The browser color changed. It appears to have changed after a Windows 11 Update. Now the top part is a light lavender color except that on the right side it gradually changes to a slight orange tint. The bar on the left is also a light lavender color. As I recall the borders were a gray color before. Why did the colors change and how can I get the color back that I want?

Thanks

After the last Firefox update, I can no longer open download files (PDFs) from websites in Mac Default Viewer. I have tried the other settings such as open with Adobe, Ask, etc., but they continue to only open in the browser. For work, I download hundreds of documents from a county site, so having them open in my default viewer when I click the link was very useful for a productive work flow. I have tried to open files with my viewer from other sites, but it fails with those too. My tech team tried to help but seems to be a Firefox issue. Settings - Downloads - Files and Applications - PDF - Use Preview (or anything else) is not working. Firefox 157.01, Apple M2 Pro, Tahoe 26.6.2.

Context: In the customize sidebar section, if the "Vertical tabs" checkbox is checked, the vertical tabs can be switched between showing names and favicons, or just favicons. If, additionally, "Hide tabs and sidebar" is checked, then vertical tabs instead can be switched between showing names and favicons, or being completely hidden. (These settings are in the photo I uploaded)

The recent update seemed to add a feature I had been really wanting from vertical tabs. I could switch between all three states: favicons and names, just favicons, or completely hidden. I could do this by dragging the vertical tab pane smaller or bigger. A few days later, though, it stopped working, but I didn't change any settings (as far as I remember).

Is there any way to get the three-state vertical tabs back? They were really nice!

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Hello,

You may notice Firefox Settings looks a little different. As part of the refreshed Firefox design, the Settings menu has been reorganized to make it easier to find and understand your options, including how you manage your data.

Your bookmarks, passwords, settings, and browsing data remain unchanged, and no action is needed on your part.

If you don’t see the updated Settings, go to Settings → About Firefox to check that you’re using the latest version of Firefox.

i  hate  the fact that   apps and companies just  make changes and do not ask  their customers   i like it   when  it first began .  i do realo ize you need to  change but   ask first tas ke a poll to see who wants and who does not

As recently as yesterday I was able to hit the CTRL+H keys to bring up my browsing history. That no longer works - now it looks like I need to open the menu then type in clear history which will up the clear history. CTRL+H was much easier - why add extra steps??????

I have not been able to log into: http://www.kerncountylibrary.org after having able to do so for the last decade. When I attempt to open the site to log in, Firefox asks me to choose a file to open the site. This has been happening for the last several days.

For the last several weeks, one of my computers when it updated to the new settings menu (version 156ish?), it has lost the ability to maintain some of the synced profile settings. For example, I have a couple websites that I list in the exceptions to not have Firefox clear the cookies, and I additionally have the clear cookies and site data check box enabled so that every other website I visit clears upon exiting. This is the setting combination I have utilized for years to keep the cookies from only 2 websites and clear out everything else.

On one of my computers, I'm able to add the exception, and as long as I do not close Firefox, the website exception settings stick. However, as soon as I exit Firefox, and open it back up, the settings clear themselves again, and I have to manually enter the exceptions again. This is very frustrating because one of the sites that I keep the cookies on the exception list has multiple different logins saved so that I don't have to manually re-login to every time I open Firefox.

I have attempted a refresh, and that did not fix the problem. I have fully uninstalled Firefox, manually deleted the %APPDATA%\Mozilla\ folder contents, reinstalled foxfire and this too does not fix the problem.

The weirdest part of this whole issue is my laptop, does not have this problem and the exceptions are sticking so I know that this setting combo works. Additionally, I have tried unchecking the clear cookies and site data box and this too is not allowing the exceptions to stick.

I have also tried re-syncing my account to pull the settings from my laptop and this too is not working.

This experience is on Firefox 157.0.1 (64-bit), Windows 11 Pro 26H2

Thanks for your time and please advise as to how to fix.

I do not use all of Fire Fox or any other program. I like some of this and some of that, but like a tough business, you try and stop me from doing this. I HATE it when Fire Fox updates, it changes every thing I have set up for ME, not you. I have stopped all updates until I can take a look at them , but some times I just don't want what you are updating. I don't have my phone synced to my computer, so I don't want you trying to do it. I do not like, especially with Windows 11, all the jumps, changes to try and save my pass words unless I have a key. I don't want a key, just save my pass words. I know Fire Fox is owned and operated by Mozilla, but how can I separate you so I don't have you messing with the way I want things. I use Google, Fire Fox, DUCK DUCK, but I do not like Edge and Bing, but I like some of most of them. I know you have a community of testers but that is not the average user. Some people rely on all the things you, Google, Windows, and Microsoft offer, but I do not think the majority of the users like this. Have you seen a lot of the comments about KEY, They weren't happy with it. So why force it on those of us who don't want it. GIve me my computer back and offer changes but don't force them on us

I have the latest Mozilla browser. I have Yahoo Mail and each time I open an email from Kohls.com, the images appear for a split second and then disappear and are replaced by a white box with a little symbol in the upper left corner. This only happens to about half of the images in the email. If I open the email in a separate tab, the email appears normal. This only occurs in Firefox, not in Edge nor Chrome. I have used aI to check all of my security settings and nothing is wrong with them, it is just something of how Firefox renders the Kohls.com emails. They are the only emails that act this way. Please help!

Hello,

Ever since the last Firefox update (on October 30th for me), the text on my inactive tabs has been painfully blurry (picture attached). I previously restored Firefox to default and seemed to have pinpointed a certain extension as the culprit, as well as a file within the profile named addonStartup.json.lz4. Deleting both seemed to have done the trick. However, my issue is now back, I can't find the previous file anywhere in the profile, deleting all the files in the profile that were created on the day when the problem reoccured doesn't fix it either. So I'm kind of at a loss. I have tried to set "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_for_families" to "Arial,Consolas,Courier New,Microsoft Sans Serif,Segoe UI,Tahoma,Trebuchet MS,Verdana" and "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_max_size" to 15 in about:config ; as this is an old fix I've seen for an older similar problem, to no avail.

Thanks in advance for your help!
