Firefox Community Forum

I use Firefox as it is one of the last good browsers that isn't chromium based. However, I use it for work and like a nice clean PROFESSIONAL look.

With the introduction of version 149, I see new cartoonish fox icons pop up all over the place. After a little research it appears to be Kit, the firefox mascot.

Let me be clear, I don't hate the mascot, he's cute. But that is not what I want in a browser. I find his appearance and lack of ability to eliminate him infuriating.

I try to run a firefox in a as minimalistic state as possible. Intruducutions of this character, make the browser feel cartoony and childish. Things I despise in an application. I know many people like him, but I would like the option to not have him appear in the application at all.

I was able to successfully remove him from the certificate warning page setting the flag: security.certerrors.felt-privacy-v1 --> FALSE.

However, I can't find other places to remove this nuisance. Take a look at the attached screenshot. Things like this are not welcome without a way to disable it.

Do you have any documentation or instructions I can use to disable this childish nonsense and restore an adult browser again?

I've pretty much exhausted my simple little mind about this problem. At some point around the beginning of the year, Firefox changed the fonts on all my toolbars to some ridiculously miniscule font. I've queried Google's AI several times, tried every solution I've received, all to no avail. Is there a way to do this? I just want to enlarge the font in all the toolbars, not the web site contents, and lock it in. Thanks to whoever can help me achieve this.

How do I get the full url line of where I am currently on the homepage back for the search line, or the old full browser line? Have been looking in settings and haven't located it.

About ready to leave firefox over it, and been here for years.

Thanks,

Michelle

In Windows 11, how do I add the Firefox icon to the extreme top left of its webpages?

When I switch tabs to Firefox, typically using Alt+Tab, I am often unsure at first which program I am in. I have searched Firefox settings, and googled extensively, and there seems to be no way to add the icon back. I believe that it was once there, but I am unsure of this.

Almost every other program places its icon on the top left of its pages. Surely it is possible to do the same in Firefox, which just has an empty space there.

(But I am wrong on the last point, because Edge, which I rarely use, also has no icon there. Surely Firefox does not want to share any problem that Edge has!)

Up until a few days ago, whenever I opened Firefox a right-side sidebar would open with the bookmark directory - including all bookmark folders visible at all times. Now I can't find how to do that. Instead there is this awful hover feature that has a VERY clunky and time consuming way to find an individual bookmark. How to change back to the prior method? Can I revert to the prior version of Firefox? Thank you!

I posted this a few days ago but can't find it to see if someone replied.

Hello I've inadvertently changed my Firefox settings while I was using the new background feature. The pages are now all white and text boxes on programs highlighted. Many aspects are highlighted and I can't see the cursor at times. Would you point me in the direction to get support please? thank you, Susan

I cannot click into the box below: ' Email me when someone answers the thread'

I want the page to be on a certain zoom say like 50%, I put it on that level and then close firefox and restart. I then check the box that says zoom text only and it resets the zoom level of the page again. I does not stay at on the zoom level I selected. Like zoom text only is not checked in the hamburger menu.

I wanted to change my Firefox font to one that I downloaded on my computer, but I am not very smart and can't really figure out how to change it since it doesn't appear on the list of fonts I can change it to in settings. I have it as a .ttf file if that's relevant.

Hello! Please report this bug to the developers. When I first launch Firefox after turning on my computer, the window title bar and buttons in the upper right corner (like "Minimize," "Minimize to Window," and "Close") sometimes disappear. If I minimize the browser via the bottom taskbar and then restore it, these buttons and the title bar appear. I'm using Windows 10 x64, with a screen resolution of 2560x1440 (scaled to 125%, but I don't think this has anything to do with the scale or resolution, as other browsers (Opera, Edge) don't have these title bar issues).

See screenshots at the links: https://imgur.com/a/Hbc9yvE (There are two screenshots: 1 - with the window title and buttons (as it should be), 2 - when the window title and buttons disappear)

I've noticed that if I let Windows sit for a while after turning on the PC (2-3 minutes) and then launch Firefox, the problem with the disappearing title bar and buttons seems to disappear. Apparently, Firefox doesn't have time to load properly after Windows loads, and if I launch Firefox almost immediately after Windows loads, the problem described above occurs. And when the OS sits for 2-3 minutes, Firefox apparently loads all its services and processes normally and then works normally, without this error. Firefox ver.: 150.0.3.
