Hi Team,

Why can't I disable the Search Tab option that is annoyingly cannot be removed in the Customize Toolbar option? Also, why isn't there a settings option to adjust the size of the tab height? Also, instead of mentioning as "Playing" at the bottom and thereby making the tab height bigger why not just show a sound icon before the tab name to indicate the tab is playing some media?

Also, kindly if there is a way to continue extending the support for ESR, that'd be great

Regards, Imran

Hello,

To remove the Search Tabs button, try setting browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled Firefox preference to false in the Configuration Editor:

  • Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.
  • A warning page may appear. Click "Accept the Risk and Continue" to go to the about:config page.
  • Enter browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled in the Search preference name box.
  • Set the browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled preference (named exactly like that) to false by toggling the Toggle button (or just double-click on the preference).

Does it help?

Regarding your feature suggestions, you are welcome to submit them on Mozilla Connect, but note that ESR gets only security updates.

Regarding Firefox ESR 115, its support end is currently scheduled for August 2025. I'll make sure your request is considered.
