MY FF recently updated to version 1380.1 (64bits) and my Sidebar Bookmarks are gone. That is I have to manually put them back every time I now start FF. I want them to always show when I start FF. When I need extra screen space, I would click the X and they'd disappear for that session. And when I was done, I'd click on View - Bookmarks they'd be reinstalled. And when I shut FF down and returned later, they'd be right there where I need them.

My question is, how do I get back to that setup?

I like to have the Sidebar open all the time. Now with version 138, when I re-open Firefox the Sidebar is always closed.

How do I keep the Sidebar open in Firefox 138?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

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?

The little button, top right of screen, between - and x is not working to reduce the screen window size. I don't like the window opening to cover the entire screen. I cannot access any edges to reduce the window.

Hello, I've updated my Nvidia graphics driver and encountered this issue. Basically I noticed it on twitch.tv mainly, bottom of my website is hidden behind taskbar, as if firefox thinks I have the automatically hiding taskbar setting enabled, which I never used. I've tried deleting some json file from %appdata% which has not helped, tried reinstalling firefox, running in troubleshoot mode,disabling hardware acceleration and nothing helped. Here are screenshots of how it looks fullscreen and how it should look, as you can see the bottom section is missing. Thanks in advance

When I move the pointer up to a tab, and accidently go to high, this top bar appears on MacOS 15.4.1 - I'm running FireFox 138.0.1 - so I would like to know how to stop this behaviour, and or a plugin or fix to move the close, maximize, minimize button to the left of the tabs, like one Chrome.

Since a couple of days, the sidebar on the left disappears when restarting the browser. I am using 138.0.1. Everytime I have to go to settings to make it appear. Can you help on this bug?

I am now wasting precious time trying to figure out how to make the bookmarks and the tabs across the top bigger. Since the auto update, I can barely read the teeny tiny print. How do I make the font sizes something I can read?

I have applied a dark color combined with some managed custom color. Can anyone help me with how I can disable this overriding website appearance by my color selection for certain sites but enable it for all the rest?

We're attempting to disable either the Firefox Sidebar or the Firefox AI Chatbot via Group Policy, but it appears that Mozilla has not updated their ADMX templates yet to allow this change to be made.

Is this an accurate statement and if so, is there a timeline for when Mozilla plans to implement an update to remediate this issue?
