What has happened to Firefox over the past few days? Mine has become almost unusable!

Facebook fails to load (it's a pain having to constantly clear the cache in order to re-sign in). Websites that I use to make hotel bookings fail to proceed past the login stage, online forms fail to show the required information to complete transactions.

All works well on Chrome - but I like the Firefox interface and have been using for many years.

Help!

Is there any way to revert to the old Firefox style before the update to 157.0 without downgrading? Bit too round for my taste and it's not as easy to recognise favicons, read tab names, and read bookmarks with the weird colour gradient in the background

The new lavender color for highlighting in the drop-down boxes and elsewhere is completely unwelcome. I want to restore the previous setting to blue. How do I do this? Lavender is a color I loathe and if I can't change it I will start using another browser.

Hello,

My Firefox interface is set to Ukrainian, and everything in the browser is displayed in Ukrainian. However, when Firefox shows a notification about an available update, the text of this notification is in russian.

I do not know russian and have never selected it anywhere in Firefox or in my operating system. I would also like to explain why this matters to me: seeing russian in my browser is genuinely unpleasant, because russia is waging a terrorist and aggressive war against Ukraine. For many Ukrainians, software defaulting to russian is not a minor localization glitch. It is something we actively want to avoid.

Why does this happen, and how can I make sure update notifications appear in Ukrainian?

System details: – Firefox version: 156.0.1 – Operating system: Windows 11 – Where I downloaded Firefox: mozilla.org

A screenshot of the notification is attached.

Thank you for your help!

I did the new browser update. It wiped out all of the back ups of all of my profiles on my system in the User profiles. I need to get back the profile I was using yesterday. I need this urgently.

hello, having trouble ading matthew714.com to my aol account on a samsung android phone...it is asking for a password...it won't take the p/w I use for my thankslord4me@aol.com account

Ok this latest UI appearance change is absolute dog feces. I hate it so much! It's so ugly! How do I change it back? I did not consent for my eyeballs to be assaulted like this. Did I mention it sucks? How do I change it back? 157.0.0.11

I can't get an attachment to an email message. When I select the 'attach' button, nothing happens. I recently cloned my C: drive and am concerned that something didn't get cloned properly

it seems I can't turn on VPN, it has x before VPN, I am in China right now, like to know how to change the location to Hong Kong. In China block a lot of website, I like to watch YouTube hope I am able to watch it.

My Firefox VPN is still showing as nearing my limit, despite it now being October everywhere in the world. Why hasn't it reset to 50GB? I've tried restarting Firefox and it didn't make any difference. It still shows "Getting close to your VPN limit. You have 2.2GB of 50GB left this month."

When i compose an email in TB i have to go back and correct. When i use Outlook 2019 (now possibly migrating to TB and / or Betterbird) i never have this issue as it always corrects the "i" to "I" when creating a sentence using UK language and dictionary pack settings. Why can't i do this with TB when composing.

Is there a setting for this. Many thanks in advance.

Today Firefox updated in my laptop (I have Windows 11) to its current 157.0 version, I found out that when I download something (and it is saved in my Downloads folder), whenever I want to upload ANYTHING to any other website I can upload something, the path somewhat gets stuck in the Downloads folder. ANYTHING.

I closed Firefox, thinking this was probably an error or something similar since it updated, I open again. I try to upload anything, the last path it remembers is exactly the one from where I'm uploading a file, but it's the same in every website I am using (instead of Firefox remembering the paths from each website I have used, for example, it would normally be Documents in "y", a random folder in Documents in "z", but now it's Documents in y, z, etc.). And then, I decide to download something... and then it gets stuck in the Downloads folder again. And it gets reset as I close and open Firefox.

I dunno what to do, haha. It's very annoying, because it's extra clicks... and then the path getting defaulted to Downloads if I'm downloading something, like saving an image.

This is probably a bug... as I didn't have this problem yesterday, and coincidently! This just started happening as Firefox updated to 157 (I also tested this in another profile I have for testing purposes - it's exactly the same behavior). I might have to report this as a bug.

I don't even know where to look at to "restore" this, I have searched a bit (if that's located in about:config), but frankly? I have found nothing, and those options I see suggested elsewhere are empty fields or I have to add them in the config flags? I also don't know about coding, tbh.

Is there a way to fix this or wait until Mozilla recognizes it might be a bug?

I can't see very well and I have trouble reading my tab names with the new update, Firefox 157.0. Is there any way to make the font size in Firefox itself larger? I can find settings to make font bigger on webpages, but not the interface itself.

If there is no option, where do I request it? Thank you.

Update: Windows 10 ease of access settings (Settings>Ease of Access>Make Text Bigger + Make Everything Bigger) do technically do it, but boosting the text everywhere causes problems on a lot of websites. I literally just want to do the tab names. thanks
