firefox.

I returned to Firefox again years ago, having stopped using the splendid browser. But due to fashion or following trends, I migrated to a browser from another company. I've returned to my beloved Firefox, which has brought me so much joy. However top me with a terrible unknown.

The browser I stopped using. It has an attractive simple, and useful home screen for selecting accounts for the user, which multiple accounts.

I haven't found any similarity in my dear Firefox.

Do you have a feasible solution, since searching the internet, the community is clamoring for it.

Sincerely,

Twö
