Firefox Community Forum

So I just updated to the newest version of Firefox today as of 10-5-26. Except that the purple new tab screen and header for private browsing windows that I really quite liked is not only gone, but the color that's replaced such is nearly black, making it not only much harder to see anything, but overall far worse to look at. Even worse, it doesn't change from such hardly at all regardless of theme, preventing me from correcting it.

I've attached a copy of the previous version of the new tab screen for private browsing that I managed to find for reference purposes, although such doesn't have the header included.

I would also like to take the time say that I've used Firefox for more than a decade, and I think because I haven't had an issue that's been remotely this bad to warrant creating an account to report such says something about how well Firefox has been working for me.

Hello, the QR-CODE that i scan with my cellphone for the 2 authentify wont work i have google authentify i think mabye it couse be need the time to actuell this progress of update that the code funktion funktions . Why i write you is not importent to me and you can help i hope you there have a sultion maybe for my account problem really dont no what the problem for that by the way Mozilla is nice regards Berkan

After an update (seemingly, I did not run 'sudo pacman -Syu'), the tabs have changed in look and to be frank i find the new layout ugly. How do I turn it back? Attached is a photo of the new tab groups, i couldn't get one of the circular tabs.

I use Bookmark Toolbar a lot. It has several menus, with submenus. But when they layer over top of each other, I get lost in which layer I am on and too often my mouse moves off the top layer, which closes it.

I would like to somehow change the colour of the menus, depending on the layer. Currently they seem to all be kinda grey, regardless of theme.

But if the first dropdown menu could be yellow and then the next be blue ... or whatever, it would be most helpful.

I suspect this is something that could be effected in userChrome.css, but I have no idea what to put in there to target the menus.

Any help or guidance you can provide is much appreciated.

Thanks!

I would like to use the VPN feature with my Firefox account, but it is not available or enabled for me. Could you please check my account and enable it, or let me know what I need to do to get access?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

My account says it was set up with a Gmail email account. When I attempt to add a secondary account it says I already have that account. But I only see my gmail account. How to I change my primary email?

Even though I unchecked the box next to "Tell websites not to sell or share my data", opt-out is not disabled, and I continue to get "Opt-out signal honored" on websites I visit.

When I open many new tabs, I'd like them all to be loaded immediately (as soon as they the new tab is created, a.k.a. eager loading). The reason is that, when I click to actually see those pages, if they are already fully loaded, that will make user experience much smoother.

Please see attached image for a demo of current behavior: browser had plenty of time to load those new tabs in background, but it didn't.

I understand that lazy page loading is a way to preserve RAM and CPU cycles. I know that is usually a good thing for users who are used to working with only one thing at a time and/or have limited hardware resources. However, I think there should be an opt-in feature of eager loading, which would optimize a lot the time for experienced/heavy users.

Thank you!

you are blocking "entry.ostralia.cc" saying the ssl is expired....

  BUT SSLCHECKER   link text shows it's OK !     and   all other browsers allow it...    

   you could at least allow me to access it under the 'advanced' option like in earlier days... 

( the Host provider has mixed up billing for the 3 SSLs on my site , but all 3 are active and valid SSLs...)

And it is rather annoying that the report does not tell me which addon is misbehaving either. I do know it runs just fine without any addons enabled so hence, the problem lies with a buggy addon and I'm left in the dark about which one.

My Apple desktop crashes frequently in different applications (while in gmail, on Facebook, etc.) and it sends a report to Apple every time. It never does it if I use Safari. If I can reload Firefox to fix it please let me know how to do that. Thanks.

MacOS Tahoe 26.7.1 Firefox Ver 157.0 My download preferences are ignored and downloads go directly to download folder without asking. All downloads have a .part extension even after download is complete. I tried trouble shooting mode and then added a new profile but the problem happens in all instances.

Whenever I open Firefox on my MacBook Air and attempt to search via Google, I receive the following message from Google with a Captcha request to verify that I am not a robot. "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending this request." This does not happen in Safari nor when i use Google on my iPad or iPhone - all of which use the same IP address. I have refreshed Firefox and it is on the latest version. This started about two weeks ago. There is no malicious software on my computer. I have cleared all cookies and browsing history. Help!

When I watch YouTube videos, Firefox behaves strangely. After a few minutes of watching, I try to scroll to the comments, and then Firefox starts to lag. Scrolling becomes very sluggish, and the entire image freezes while scrolling. The website stops responding, but the sound continues. The only way to fix this is to minimize and then maximize Firefox. Then I can scroll again and the problem starts again. This problem occurs regardless of whether I clear the cache, use an ad blocker, or which screen I'm using Firefox on. Sometimes, one of my screens even freezes and displays stripes. However, this only happens when I'm using Firefox and YouTube. I have no problems with any other applications for exampmple playing games on one screen and let music streaming app playing on the other screen. Even my Cubase 15 work like sweet on booth screens without errors. Why is firefox acting so strange? Firefox never completly stops or closed itself.

Firefox Version 157.0 (64-bit). AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.8.1. Windows 11, version 26H2 installed October 1, 2026 (previous updates also had the same issue with firefox).

I also got some Firefox Updates when i opened it. I was hoping they catched the issue but it seems like the same.

Have a great day :)
