I open my history with the shortcut of CTRL+H. Since the latest update, when I do so the sidebar opens up with it (which is fine for now), but then when I close the history with CTRL+H again, the sidebar remains.

I would like the window control buttons to stay static rather than appearing when I mouse over them. I keep accidentally activating it when trying to change tabs and it is really inconvenient. Thanks!

If I don't use the custom adjustments in my Chrome css, seven buttons on that right side of the menubar are hidden, including the min-max close buttons.

This is problematic when I'm troubleshooting Firefox, and the css is disabled. If I want to close or take the browser out of max mode, I must move those buttons to the navbar, which has no such restriction accommodating those buttons, not to mention why is it necessary for that min-max close trio to monopolize 20% of the menubar. Waste of space. Inefficient.

I'm also curious why must that frame at the top of this sites pages remains persistent, and follows the user down the page, so that when you're composing, and accidentally (and all to often) touch one of those links, it get superimposed over the message, and you must move the cursor to the bottom of the page get rid of it. Not to mention, that frame shrinks the working area of the page about 30% vertically.

I mean, once you have already navigated to the destination page, and you're composing, how often/likely are you going to need to access that area?

I like keeping my search bar clean. In addition to the Favorites star, now there is a "add tab to taskbar". On occasion (not sure what triggers it to appear) there is also a "Toggle reader view" icon as well. How can I control what symbols appear in my search bar. I only want what I need not what Firefox thinks I need. Dislike this feature.

I have been using the synchronization of bookmarks and settings with my account for years. A few days ago, Firefox suddenly asked me if I wanted to create a profile. Since I had never used this feature in depth before, I selected the default “Original Profile” option. Since then, the profile name “Original Profile” has always been displayed in the tab title bar. I don't understand the point of this, but it causes me major problems because I manage my passwords using KeePass. To log in to the desired pages with Auto-Type, KeePass recognizes the tab title bar and automatically enters the data. Due to the above-mentioned change in Firefox, all my passwords are now useless because the profile name is displayed everywhere in the title bar and I would have to resave Auto-Type for all stored passwords (several hundred). This is very annoying. Why was this introduced and why is there no option to disable it? Very annoying!!!!!

When will there be a solution for this?

For some reason, after a restart everything in the Firefox Gmail window suddenly increased in size --- the print, symbols, everything. See pic below. I don't know if is a Firefox or Gmail problem.

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!

I have a Firefox icon on my Windows11 desktop, Start, and one on the taskbar. If I click one either the Firefox icon on the desktop or Start I will get another icon on the task bar and I can do this over and over on my personal desktop getting many Firefox icons.

I just purchased a new Dell Windows11 desktop and have installed Firefox. I set it up just like my personal desktop and have icons on the desktop, Start, and taskbar but every time I click the Firefox desktop or Start icon I don't get a separate icon in the taskbar but they pile up behind the original Firefox on the taskbar. If the cursor hovers over the Firefox icon then I can see the multiple Firefox homepages that I generated.

I have searched for an answer to this problem but have been unsuccessful. I would really appreciate some thoughts on this issue. Firefox has been my one and only browser for many years and I love it 99% of the time, just not this one time. :-) Thank you in advance. Chuck Hall

In "Language and Appearance" Dark theme is selected. Also in "Themes" the dark theme is selected. Some websites are displayed in light colours, despite this, which is an annoyance, but not yet a problem. The problem is the "light" websites are displayed in pink-ish palette, which seems to correspond to the default light theme. browser.display.background_color is set to #FFFFFF, so no pink here. privacy.resistFingerprinting, which should have no impact, but one help article suggest that it might interfere is set to false The problem appeared after the last restart, which may also mean the last update. Any ideas how I can make either the dark theme work properly or at least have the webpages displayed in their original colours rather then pink hue?

The bookmarks toolbar in the previous Firefox version shows the custom icons for each bookmark. After the update to version 146.0.1 the icons have all turned to generic line-drawn globes. There are a few exceptions, including Google Maps and Proton Calendar. However, other Proton bookmarks do not show properly. Is there a way to bring back the associated icons?

The to bar on my browser window - the one above the menu bar - keeps disappearing. I don't know what it's called or I'd tell you, but it's the one in the attached screenshot that says, "Get Support...", etc.

Ever since the "new" profiles were introduced (not to be confused with those you can access and edit via about:profiles - naming both profiles is immensely confusing tbh), the name of the profile you are currently using is added to the taskbar element. For example, if the support main page os your current open tab, the taskbar element will say: Mozilla Support- Profile name- Mozilla Firefox. I see no need for this, so I would appreciate an option to remove the profile name
