Firefox Support Forum

I lost my laptop and had to get a new one and downloaded firefox. is there anyway to get my bookmarks back? it had links to my course work including passwords and such

Since we'll never know who's taking payoffs to drive away the Firefox user base...

How do I get rid of the ludicrous amount of vertical padding in my menus?

The FF89-90 workarounds no longer work.

userChrome.css coding doesn't work.

Surely somebody creative can find a way to overcome such deliberate stupidity.

Since the Firefox designers obviously don't care what users have to say, I'll forego the well deserved feedback on their design philosophy.

Hello, Since today, after a new update, when I open Firefox, it displays as a mobile. As you can see on the picture it believes it is full screen. When I try to switch to full screen either by using the button or double clicking the top bar, it then just changes position across my screen, I have to do it again and only then it accepts to fit my windows, it's super annoying. I don't have any entry with useragent changed in my about:config. Thanks in advance.

Depsite several complete installations and refreshes, this problem has been going on for months. When trying to get onto various sites, such as Cisco, I get the following error: "federated identity.cisco.com" in the top left of the page in plain text and nothing else. In the case of Cisco, this is the page it gets stuck at: https://cloudsso.cisco.com//as/IZKdB/resume/as/authorization.ping?

It's similar to this on other web pages and clearly an authorisation setting somewhere is reinstalling every time I reinstall firefox, causing the problem to repeat, despite removing all cookies and history and other settings.

Can anyone offer a solution?!

Thank you. Jamie

Since the latest update a lot has changed in firefox, most notably the new "floaty" tabs to make it more look like chrome... thanks but no thanks.

But a more serious issue is, in the settings, the checkboxes are not visible anymore. Well, the boxes are but i can not determine whether the options are checked or not. (see attached image)

I already tried: - Safe mode (same issue) - Windows dark/light mode (both fail to display checks) - Enabling/disabling add-ons (same issue) - Reinstalling firefox

When using eBay UK, certain features, e.g drop down menus and tabs don't work. I have noted the same issue on other sites also. My browser is up to date and I have cleared history, cookies, cache etc which has not helped the issues. These issues are only present on firefox, the sites work normally on other browsers.

In the last 2 days many problems with Firefox as you can see some below. There are more problems but in clicking one of your links below, I could not return to what I wrote. In addition I cannot check the box below "email me when someone answers the thread". Thanks B

Hi, I'm working with Firefox 91.0 (64bit). The newest update has changed something, that I need to change back:

When I klick on "bookmarks", the space between the bookmarks is much bigger than before, nearly double. Same thing, when I rightclick on an image etc. for download: much bigger space between the lines for choosing.

I've been told this can be changed in about:config, but I don't know what to do there and I also don't dare to change anything there without knowing exactly what to do.

Can you help me? Thanks a lot!

After the latest update, all of my browser windows have changed. In Gmail, there are white highlighted blocks on everything. In Google Docs there are now heavy lines and boxes where none existed previously. I've attached two images illustrating the problem.

this happens to me now and then and it is maddening. i just had to set up a new email account and password, and used the built in password saver feature in firefox, with usually is very good for this. but this time [and it has happened before] it did not have my email under the username field, so i was adding that and then suddenly the box vanished entirely. checking under my passwords, it was not saved at all. so now i am already locked out of my new email address i just made, it requires 2 step verification by default which was not set up yet. this system needs to be less accident prone than this so the end user can actually finish typing in their data and actually given the opportunity to save it.

My problem is the same as many people. The spaces between the bookmarks, now far too large. It was perfect until yesterday when there was an update. Why do they do this, I had the solution but now in their infinite wisdom they have removed this solution. You cannot contact them directly, so all in all, I think that it is time to find another browser. I am just fed up with it.

Again WTF Firefox Developers. Why can't you leave well enough alone. This design is very hard for seniors. Please tell me how to get my tabs back to individual rounded tabs instead of one long tab. WTH. Sorry, I'm so angry right now because my husband is having sciatic issues and I have to deal w/this sh*t. Please someone tell me how to fix this 91.0 hot mess.

Thank you

Passwords. 2 months ago I changed all my passwords. Ever since, although the new passwords always work initially, when I try to log in somewhere a few days or a week later, it often says password incorrect. So I then click forgot password and change it again to the same new password, and it accepts it just fine. Log in and out ok, and then it happens again several days or sometime even one day later. Not with all 60ish account, but with many of them, it seems at random. Do I need a firefox upgrade or reset or what???

After last Windows 10 Pro update, KB 5005033 08/12/2021, a number of changes took place with Firefox appearance after the system was restarted after the update. 1. Drop down menus changed to black background with white text. 2. I shut down Firefox 91.0 and restarted it and the drop down menus changed themselves to light gray with black text. Further, the text in the drop down menus, such as bookmarks in folders, is now double spaced. I did absolutely NOTHING to any settings in Firefox! I like Firefox as it was and I don't like change so I did NOTHING. 3. When a YouTube video is playing, the word PLAYING appears on the Tab. This is not a problem but it is a change I did not make. Two screen prints are attached. I am not a programmer. I am terrified to delve into about:config unless someone can give me guidance and if there are settings there that can fix my appearance issues. Note: None of the Chromium based browsers, Chrome, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi on my PC were affected. I have been a faithful Firefox user since version 1.0PR installed on 10/15/2004 I would appreciate any and all help! Thank you!

After enabling webgpu in about:config, I retried webgpu demos to find that there where now red bars (per my theme) in a transparent box. The transparent boxes containing these appeared basicly randomly in context menus and pages but always at the top of the screen

Hello all

Need some help please.

When I click on links on a certain newspaper they don't respond at all.

When I use a different browser it works just fine.

I am using an Apple Mac and my firefox is up to date and I have deleted cache.

Many Thanks
