I recently updated my Firefox to v158 from v156, and now the text colors of some of the UI elements on a new tab (e.g. Firefox wordmark, web shortcuts, Recent Activity header) which were previously white, have been changed to black (or a color close to black).

I use a custom wallpaper for new tabs, which didn't alter these particular colors on v156. Switching the background in the Customize menu shows the white text on some of the default wallpapers and the dark text on others. I have attached example screenshots to show how these elements looked before and after the update. I used the Developer Tools console to do this.

I assume this has to do with the "modernized" Nova UI redesign (which I have disabled) Mozilla is now forcing on its userbase instead of making it optional. Reverting these properties via the Developer Tools console does not make them permanent. I would rather not have to change my current wallpaper if I can help it.

Is there any other way I can make the text white again without changing the background or downgrading? Or if I can make them permanent with the console?

I'd like to find addons for Dropbox. To work as much as possible with moving files to other cloud storeges, and also to save files on Dropbox. I'd really appreciate if anyone can recommend something that works... :-) I'm living in Stockholm-Sweden and it starts gettin to cold to be outdoors. Hope someone comes back to me with something good.

Best Regards to all of you. ✌

Dear Mozilla Team,

As a loyal and long-time user of Firefox and Mozilla products, I am writing to you today with a heartfelt appeal regarding a critical issue facing internet users in Turkey.

While I am glad to see that built-in VPN features have been successfully rolled out in various countries worldwide, it is deeply concerning that this feature is notably unavailable in Turkey. In recent years, Turkey has experienced severe restrictions on freedom of expression, heavy censorship, and increasing limitations on human rights.

In this challenging environment, people—especially the youth and those striving to keep up with global knowledge, science, and civilization—rely heavily on an open and unhindered internet to maintain their connection with the wider world. Unfortunately, authoritarian administrations actively seek to silence these voices and isolate societies.

As a steadfast champion of privacy, security, and an open internet, Mozilla has always stood on the side of users. Turkish users are in dire need of built-in VPN support to bypass these heavy restrictions and reclaim their fundamental digital rights.

I sincerely hope that Mozilla will hear our voices, recognize our urgent need, and take steps to make the built-in VPN available in Turkey as well. Thank you for your dedication to a free and open web for everyone.

Best regards,

Brusky A long-time Firefox user from Turkey

So I'm helping sort out an individual who is very computer illiterate and I'm getting them to use Firefox.. but when it updates, the window that tells you what's new pops up... now this is helpful for most! but for this individual it really confuses them and they tend to call me about it every time... so I'm wondering if their is a way to disable the popup window, to make it less confusing for them without disabling the updates entirely?

I'm suddenly being asked for "primary password." I put in what I thought it was (from many years ago). Did not work. Unsuccessful at trying to change to a new one because Firefox keeps demanding my "primary" password. This started suddenly yesterday, 10/12/26. What is going on and how can I set a new primary password, or bypass that requirement. I never needed to enter any password before, and this is driving me crazy. Please reply email [redacted email from community support forum], or fix the program so it stops asking for a password and reverts to how it was before . I saw and installed the latest update, but it is still a problem. Thank you. Rich Palmer

This is new behaviour. I havent been playing with the settings, so I imagine its come as a side effect of an update...?

Very frustrating since I have come to rely on having 6 permanent tabs which I use every day for new, prices, weather etc...

Ich verwende die neueste Version von Firefox. Ständig klickt es und jeder Schritt wird auf der Festplatte gespeichert. Das sind schnell über 100 Dateien. Was ich eventuell wirklich speichern will, ist dann schwer zu finden. Kann man dieses ständige speichern von jedem Einzelschritt unterbinden und wenn JA - WIE?

Since Firefox updated to 158.0 today, I can no longer drag images or screenshots from my desktop into web pages (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.). It worked fine on 157.0.1. Still broken in Troubleshoot Mode, so it’s not an extension. Pasting and the upload button still work. macOS, Apple Silicon.

When I am using Firefox, which has been my primary web browser for years, I find that in the past month, in addition to opening the link that I want, a separate window with information on Alaska cruises or free shipping webpages, which I am not interested in opens. Is this happening to others, and if so, are steps being made to correct this problem. I am collecting some of the extraneous links that have been popping up,
