My home page moved down from its previous position in the middle of the screen. I have to scroll down to bring it up. I have gone through all settings [including Zoom; remove "Use recommended performance settings" and " Use hardware acceleration when available" and nothing changes it back. No other application on my computer is misaligned. I have no idea why it moved or how to get it back to normal.

Latest Firefox update made the widget space above my shortcuts way to large. The large space pushed my shortcuts off the bottom of the screen. I turned OFF the weather widget but the space remained the same. Before the update the weather widget was smaller, now it is big with a lot of empty space inside. I tried the config but it is already set to small. Is there anyway to make the area across the top of the new tab page smaller and even make the weather widget smaller than the "small" config? The widget has one line of text and the sun which takes up about 1/4 of the bottom widget and 3/4 of the top is blank wasted space. Firefox 151.0.1 (64-bit)

Firefox ignores css style for hamburger menu after updating from 150.0.3 to 151

I have custom userChrome file that made my history and hamburger menu (application menu / settings) text and distances smaller since Firefox introduced this ugly feature, trying to be cool in windows 10 times. Nowadays even windows 11 brings back compact mode but firefox still uses huge spacing. I just fixed issue with custom CSS and forgot about it. Unfortunately, after updating to FF 151, my CSS is ignored and I am forced to new ugly context menu. What is weird, I still have good small pacing when right-clicking pages, UI elements and when I enter bookmarks. Only places that ignore my CSS are hamburger menu for settings and list under history view. I do not really understand this code, I just copied it from someone else. Can someone help me fix this issue?

Now that this update is in place, my 80% screen size now has a scroll bar on the right.

My second row of shortcuts is partially cut off. 67% screen size shows all shortcuts, but they are tiny.

Why is there so much empty space appearing on the home page (above "Firefox" branding)? I found no option to minimize this space.

I have a Dell laptop (Inspiron 16), with the scale of the screen set at 125%.

TIA!

Firefox updated to 151.0 last yesterday and now the background of the search selection box has changed color to white from its earlier setting. I have tried a bunch of things but cannot find the CSS needed to restore it to what it was (it was overridden with an image). The image below shows the new, white, version, and what I am trying to do is restore it so that it is overridden with the same background image as the rest of the header. What is the rule needed to override the background of this new box (the box with the colorful "G" and downward caret)?

Сегодня обновил Mozilla FireFox до версии 146.0 (64-разрядный). После обновления в панели "закладки" (cntrl+B) появился ненужный мне цвет выделения только что открытой мною вкладки (смотри скриншот). Как поменять данный цвет на менее контрастный ? У меня включена "темная тема", цвет выделения - ядовито-голубой. Хочу изменить его на другой более мягкий цвет. Как это я могу сделать?

Today I updated Mozilla Firefox to version 146.0 (64-bit). After the update, the highlight color of the tab I just opened appeared in the bookmarks bar (Cntrl+B) in an unwanted way (see screenshot). How can I change this color to a less contrasting one? I have the "dark theme" enabled, and the highlight color is a bright blue. I want to change it to a softer color. How can I do this?

See attachment, some sites are not loading correctly at all, which ironically includes the mozilla sign in page. I also noticed it on camelcamelcamel.com. See attachments.

I already tried clearing cookies etc. Unchecking the "allow sites to choose their own fonts" fixes it but obviously I don't really want that disabled. I switched off Chrome recently so I'm already quite disappointed tbh.

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?

Hi - Recently when I was on either my desktop or laptop I saw a notification that the sidebar would be going away. I can't seem to find any information on that now though. Will the sidebar still be going away soon? I for one would like to say that I enjoy that feature and would like to see it stay an option on desktops/laptops. If it does go away, how do we access bookmarks and synced tabs? Is there anything I need to do ahead of it possibly going away? Thanks in advance for your help!

In Windows 11, how do I add the Firefox icon to the extreme top left of its webpages?

When I switch tabs to Firefox, typically using Alt+Tab, I am often unsure at first which program I am in. I have searched Firefox settings, and googled extensively, and there seems to be no way to add the icon back. I believe that it was once there, but I am unsure of this.

Almost every other program places its icon on the top left of its pages. Surely it is possible to do the same in Firefox, which just has an empty space there.

(But I am wrong on the last point, because Edge, which I rarely use, also has no icon there. Surely Firefox does not want to share any problem that Edge has!)
