I use Firefox to manage an online course. For some parts, I want to zoom in to see detailed diagrams etc. In other parts, I want to see at a glance a simple list of submissions. So I have 2 windows (with their relevant tabs) open. But when I zoom into the first, the other window zooms in, so I lose most of the listing. How do I set the zoom differently in the two windows?

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.

This bug was also discussed on the forum by some other users, and they are also experiencing this bug: https://forum.mozilla-russia.org/viewtopic.php?pid=818805

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!)

It's very tricky the clone a FF profile, so I want to avoid that. (If there is a SIMPLE way to clone a FF profile, that would suffice. I have found no such animal.)

I would like to start Firefox by invoking different UserChrome.CSS files.

Is that possible?

I am not intereted in RUNNING both these simultaneously.

yes, I realize I could go through renaming and unrenaming files before starting FF to achieve this. But, I am I'm looking for a method using native FF resources.

Just did a Mozilla update and noticed the Incognito Mode isn't working the same. I can click a link to New Private Window, but it looks exactly the same as a regular window. Incognito Mode was always purple which help me know I was in that mode. Anyone else notice this? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Subject: Feedback: Please Show Full URLs by Default and Disable “Show Search Terms in Address Bar” by Default

Hello Mozilla Firefox Team,

I would like to suggest two changes to Firefox’s default address bar behavior that would improve transparency, usability, and user trust.

1. Show Full URL Addresses by Default

  Currently, Firefox hides parts of the URL such as “https://” and sometimes simplifies the displayed address. I believe Firefox should display the complete URL at all times by default, including:

• Protocol (`https://`)
• Full subdomains (`www`, `m`, etc.)
• Complete path when relevant

Displaying the full address helps users:

• Better verify website authenticity
• Detect phishing or deceptive domains more easily
• Understand exactly where they are navigating
• Maintain consistency with technical and professional workflows

2. Disable “Show Search Terms in the Address Bar on Results Pages” by Default

  The feature that replaces the actual search engine URL with the search query text can be confusing and reduces transparency. Many users expect the address bar to show the real URL of the page they are visiting.

I recommend disabling this feature by default because:

• It hides useful navigational information
• It makes copying/searching URLs less predictable
• It can create ambiguity about the actual site/page being viewed
• Advanced and privacy-conscious users generally prefer seeing the real URL

Users who prefer the simplified search-term display could still enable it manually in settings.

Firefox has traditionally been a browser focused on user control, openness, and transparency. These changes would align well with those principles.

Thank you for your work on Firefox and for considering this feedback.

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.
