Animated icons worked in the previous versions and I like them. It was also a way in which Firefox differentiated itself from the Gobble/Microslop browsers.

Is there a way for me to enable animated icon viewing in the latest browser versions so I can continue to view them? I really hate that animated web page icons now appear as static icons. Hate, hate, hate.

So, I recently updated my copy of Mozilla Firefox, and I noticed something strange. The button for the built-in VPN is disproportionately large to other buttons and clickable elements. I don't see it in the release notes, so I doubt this is an intentional design choice by the UX team, at least I hope it isn't. Any help will be greatly appreciated, as it is really distracting.

If it helps, I'm using Mozilla Firefox 151.0.2 running under GNU/Linux Debian 13 Trixie as a Flatpak.

A while ago I made some changes in about:config and also in my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk,css file so as to control my scrollbar and slider -- making them more visible:

/* Log out, and back in for these changed to take effect: */

scrollbar { background-color: #cccccc; } scrollbar slider { min-width: 20px; }

/* dark green: pointer is not in the active window */ scrollbar slider:backdrop { background-color: #00aa00; }

/* green: pointer is in the active window but not on a slider */ scrollbar slider { background-color: #00ff00; }

/* dark red: pointer is hovering over slider but mouse button not pressed */ scrollbar slider:hover { background-color: #aa0000; }

/* red: slider is active */ scrollbar slider:hover:active { background-color: #ff0000; }

/* No effect: */ /* scrollbar-color: blue white; */

... it works half the time. Some pages obey the above settings but other pages continued to show a scrollbar about a mm wide with the slider so faint as to barely be visible. So, in 'about:config' :

widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override 30

... at least made the narrow scrollbar a bit wider. But how to change it's color? Doing this in a file:

~/.mozilla/firefox/5dqk4533.default/chrome/userContent.css:

html,body{

   scrollbar-color: yellow blue !important;
  }
.... doesn't change anything.  Is there some complete guide to controlling the srollbars?  Nice if it could all be handled in one place of course.

Is there the ability to highlight the open tab on the tab bar above the browser in a different colour this would help as well identify which tab we are working on for example if I am on Firefox, the tab above is highlighted in for example yellow so I’m aware that this is the open tap thank you

the resolution offered to my earlier question about removal of logo did not help and the youtube video also did not help. What am I doing wrong? Please consider me a tech 'idiot'.

Hello,

In Firefox (up to date), the “module” (right-click) that allows for direct translation is great, and I want to thank you for it.

However, do you plan to keep the “Windows 98-style” stamp-like format of the dialog box that opens for much longer? In 2026, on 27-inch screens, it’s honestly very annoying—even if you can zoom in just a tiny bit, it’s a pointless step and not ergonomic at all! It’s the little details like this that make us look elsewhere!

Thank you in advance for your understanding!

Greetings...

I successfully deleted the new weather widget that appears at the top right of my Firefox homepage but the horizontal space at the top of my homepage remains. I followed all of the steps (3) to delete the weather widget but none of them also deleted the horizontal space. As a result, there is a wide white top "margin" that appears on my homepage, below which the customary Firefox graphic logo appears.

On my Firefox homepage, I have three rows of shortcuts that now appear lower on the homepage and a vertical scroll bar now appears on the right side of the homepage. Before the new weather widget appeared on my homepage, the three rows of shortcuts were vertically centered on the homepage, without the need for a vertical scroll bar to appear.

Either there is a way that the horizontal space at the top of my homepage can be deleted, or I will have to resort to creating a custom HTML webpage containing my shortcuts.

Please advise which solution will resolve this problem. Thank you very much for your time and feedback.

Take care...

I cannot see my left side vertical list of my bookmarks (including 'other bookmarks'. Can you tell me how to access this list every time I open Firefox on my desktop and other sites?

bold text I want to include my bookmarks and other bookmarks on the left side of each site I am on. When I open Firefox I cannot see my vertical bookmarks as I always do.

When I try to customize the toolbar in Firefox the the browser goes to the customize toolbar / overflow toolbar page. However the page does not have any of the tools just a white blank screen. I did just relently refresh firefox

Whether or not I activate the "weather" display (top right of home screen), the blank space above the FF logo remains.

I have 4 shortcut rows displayed and have to scroll down so that I see the bottom row - this is a pain. If I could eliminate the blank "weather space" above the FF logo, my home screen would display all 4 rows properly i.e., no need to scroll up and down.

Thanks!
