I cannot see the text I highlight for copy or links so I don't know if it's copied or not- is there a way to adjust that? It's very irritating..

I have an iMac

Hi anyone got any suggestion on how to get the Firefox search bar in the middle of the page, like before please. I do not like using the search bar in the taskbar, i know. First World Problems!! ;)

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I'm experiencing a visual issue when typing in text input fields (such as input boxes or textareas) in Firefox. While typing, a dark overlay or block appears behind the current word or text I'm typing, which makes it very hard to read. It looks like some kind of highlight or shadow, possibly related to spellcheck or text recognition.

This issue occurs across different websites and makes it uncomfortable to type for long periods. I'm currently using Firefox [137.0.2] on Windows 10.

I've attached a screenshot that shows the problem clearly.

Things I've tried so far: - Disabling spellcheck - Changing themes - Disabling extensions - Testing in private window

None of these solved the issue.

Notably, switching to the **light theme** makes the issue disappear — the text input background becomes clear and easy to read again. However, I prefer to use the **dark theme**, so I’m looking for a solution that works in dark mode as well.

Can anyone help identify what's causing this or suggest a way to disable this effect while keeping the dark theme?

Thanks in advance!

Is there a possibility to keep the tabs at the top while in full-screen mode, or make it an option? As I need tabs but work best in full-screen mode so windows is pushed to the side.

Firefox now has a dark background on a "simple" html page without css styling (see screenshot #1). You may reproduce this issue by browsing to a local page like http://localhost:8080 with something like a 404-page (see screenshot #2)

That far - dark mode is cool, isn't it? Yep, it would be. If the text would not be black, on a dark background.

Happens to me without any plugins, or any userChrome etc. (Screenshot was taken with plugins on, but disabling them (and restarting) had no effect)

Workarounds discovered: - set `layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override` to 1 (This changes nearly everything to white, which is not what I want.

- Setting theme to the builtin white/light works, but:

    - View Source has white text on white background (see screenshot #3)
    - Everything is in light mode, and thats simply not what I want

What I would expect: - Viewing a page without shitty modifications - Viewing a white page (suprise suprise) white

(please excuse spelling/grammar errors made, I am not a native speaker)

Some extensions, like Bitwarden or Notes, seem to have added their own shortcut icons between the settings cog and the other functions below the tabs, with seemingly no way to remove them? I already have them in my regular toolbar / extension overflow, which has much more space available, so I don't see the point of why there's duplicate ones in the sidebar taking away tab space?

Hi, I'm trying to hide my tabs bar so I can reduce clutter with the Tree-style tabs extension, but there is a problem Every solution I've found also hides the X, maximize, and minimize buttons above it. Is there any way to fix this? I have a userChrome.css file already, by the way.

Sometimes, for the past year or so, the icon for the cursor in the search bar will get large and obscure the text near it. Here's a pic.

I always have the latest version of both Firefox and the Mac OS.

Thanks for any help.

Is there any person out there whether from the FF Staff, Developers, Community or End-Users who know how to resize the latest grotesque FF Interface of the latest download version 136.0.1? All my extensions have disappeared. The side bar is too wide. Both the Tools and Menu bars are grotesquely wide.

What is the point in Mozilla FF asking for Feedback End-Users, Community, to Contribute. if it is not going to take on board their views?

Please, do not leave this matter just to the public to deal with, You FF should deal with it for it is your product.

Is there a working way to move tabs to bottom currently?

This was working until the latest Firefox update and I do not specifically remember how I had changed it last time but I believe it was via the about:config settings page but I no longer see such an option there. I tried achieving this via 3rd party plugins/extensions for Firefox but not a single one worked for the current version of Firefox. I even tried using the UserChrome.css file, as I found an article about this in the forum but it did not work either.

In the attached screenshot I have shown what I have currently and what I used to have and wish to set again if possible.

OS: Firefox version: 136.0.4 (64-bit)

My bookmarks and favicons keep disappearing. Yesterday they disappeared, so I rebooted my computer and the bookmarks came back, but not the favicons. I had to click on each bookmark to get the favicon to load, but even that didn't work on each one (and no, I am not going to click on every single bookmark I have, that would be ridiculous!). This has happened several times this month. I was hoping the last update would fix it, but nope, still happening. Currently using 137.0.1

I am currently using Firefox Desktop Version for Mac 137.0.1. I tried to use the new vertical side bar instead and even though my browser is in dark mode, the vertical side bar is in light mode. Please, see attached image.

In the recent update, my add-ons/extensions from my toolbar menu were removed. The add-ons are listed and active, but I can't select them in my toolbar menu as I need them because they are not showing. Is this an update change or a setting change, or do I need to do something to restore them? When I look at the Customize toolbar settings, they are not listed there to add to the toolbar.

I also looked to see if I had a previous profile to load, but it is not showing any.
