new update destroyed old firefox look i love those old sqarish tabs please give us option to switch back to old firefox look, themes, styles... in settings, i dont see it anywhere, the tabs were perfect like they were new look of tabs is horrible (at least to me) is there some way to return to old look. Ai said to me to play around with a userChrome.css file but i still cant get the old look no matter how much i try, it gets worse and worse, worst case scenario is it possible to send me a css file of old tabs / toolbar look or something i feel like someone moved every single furniture in my home, the feeling is terrible. new icons are okay but old toolbar and even search bar is better in older version, i loved more the old look why is there no option to revert back to old theme look i used for years.

Firefox just forced a terrible update on me that makes everything look round and different and I hate it so much. I don't understand why they think people want things to change all the time instead of being allowed to get familiar with something and now have it change on you without even asking if you want it to change!

The text of selected tab if I set on Light mode is white when widget.windows.mica and browser.theme.windows.accent-color-in-tabs.enabled flags on about:config are turned on. This only fix if I switch to dark mode.

This bug even exist prior to Firefox 157 release, where Nova UI refresh was available but disabled by default.

Hi, I recently opened my browser and noticed that all the tabs are now rounded instead of rectangular. I'd like to restore them to their original appearance, but I can't find anywhere how to do it.

Ever since the last update, I can no longer watch recordings on xfinity stream with Firefox. What happened? Can I fix it? I sometimes have to start watching programs late, but they wont play while recording. I can watch those same recordings when they are finished, but not while they are still recording. I can watch those same recordings while recording on Chrome and Safari so it's not an xfinity problem. But for some reason not on Firefox anymore Is there a setting I need to change? Thanks Ron

Firefox is taking minutes to load tabs and once loaded it goes offline. It has been going offline for some time but it was only for short periods and I was blaming my router or internet connection but recently the offline periods have gone on for so long that Firefox is unusable and I have had to revert to another browser. There are no error messages other the "offline"

For some reason, Firefox is all messed up . Happened suddenly. Some sites are blocked and says " ⚠ Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com"

But I'm not using Strict mode. Standard is set.

Or Malewarebytes will block the site and I have to click Continue.

Or in Yahoo.com, Yahoo is written in big black letters on top, and as I scroll down, there's nothing but empty boxes, all on a white background.

No, this is not happening on Chrome. All is normal.

What is going on?

I updated my Microsoft office to the latest office 365 desktop version. The install changed something, and any link in an e-mail now gets sent to Edge, rather than Firefox. I checked all the file extensions and made sure they all point to Firefox, but the problem is still there. Any suggestions for what to try next?

Hi Team, I am facing an issue that i have setup the download setting of PDF file as save file and automatically download in my system. but firfox is not working as expected.

When I login to a site where there are many widgets (windows) on the screen - the windows are all missing scroll bars. If I login under a different browser they are there. This happened about a week or so ago. It has to be a setting change in Firefox. Please advise.

In the new update, the gradient is mandatory which is okay fine, probably will be themes that revert that, but tabs are floating buttons.

It's not the end of the world, but it's something that is both completely illogical (since they're tabs, they're linked with the window below them — they are TABS, like in a pocket phone book or office file), and visually confusing.

And they're now even more weakly highlighted (there is in fact NO highlighting, only a tiny outline), it's difficult to discern which tab is active. It was already a bit hard on dark themes in recent versions.

I think these are not just knee-jerk reactions, like "make it like it was", although I admit there is a part of it there. But even taking a step back, how does this improve the experience? I can't see which tab is active, the coloring is non-uniform across the wide window so it's even harder, and the tabs do not connect to their window.

Hi, since the latest update, whenever I'm in a tab (e.g. email or personal website) and I go to upload files, all tabs show the last location of the last upload from any tab whereas previously they showed the location of the relevant tab. E.g. on a tab for my website it would previously open the location of my website files and if I switch to my email tab it would open the location of my email attachments. Now it doesn't seem to remember the loaction by individual tab it just starts in the location of the used loaction across all tabs.

Not sure if that makes sense, it's very annoying as I have to keep searching the location again between tabs.

Can this be changed back please so it remembers locations on a individual tab basis and not globally?

Thanks

First the laggy, extremely slow issue was just noticed on YouTube. Now I notice it on Rumble and other sites. For now, I have to abandon Firefox and use an alternative browser. I've stayed with you for years. Maybe it's time to part ways. I really like your browser. But, it has become nearly non-functional for me.

Actually, I believe the aspect of a browser that should not be changed casually is the UI that users interact with while browsing, such as tabs and sidebars. Any changes to configurable UI elements are acceptable, but Firefox should now refrain from altering the UI and instead focus entirely on fixing bugs and optimizing performance. The UI represents the face of a browser, and constantly changing it not only fails to attract new users but also neglects the needs of existing ones.

YouTube videos are frequently buffering and sometimes play slowly in Firefox, even when my internet connection seems to be working normally. Please help me identify the cause and suggest steps to fix the problem. I would also like to know whether any Firefox settings, extensions, cache, or hardware-acceleration settings could be causing this issue.
