Dear Support:

Much earlier, I changed the screen from a Light Background and Dark Text in my Mozilla Browser to a Dark Background with Light Text. (Mostly I'm concerned with using my emailer.)

Today, I'd prefer the original configuration for various reasons. Unfortunately, I've completely forgotten the commands to bring this about. To date, no amount of searching brings success.

Can you help me?

Sincerely,

Edward Edward F Crangle

Recent update [139] changed the size of text of bookmarks in folders in the bookmark toolbar

Updated recently from (I believe) 138.04 to 139.0.1, and immediately noticed that the size of font (and icons) had changed in the folders I have in the bookmark toolbar, that is they are much smaller and thus also less space between. Why this, and is it possible to change the size, without changing something else?

It's possible that many don't have folders in the toolbar and thus don't notice, but I have 2-3 apart from bookmarks.

I remember a change many versions ago that increased the space between entries in the bookmark menu, and also in the bookmark toolbar folders. That was too much and I found a setting [in config] that could be changed to decrease the space back then. (I haven't looked for that solution now, probably have some doc somewhere, and won't bother searching since this is different. Same with this case; I did some quick initial search but found next to nothing and older. BTW, this is one of the downsides of changes like these and similar; the day you have too move to another OS version, i.e. reinstall everything you also have to keep documentation of all these little changes, apart from all the other things you'll have to export or save.)

All of a sudden, my extensions icons, site icons and some images in every page are very very dark or pitch black. I haven't change anything in themes other than changing the theme of the browser after installing it.

In the attached images, you can see how the Mozilla site icon is rendered by Firefox Stable, Firefox Nightly in Recovery Mode without my account being signed in and Google Chrome. The other screenshot is the extension toolbar with extension icons being rendered all black instead of their true color.

The other day I accidentally pressed a keystroke that changed a Firefox setting, and now it thinks I'm on a mobile device/displays sites in mobile view where possible by default. This has persisted despite restarts of the browser and the computer and has been happening since Sunday (Australian time). I've tried opening the Responsive Design dev tool and I've sent screenshots to a techsavvy friend (I'm totally blind and use a screen-reader, so couldn't tell this was happening until I tried to use a site that had a radically different layout in mobile view), and aside from not seeing an exit button or a switch to change device mode, he couldn't tell what was going on.

I'm stuck and need help! I would like to unmobile my Firefox!

For years, I've been looking for a way to disable the space bar from acting as a page down button, including trying out scripts to solve it, but please let users disable that shortcut in the about:config page.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly

It is difficult for me, since I see that ability to change what the backspace does is available, but there's no option for the space bar. The space bar is something that I often accidentally hit, and it would be of immense relief to me to no longer have that issue of it paging down what I reading. This is my request, and there are others who also feel similarly.

Version: Firefox 129 Ubuntu/Debian I'm using the Proton theme in Firefox and would like to revert the tabs to their previous, non-floating style. I've tried using the [profile]/chrome/userChrome.css method and enabling toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets, but this hasn't worked. Is there another way to achieve this? Thanks for your help in advance!

I recently updated to ESR 115 and then to ESR 128.2 and I noticed that there's no Ublock Origins icon. I checked my settings and was shown to a window of installed and suggested add-ons and there I found an entry for Ublock Origins with a blue on button marked, nevertheless, I can't find where it is and I can no longer find any window showing what it's blocking.

I've read about this in earlier threads, one from 2019, one from 2021.

I would like the Ublock Origins to be visible and also to be showing what it's doing. It used to show a number of hits that would go up with each website that was open, as it was blocking things.

I'm using a win64 windows 10 22H2

The attached picture is of what I'm NOT gettting. It's from a website describing how ublock origins normally looks.

Thank you.

Hello Firefox friends o/

Anyone knows how do I make https://yandex.com my default search engine? (in the top bar of the browser). I have attached a screenshot of my settings page. Please have a look at the suspicious lack of an "Add" button 🤔. Despite my efforts, the drop-down menu will not show the available options in the screenshot, you will have to take my word for it, the only available options in that menu are: Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, eBay and Wikipedia (en).

P.S. The settings page in Firefox must change really often, as I seen so many people suggesting many outdated methods online.
