I have a Firefox icon on my Windows11 desktop, Start, and one on the taskbar. If I click one either the Firefox icon on the desktop or Start I will get another icon on the task bar and I can do this over and over on my personal desktop getting many Firefox icons.

I just purchased a new Dell Windows11 desktop and have installed Firefox. I set it up just like my personal desktop and have icons on the desktop, Start, and taskbar but every time I click the Firefox desktop or Start icon I don't get a separate icon in the taskbar but they pile up behind the original Firefox on the taskbar. If the cursor hovers over the Firefox icon then I can see the multiple Firefox homepages that I generated.

I have searched for an answer to this problem but have been unsuccessful. I would really appreciate some thoughts on this issue. Firefox has been my one and only browser for many years and I love it 99% of the time, just not this one time. :-) Thank you in advance. Chuck Hall

Hello people,

I have a problem. At the moment I am running a Firefox version 143 on Linux with different windows. At the top left you can then select which windows you want to use. Only now it has disappeared. You get a home page. I have tried several solutions. Anyway, how do you get the rest back? Thanks.

Hiya, The latest firefox update for iOS 26 on mobile added a new feature, or at least a new prompt for an existing feature, with moving the address bar to either the top or the bottom, however this does not appear to apply to the sideways view option, and the address bar is only at the top regardless of which setting is used. Is this a bug?

Also it appears that the auto-hide behaviour takes more scrolling before it engages. Is there a setting to adjust this? If not I would like to request a setting to adjust this on mobile be added as I would prefer it be almost instant in both hide and unhide if possible. Many thanks!

For some unknown reason, you guys decided to remove the “home” button from the Firefox browser app for IOS. I have been using a home button on my browsers for over 30 years now and by removing it you have rendered the Firefox browser unusable to me. Why try to fix something that wasn’t broken? I shouldn’t have to open a new tab every single time I want to go to my home page! Who thought this was a good idea? Just so you know, I will most likely be looking for an alternative browser to replace Firefox if this is going to be a permanent thing.

Someone had me do an add-on. I have no idea what the add-on did. Nor do I know how to use the add-on or if it installed correctly. No one gave instruction on how to do what I am asking . So I am stuck with the need to make my scroll bar wider. I need detailed instructions for an idiot on the computer.

how can i colorize the vertical tabs icon when collapsed so i dont acciudentally close the window assuming no tabs in that window. (vertical tabs new position*bold text)

In the past month any browsing window I use suddenly goes to full screen and I have to manually reset it by resizing it. Why does this auto-full sizing occur? I can not find a setting that allows this. I just want any screen window I have to stay the way I set it.

I have an older iPhone and I run Firefox. You must have updated it because the homepage “house” icon in the bottom bar has disappeared. Settings still has the preferred homepage URL but there is no icon. This is unacceptable!!

My iOS app just updated with a new ui for the mobile settings menu. It'll take me some time to get used to this, but I'm not opposed to it. However, it also changed the order of the icons in the bottom toolbar so that tabs view is the fifth icon rather than the fourth, and the menu icon has been switched vice-versa. This has caused my muscle memory of using the app to repeatedly tap the wrong icon, which has turned my usage of the app incredibly sloggish. If Mozilla wants to change the default ordering of these icons, I don't care that much, but surely it seems prudent to give the end user an option to change the order back to the previously established pattern? Having the menu icon in the bottom-right-most location on screen feels the most natural to me.

this update is NOT my favorite too many things are missing or are revamped into something i do not like. for instance. i HATE the way the sidebar is compressed to the side, then takes up valuable space with NONSENSE that i do not want. the toolbar - HOLY CRAPOLA!! i hate the new toolbar. i want the old tool bar and side bar back. there is SOOOO MUCH about the new toolbar that i hate that i simply can not begin to express where to start.

after so many years using firefox and recommending it to my customers - ill have to look for another browser to use and recommend to others.. i hate this!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to drop in here and give an update to my original post detailing how to hide the tabs and address bar when in fullscreen mode, using the View/Toolbars/Bookmarks Toolbar/Never Show command. With this css in place and the preferences set, toggling the bookmarks toolbar in fullscreen mode will toggle everything at the top of the FF window (but won't do that unless fullscreen is active).

This code changed recently (like, today) because the "collapsed" attribute from the #PersonalToolbar item no longer toggles between "true" and "false" when the user hides/shows the toolbar — instead, the "collapsed" attribute disappears entirely when the toolbar is showing, and reappears to be assigned the value "" (yes, empty) when the toolbar is hidden.

--- Here's the CSS. It goes into a text file called "userChrome.css".

root[sizemode="fullscreen"] #navigator-toolbox:has(#PersonalToolbar[collapsed=""]) {

 visibility: collapse;

}

--- On the Mac, here's the location. The CSS file then goes into a "chrome" folder in the "Profiles" folder located within your Mac user account's "Library" folder (not the Profiles folder within the Library folder on the root of the system drive, but the one in your computer account Home folder). You'll probably need to create the chrome folder. Just put the CSS above into a text file, name that file "userChrome.css" and drop it in the location shown below. Quit Firefox first, of course.

/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/chrome/

--- You'll also need to set the about:config options in Firefox to allow legacy user profile customizations. Go to about:config in the browser, and search for "toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets" and set this preference to "true".

--- The code only updated slightly today. See my original "question" here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1448596#

The new UI for Firefox mobile is now very similar to that of Safari’s. While some find it easier to use, I personally do not enjoy it, as the UI was one of the bigger reasons as to why I made the switch to Firefox. A simple tab in the “Appearance” settings would be more than enough.
