Firefox has just introduced wallpapers for browser home page. I cannot get it to work. It's either cropped too small or pixilated, is there a setting I need to adjust, or a particular image format? So that it looks ok.

This concerns the display of bookmarksto the the left of the main display. Fot the record, this is installed om Magea Linux, vers 9, from the OS repository, and is Firefox vers 140.4.0esr ( 64-bit). Up until recently the display was variable in width, and once the box for 'show bookarks' was ticked, the bookmarks display opened in any new ;Firefox' brought up. With the two new features, I have a pair of niggles. One, is that the new sidebar, being fixed width, cannot be reduced. Taking up more screen 'Real Estate', that I consider would be better utilised for the main panel. The other niggle, is that ticking 'Show bookmarks' is not permanent and has to be re-ticked, for any new Firefox' display. I have another machine running the same version of Mageia. I opened this today, and it, while still showing the same version of Firefox, displays the old version. Perhaps, since the Mageia support section have not yet.sent a prompt for update. My query, is. Is it possible for me to return to the old style display, or is there a setting that will do so. The new display, having several options, is possibly an advance. But, for me, bookmarks display is paramount.

Thanks, Rod Goslin

Firefox 140.0.2 on Windows 11 All localization settings are correct (English / US)

I like to use the Inter font where I can due to its legibility, etc. I've used it as the default font in Firefox for a long time and I have Firefox set to not override fonts. Recently I've noticed some glyphs aren't getting rendered / chosen correctly. This is just one example (a message entry field on a forum) but I've seen it elsewhere so it's not just this page. See the attached images comparing Segoe UI and Inter.

Font issue or Firefox? I'm tempted to suspect the latter since I've used Inter all over the place previously without problems and being a font, once done it's done. I've also not seen issues in places using Inter.

Thanks.

Hi. I'm still new to Firefox and don't really know the settings very well. I recently switched over to using it and realized that when I use most drop down boxes the background of the drop down menu is black, but the text is white and the selection box (when you hover over the item) is also white. Making whatever I'm hovering over very hard to see. I'm wondering if I have a strange setting turned on or not?

Settings wise I have Firefox set to dark mode, not the auto. But when I use the auto it still happens. Trying it in safe mode it still happens. Iv tried to research this a little myself. And read something about the proton setting and turning that from true to false. But this also did not work.

Is there any way to fix this? I just need the text to be a different color or the selection box (when you hover over it) to be a different color.

Attached are two screenshots of what I'm seeing

Hello Since few weeks (maybe on firefox 132 already, but surely on firefox 133) I observe issue with my firefox UI. While grabbing and holding tab (to change its position, move it on bar), whole tab bar gets thinner which realigns my whole UI. Issue is probably caused by my custom userchrome.css but I need it in current or similar form. Maybe there is some css specialist who can help me remove unnecessary parts of code?

My css is as follows:

.tab-background{ border-radius: 0px 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; } .tabbrowser-tab:not([selected=true]):not([multiselected=true]) .tab-background{ background-color: color-mix(in srgb, currentColor 4%, transparent); } menupopup > menu, menupopup > menuitem{ padding-block: 3px !important; min-height: 0px !important; }

root{

--arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 2px !important; }

Good day everyone,

I have been breaking my head over this for about a week. After the last update that was installed, now my tab width is smaller than the minimum width I have set them to. However, this only happens with active tabs from pages that have an embedded video. At first I thought this was just a thing with YouTube, but it seems it also happens with other video sites. I guess it may be related to whenever the playback button displays in the tab title and it detects there is video content.

I would like to know how to fix this behavior so that my tabs are no longer shortened beyond the minimum width setting.

Thank you in advance.

Firefox Search Field changed to a drop-down with Icon + Search Engine Name instead of the previous 3-6 icons on a row with Search Engine Name only appearing when you hover over the Search Engine icon? How do I change Firefox back to the old Search Engine field user interface?

Attached is the new UI which takes up too much screen space if you have a lot of Search Engines installed in the Search Engine Field. I'd like to revert to the old code. If the old code is no longer in Firefox, what version do I have to downgrade to in order to get that old user interface back?

I see in one of the past recent updates, I notice that "- Original Profile" is in the windows and not just the title of the website I'm on. Any way to remove it? It looks off and not necessary to me.

Is there any person out there whether from the FF Staff, Developers, Community or End-Users who know how to resize the latest grotesque FF Interface of the latest download version 136.0.1? All my extensions have disappeared. The side bar is too wide. Both the Tools and Menu bars are grotesquely wide.

What is the point in Mozilla FF asking for Feedback End-Users, Community, to Contribute. if it is not going to take on board their views?

Please, do not leave this matter just to the public to deal with, You FF should deal with it for it is your product.

I cannot make fire fox work at all.for me. I need the file, edit, history, bookmark tool bar back. I'm pleading with you. Please I BEG you to uninstall the upgrade. Please let me have the Firefox I had last week. I,m 88 and will die before I ever!!!! i can't make anything work.I have over 5,000 bookmarks. I write for a few dollars to partly support myself. Right now I'm out of business. Where is the invisible email address? I have been using FIREFOX since it came out. i can't go through your circus. A browser should have a high degree of instinctive coordination, it shouldn't be similar to experts cryptic calculus level, when your totally unfamiliar with the level of calculus I'm sorry, I won't be able jump through hoops..

Hello. After updating to Firefox 138.0 (20250421163656), an issue has appeared that causes incorrect transparency behavior in the taskbar. The problem is that Firefox expands to full screen but continues to operate in windowed mode. After enabling full-screen mode (F11), the issue disappears until the next interaction with the browser. Nothing critical, just a bit annoying.

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.

Since the last update, my bookmarks sidebar does not open automatically when I open Firefox. A minor annoyance, perhaps, but an annoyance nonetheless, especially since it used to work until Firefox monkeyed around with it unnecessarily.

Every help I've found gives the same answer: Make sure the Bookmarks Toolbar is checked "Always Show." Well, it is checked, it was never unchecked, except that I tried unchecking and rechecking it in the vain hope that it would jumpstart something.

Is there any way to fix this? Or is it cursed forever?

I had to re-instal Firefox because I had problems with the latest update and now there is no fox icon top left hand corner and no file, etc., so I cannot send email link, print, etc. I would love for someone to assist me.

After the last update, I am missing the “Minimize” and “Close” buttons on Firefox on my Microsoft desktop computer. Cannot close the app when finished. Anyone know how I can get them back?
