Seems like the newest Firefox update (131.0) changed the way my Home Page (on the new tab) looks. WHY??

Now there's a giant logo taking up a fifth of the vertical space, forcing me to scroll to see my shortcut icons. WHY????

Oh, and the shortcut icons are now spaced farther apart and are significantly smaller. WHY????????

I set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.logowordmark.alwaysVisible to false but the logo is still present.

Please revert these changes. Or, if someone could provide me with some tips on how to edit the userchrome.css or whatever, that would be great.

Windows 11 FF 131.0.3 64-bit

This has been an intermittent problem since the update before this one. The screen freezes and nothing works, no mouse, no keypad, nothing. Ctrl-Alt-Delete doesn't even work. There is no way to shut it down except the power button. It happens at different times, and doesn't seen to have one trigger. I've run troubleshooter, but no change.

It was happening in the previous update, but it seems worse in this one. I asked about this on Reddit a few weeks ago, and someone else said he was having the same problem.

Hello all

There was a pop-up on my Mac'S Firefox asking if I allow Firefox access to my local network devices. I clicked on 'No' And obviously now I can't access for example my router's webpage or any other webpage fromo any devices on my local network. How I can switch it back? Internet access is working fine.

Many thanks, Bogdan

Hi there,

Hope this message finds you well.

I am presently having trouble loading websites and speed times are very slow.

Been using firefox for 7 years and never had an issue on linux versions. Though on macos I seem to be having these slow load times.

Also rendering images and content takes quite a while to do this.

I am currently running Firefox 131.0.3 (aarch64)

This is on a iMac m3 running Macos sonoma 14.6.1

I have compared this with safari and chrome and it seems to be much better.

Is there a test I can run to see if everything is okay?

thanks for making the best browser ever!

Best always

Benji

How to shrink this vertical space? (see attached image)

Ever since 131.0.0 my shortcut icons got all messed up so I am trying to restore the original look. I've already removed the giant Firefox logo and made my icons larger. Now I need to condense them so I don't have to scroll to see them all.

Here's what I have so far in my userContent.css:

/* Minimize the size of the logo and wordmark on the Home/New Tab pages */ @-moz-document url(about:newtab), url(about:home) {

 .logo {
   background-size: 0px !important;
   height: 0px !important;
   width: 0px !important;
 }
 .wordmark {
   background-size: 0px !important;
   height: 0px !important;
   width: 0px !important;
   margin-inline-start: 0px !important;
 }

 /* Expand the shortcut icon images to max size on the Home/New Tab pages */
 .top-site-outer .tile .icon-wrapper {height:100% !important; width:100% !important;}

}

I know that typically mozilla does not put a low bound on advisories, and https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-40/ is the advisory for vulnerabilities fixed in ESR 128.2. CVE-2024-8387 is listed here. yet the advisory for 115, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-41/ does not list this vulnerability. Was this something that was only impacting 128 (for the ESR builds) or is there a mistake that either 115.15 did patch it but it wasn't documented, or the patch has been missed and ESR 115 is still vulnerable?

Hello, how can I remove or hide "List all tabs" btn?

Set "browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled" as "false" stopped working for me after update to version 131.0. Hiding the btn before version 131.0 was not a problem.

I saw in release notes that "List all tabs" got some changes. link

I really strongly dislike - ok, I hate Google's AI in search results. How can I disable it? Can someone please come up with an add on to block it? I can block it in Chrome by signing up for their labs and blocking it there (weird solution) but I cannot disable it in Firefox

Hello, I am a web developer and I love your browser very much because it is an excellent environment for developers and provides me with all my needs

Of course, I use the features of modifying the CSS on the web page for my own project, for speed, while transferring the modifications is annoying and takes up my time, so I would like to ask if there is a feature that enables me to save the modifications to the current file or the CSS file of the page.

I hope that this feature will be added

I'm doing a research paper with about fifty open logged in tabs. if I sent each one, one at a time, and re-logged in from all my tabs on my tablet/phone it would take about a half hour at least. What's the deal? I used to be able to do this. But now... there's no "sign in and sync" like the web help says. There's no "right click on the device" like Google says, there's nothing like what Bing says to do. Are you telling me that since tech and data has INCREASED, that abilities have DECREASED?! Please don't give me the diatribe that "it's a security issue" because it's not. Syncing is password protected. I'm on a windows surface pro tablet, I've tried it on my desktop, too. I've tried it on my galaxy s23 ultra phone (not the source of the tabs) and on my galaxy s6 tablet. nothing.

I've added Firefox to multiple PCs and phones in the past. I just upgraded my PC and had to reinstall Windows so I also had to reinstall Firefox. It seems like everytime I install Firefox on a new device or reinstall it it keeps re-adding my bookmarks. My bookmarks menu is now like 400 bookmarks long, most of which are duplicate bookmarks or bookmarks that I deleted long ago. How can i stop this from happening and how can I get rid of all these duplicate bookmarks without having to delete them one at a time?

There are three accounts I have to use regularly to pay bills.

On one of them (PG&E), FF is useless. Can't even log in.

On the two others, banners come up that say FF is unsupported. Both still usable for the moment, But the future....

I fear FF is going to become unusable/irrelevant in my work-flow in the near-term future if the trend in my skewed sample continues.

I recently got a new computer, Apple iMac. I'm trying to transfer all my bookmarks I have on my older HP computer to the newer computer Apple. I downloaded the Firefox browser to the iMac. I see where there is a link to transfer bookmarks when I loaded the browser. But, when I click on the link, nothing really happens? There is no transfer of my bookmarks for my old computer to the newer computer. My OS with my older HP was Windows 7. My OS with my acquired Apple is Monterey. Can someone be of help with transferring bookmarks from one computer to another? I have many bookmarks so it would be very helpful to be able to make that transfer. Thank you.

On Mac, when FF is idle for a few minutes, its widow disappears...

Often happens also on "main" screen (laptop) intermittently.

To bring back I have to click on the FF icon on the Mac LaunchPad.

Have tried playing with hardware acceleration off/on and setting up "separate spaces" for monitor and "main" screen. None work.

Found an app to generate clicks periodically at the (x,y) of the FF icon on the LaunchPad, but such is mickey-mouse and not really acceptable.

A few versions back (sorry, can't saw how far back), the above was not a problem.

I did file a bug on Bugzilla, but have seen any acknowledgment. Similar problems are recorded on the 'net.

I recently started having a problem with my banking website. Before I could investigate or report it, Mozilla released a bug fix 1923500 "Firefox 131 Enhanced Tracking Protection major breakage of multiple banks Bill Pay services" I have updated to Firefox 131 however, there may still be a problem, however before I report it I'd like to verify if it's simply that their link is broken. Let me explain: On my bank's website there is "Payment Inquiry" link with this link "https://paybills.MyBankName.com/imm/Auth/SLO/4661?ReturnUrl="

What happens is that it sends me back to the login screen, I navigate to the Payment Inquiry again, click the link... rinse and repeat... in an endless loop. I suspect that the URL is malformed because there is nothing following the "=" sign. I would expect something to follow the equal sign. Is this indeed a bad URL? Should I pursue with my bank? I only ask because is seemed more than a coincidence that this occurred near the same time as bug fix 1923500.

Hi,

I have an odd problem with a friend's Firefox and Thunderbird on Windows. The font changed to white in the address bar, the tab titles, some content on websites, some elements of the settings etc.

From what I can see there is no difference to my settings under "Language and Appearance". When I create a new profile either with the profile manager in Firefox or by renaming "%appdata"\Mozilla Firefox", nothing changes. So I can rule out a custom userchrome.css or similar in the profile folder. When I switch to "troubleshoot mode" with the old or the new profile, everything looks fine.

It also affects Thunderbird, but no other programms.

I can't figure out, where the problem lies.
