Hi All:

I just got a new laptop and so I am getting everything set up the way that I like it. I have come across a problem with my sidebar though. I like to keep my bookmarks up all the time, but I want them to not be too wide and take up a lot of my screen. On this new computer, there's an addition 5 cms or so of white space at the far left of the tool bar. It had different buttons on it up at the top (one of them had something to do with AI) and a little gear down at the bottom of the space. I was able to remove all of the buttons up at the top, but I can't seem to hide the whole thing. I just want to see my bookmarks, without that extra customization sidebar. Is there a way to hide the spot highlighted in pink, but still have the bookmarks visible?

My profile images have weird graphical issues behind the profile images. I don't find anyone else mentioning this but I am sure I am not the only one. What can I do to fix this, it is very annoying.

This may sound really stupid to some but I get really ticked that the 'refresh' arrow is so far away from the URL. I have to use my trackpad to do this and it's a pain to have to go so far. Every other browser has it right next to the address bar. It may sound lazy but I'm 70, have arthritis and try not to overuse the track pad. Harumph!

As you can see Chrome has it right next to the address bar while Safari's is contained right in it. A simple thing but it can make all the difference. Does it but anyone else?

I picked one of the approved Themes; however, after making some moves on the browser, it reverts to the system theme. How do I make the theme I choose stay regardless of the actions that I may take?

Can one change the colour of one firefox window to distinguish it from another firefox window? That would allow two people working on the same computer to use individual firefox windows and be able to quickly tell whether they are in the right window.

Yesterday on Firefox, I discovered that when I Googled questions, the tabs loaded with a blank 2” left margin indented space. See screenshot attached. This occurred after FF update 147.0, and I have Mac Tahoe 26.2. I see from researching this that it’s a problem after the last FF update, as follows:

The left margin indentation glitch in Firefox 147.0 on macOS Tahoe is a known issue, likely related to rendering or graphics settings conflicts within the new macOS version. Potential fixes include disabling hardware acceleration or checking specific feature flags in about:config.

I refreshed FF, and now all bookmarks I had minimized have the 2” blank margin. How do I get it back to normal so that the text has no huge left margin?

Why was it done? Is there a setting I can change so I can see them work as animated favicons? Will you change this on your next update? Otherwise, I am going to have to roll-back the version.

When Windows 11 reboots, and Firefox is restarted, it opens a very tiny window in the upper right part of the computer screen. Why is this? I believe I reported this before but it still is not resolved.

I'm having trouble with the ui elements on firefox, the min/max/close buttons are showing some random characters and the menu also shows an "Á" besides some options.

Here's what I tried: reinstalling, clean reinstall, delete start cache, fresh restart, troubleshoot mode, On windows: restore font configuration, sfc /scannow, dism cleanup-image restorehealth, deleting all aditional installed fonts and saving only system included fonts.

Still, the font on tabs and some menus looks strange, and the problem with buttons and menus keeps happening.

I don't really know what else to do

The Firefox icon looks like it has a shopping cart on the top-left hand side. What is this for? It is only happening on the Windows 11 taskbar (not the desktop or menu shortcut).
