Firefox Community Forum

So, I recently updated my copy of Mozilla Firefox, and I noticed something strange. The button for the built-in VPN is disproportionately large to other buttons and clickable elements. I don't see it in the release notes, so I doubt this is an intentional design choice by the UX team, at least I hope it isn't. Any help will be greatly appreciated, as it is really distracting.

If it helps, I'm using Mozilla Firefox 151.0.2 running under GNU/Linux Debian 13 Trixie as a Flatpak.

A while ago I made some changes in about:config and also in my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk,css file so as to control my scrollbar and slider -- making them more visible:

/* Log out, and back in for these changed to take effect: */

scrollbar { background-color: #cccccc; } scrollbar slider { min-width: 20px; }

/* dark green: pointer is not in the active window */ scrollbar slider:backdrop { background-color: #00aa00; }

/* green: pointer is in the active window but not on a slider */ scrollbar slider { background-color: #00ff00; }

/* dark red: pointer is hovering over slider but mouse button not pressed */ scrollbar slider:hover { background-color: #aa0000; }

/* red: slider is active */ scrollbar slider:hover:active { background-color: #ff0000; }

/* No effect: */ /* scrollbar-color: blue white; */

... it works half the time. Some pages obey the above settings but other pages continued to show a scrollbar about a mm wide with the slider so faint as to barely be visible. So, in 'about:config' :

widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override 30

... at least made the narrow scrollbar a bit wider. But how to change it's color? Doing this in a file:

~/.mozilla/firefox/5dqk4533.default/chrome/userContent.css:

html,body{

   scrollbar-color: yellow blue !important;
  }
.... doesn't change anything.  Is there some complete guide to controlling the srollbars?  Nice if it could all be handled in one place of course.

as is the text I read takes only 1/3 of the available width of the screen. In reading mode I can widen that, but many pages lose a lot in reading mode. How can I widen the text in normal mode?

Hi, after updating to FF ver. 151 (Linux Mint 22.3) the container icon on my address-bar disappeared. I can still use containers by right clicking in the bookmarks drop down menu.

I am running 150.0.1 on Debian with Cinnamon. I set the fonts to use for Chinese to a custom fonts, where I left Latin fonts to use untouched, I found I must set Latin to use my custom Chinese fonts in order to display Chinese webpage properly, where the English fonts will get out of place, extra spacing in Apostrophe for example, "It's" will become "It 's", this is particular trouble when viewing on Youtube. But I set to use the same custom fonts on Chrome both English and Chinese displayed perfectly.

On Linux Mint 22 on my desktop, the buttons in the RH top corner are tiny. I have measured the minimise line and it is under 2mm long.

I have tried various searches to see if these controls could be made larger, but most questions suggest changing the theme. I don't want to do that, and I'm sceptical that it would make any difference anyway.

Has anyone got any suggestions how they could be made bigger?

I'm using the MATE desktop.

Thank you

I've recently noticed that the minimize button on the top right of the screen is missing, all I have is the close app button and a drop down. I'm on Bazzite, I have the sidebar disabled, I've already done a refresh. The only thing I really haven't done is a full uninstall then reinstall, but I wanted to see if there was a setting I missed anywhere. I've attached a screenshot of the drop down and close app button, but no minimize.

Hi!

How do I get the sidebar (with vertical tabs) to be expanded whenever I open a new window of firefox? Despite always opening it, whenever I open a new firefox window, it is collapsed.

I'm using version 149.0 (64-bit) from the Fedora repositories.

Thanks!

On Debian Linux, how can I make all text in Firefox BOLD - t'ab names, texts on Toolbars, text on web pages, everything?

I really enjoy using the recently added sidebar, but I want to put it away temporarily while watching videos. After some digging around, I finally found the simple keybind for expanding it (ctrl-alt-z). With the 'hide tabs and sidebar' option toggled, I'm able to open and close it at will, which is exactly what I wanted.

However, whenever I do this, the sidebar snaps to what I assume is its default size (picture 1). I usually use it at minimum size (picture 2,) such that only the icon of each tab shows. I tried to readjust it, but it seems to not snap to this size anymore unless I disable 'Hide Tabs and Sidebar.'

For now, I'm just going to temporarily toggle that setting on when I want it out of the way, and manually fix things later. But, is there a way I can have the best of both worlds? Can I make the 'default' the sidebar snaps to the minimum size I usually use from Picture 2?

Thank you in advance.

Hallo, ich benutze immer den aktuellen Firefox unter Debian Trixie. Ich habe jetzt das Problem das sich das Fenster meines Firefox nach einiger Zeit der Untätigkeit von selbst verkleinert. Sprich, wenn ich einen Button drücken möchte dann muss ich mit dem Mauszeiger eine Zeile höher drücken als der Button liegt. Meine Treiber sind alle aktuell und ich habe früher dieses Problem noch nie gehabt. Wäre euch für eine Hilfe dankbar. mfg Schorsch
