Hello all:

Just downloaded version 140 and ran into an immediate "visual/appearance" problem with regard to the background color(s) of the sidebar bookmarks view. Many themes now have totally dark sidebar colors and not readable (see screenshot image upload with this posting). I always have my bookmarks (almost 1200 of them) displayed in my sidebar, and this is the first time an issue like this has arisen with a Firefox update.

To remedy this scenario, I must use very light colored themes that have a white background when you bring up the sidebar bookmarks. If not, everything is totally dark and unreadable.

Any ideas or help on this one?

I just updated Firefox and the bookmarks on the left become all black. Black font on black background. Unreadable. Before that, the font was white.

How do I change that ?

Thanks !

FF ver 140. just loaded and now all my sidebar bookmark fonts are black on black. How do I change the sidebar bookmark font back to white? When I disabled all Themes the white color came back, but enabling any theme and they the font turns black again.

Not sure why, but Gmail is not loading, then Ebay shows gmail pic broken, and can't log into ebay either. I can log on bot via private window tho I have removed all ad-ons, uninstalled adblock, still no go, this happen with Some of the Firefox updates, but different sites. Thanks

Hallo, ich arbeite gerne mit geöffneter Sidebar und bisher (bis Firefox-Version: 139.0 waren sowohl die Ordner der Sidebar, wie auch die in Ordnern abgelegten Webseiteneinträge immer in weißer Farbe (vor dunklem Hintergrund). Jetzt nach dem Update von Firefox auf Vers.: 140.0 ist der Hintergrund der Sidebar 'dunkelgrau' und die Schrift der Ordner und Webseiteneinträge sind in schwarzer Farbe, sodaß man diese nicht mehr richtig sehen kann; lediglich die Icon's der Webseiteneinträge sind in der entsprechenden Farbe/Logo der Webseite korrekt zu sehen. Liegt das jetzt am Update von Firefox 139.0 auf 140.0 ?? Die Sidebar war bis gestern noch korrekt und lesbar dargestellt !!

Hi,

I'm currently on Firefox Developer Edition version 136.0b6, and for some reason the search bar no longer displays the https:// header. Is it possible to turn this back on?

Hello. From time to time, a problem with tabs and the settings button in the Mozilla browser occurs. The tab close buttons and the settings button stop responding, are not pressed, tabs have to be closed manually using the right mouse button. Everything starts working after restarting the browser, but again after some time everything stops working again. This happened on version 138 and I observe it on 139. Installed Operating System: Garuda Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.14.9-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland

How do I move an addon from the TOOLBAR into the PUZZLE PIECE list? I can get them OUT onto the Toolbar.

Also, the Customize Toolbar / overflow menu won't accept anything, the addon just pops back out when dragged from the Toolbar.

I think this might be more of a Google issue, but it happens when using Firefox so I'll post it here. As of Jun 25, 2025, I have noticed dark black boxes appearing around my Google search results. I normally use a dark theme in Google, but the color is a muted grey/black. Today, however, dark black boxes have begun appearing around my search result. I really dislike the appearance as it is quite jarring. Interestingly enough, this issue only happens when signed into a Google account. Some Reddit users have reported having the same issue even in other browsers when using Google search. It seems to be something that Google has done on thier end but I was wondering if there was a potential workaround in the meantime.

Before upgrading to Firefox 140, I would always quickly switch between my default DuckDuckGo and alternative search options, like Wikipedia, using the up and down arrows. I would just type the search term in the address bar and then tap the down key a couple of times before pressing enter if I wanted to use a different search engine.

The new address bar no longer seems to offer this option. I see I can still select alternative search engines using the mouse, but pressing the down key no longer lets me select them.

Is it possible to re-enable this way of quickly switching between search engines using the keyboard?

I've got Reading the full Article on GROUP TABS that has been released yesterday on My Firefox it Got Update and Installed But I just couldn't found the "Add to the Group option when I click right at any of my tab" + If I drag over one on Another Tab it just got replaced like they substitute their Places No BOX Border line Shows No Group Created NOTHING. I'm a Nearly 6 Year Old Firefox User I NEEDED that FEATURE SO BADLY PLEASE FIX it SOMEHOW. ThAnks Regards: Loyal USer

Synced my new computer, received bookmark toolbar and 10 year old bookmarks from when i switched from interent explorer, but all my more recent bookmarks and bookmark folders are still missing on the new computer. Also didn't seem to transfer passwords and autofill info.

Hello,

I dislike the Group Tabs feature. So many times I've accidentally created a Group Tab and then had to figure out how to un-group them.

I've tried to change the value of the "browser.tabs.groups.enabled" preference to false, but it doesn't stick; after restarting, the value is always back to "true".

What’s up with this?

Thanks, Andre’a

I installed the new 140 update, and now when I open the bookmark sidebar, the "Search bookmarks" field is highlighted, and the entire list of bookmarks is darkened to the point that it's pretty much unreadable. This was never the case before. I NEVER use the 'search bookmarks' function. My bookmarks are organized into folders and sorted alphabetically. How can I undo this setting so the sidebar looks like it used to?

Thanks!

I was trying to Sort by Name, but hit Delete, because the right-click menu presentation shifted. No worries, Ctrl Z should undo on PC. Nope. Now I'm learning the only restore is through JSTOR/backup. I don't want to restore a previous state of operation. I want to un-Delete a folder. Is that a feature somewhere, somehow?

And secondly, can I force confirmation for all future folder deletions?

I turned on my PC after a long time, and it seems something about firefox has changed in the way I don't like. The logo to the extreme left of the address bar which shows "This time search with" options on left-click is annoying to the eye. Picture attached below. Is there anyway you can remove/disable that logo with about://config or anything else.

Using latest version of Firefox on linux.

System: Linux/Fedora41 Firefox: 136.0.4 Monitor: Acer 27" 1920x1080

When I open a FF window, it opens full screen vertically and to some width horizontally, both dimensions not desired. My usual style (for the MANY years I have used FF and Linux) is to use a FF window that is NOT full screen in either dimension since I normally have multiple windows open simultaneously. This FF behavior has started just recently.

This behavior occurs when starting FF from the FF icon on the desktop, when opening a new window from the FF main menu, or when opening a new window via the 'Open Link in New Window". (Perhaps other ways as well: these are those I encountered.)

I have tried: .... Opening FF/resize window to desired size/close FF using 'Quit': no change on restart .... Deleting the xulstore.json in the profile folder/restarting FF: no change on restart

I would like to restore FF to its previous action: open new windows at the same size as the last one referenced. Can someone help?

Thanks.
