Firefox Community Forum

I had an issue today while on the Geocaching.com website where I started getting a lot of virus warnings continually popping up on the webpage. This continued to happen even after I left the website and quit Firefox then reopened Firefox to its homepage. I ultimately had to uninstall Firefox the reinstall it to get out of this problem. I am using Windows 11 (with current updates) and at the time, Firefox was also current in its updates. Running Windows Defender didn't resolve the issue. I finally got the settings for my browser back to where they were before all of this happened except now I have this annoying Customize Homepage button on the bottom right side of the homepage which I can not get rid of. For me, this may be a deal breaker. I am also using DuckDuckGo fo my search engine.

I would like to make the toolbar and bookmark font larger. When I search for answer it keeps telling me to change layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to a larger number. I have done that a couple of times, and after restarting Firefox the font is still the same size. I search the community and didn't see an answer either, so figured I would ask. Thanks Jack

I somehow accidentally removed the Mozilla Firefox Header that has File, Edit, View, Help, etc.. I can not even check for the version of Firefox that I am running. How do I get it back without losing all of my tabs? I could not locate anything regarding this under the Settings area, where it should be located.

how do I get the house tab onto my tool bar? my lap top has it so when I close a window it goes to main Mozilla window. on my desk top there is now house to press when I leave a window it closes the home window.

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?

On MacBook Pro running Tahoe 26.3.1.(a), very often in the Search Box/Bar, a vertical gray oval overlays the last characters I've entered for a search. As it gets in the way, anyone know how I can eliminate this?

Thank you in advance!

I use Firefox as it is one of the last good browsers that isn't chromium based. However, I use it for work and like a nice clean PROFESSIONAL look.

With the introduction of version 149, I see new cartoonish fox icons pop up all over the place. After a little research it appears to be Kit, the firefox mascot.

Let me be clear, I don't hate the mascot, he's cute. But that is not what I want in a browser. I find his appearance and lack of ability to eliminate him infuriating.

I try to run a firefox in a as minimalistic state as possible. Intruducutions of this character, make the browser feel cartoony and childish. Things I despise in an application. I know many people like him, but I would like the option to not have him appear in the application at all.

I was able to successfully remove him from the certificate warning page setting the flag: security.certerrors.felt-privacy-v1 --> FALSE.

However, I can't find other places to remove this nuisance. Take a look at the attached screenshot. Things like this are not welcome without a way to disable it.

Do you have any documentation or instructions I can use to disable this childish nonsense and restore an adult browser again?

I updated Firefox and my search in the middle of the screen disappeared. I have tried about:config and switched it to false and the search bar still doesn't appear. How can i fix this problem

The Reply/Forward bar at the bottom of each email is something I would like to remove from my laptop screen. It consumes over 20% of my screen area. As I have vision issues, this is a waste of viewable space that would be better used showing the contents of each email.

Overall, Firefox displays too many fixed items like toolbars, etc. that reduce the usable working area meaning that I scroll (both side-to-side and up-to-down) so much to see the full contents of an email that I sometimes lose the context.

Is there a setting that will remove this bar & others from my screen? I know the menu selections for these functions and definitely do NOT need a full-size bar that I never use and wastes scarce screen space.

Thanks Tom Friedrich
