Some extensions, like Bitwarden or Notes, seem to have added their own shortcut icons between the settings cog and the other functions below the tabs, with seemingly no way to remove them? I already have them in my regular toolbar / extension overflow, which has much more space available, so I don't see the point of why there's duplicate ones in the sidebar taking away tab space?

MY FF recently updated to version 1380.1 (64bits) and my Sidebar Bookmarks are gone. That is I have to manually put them back every time I now start FF. I want them to always show when I start FF. When I need extra screen space, I would click the X and they'd disappear for that session. And when I was done, I'd click on View - Bookmarks they'd be reinstalled. And when I shut FF down and returned later, they'd be right there where I need them.

My question is, how do I get back to that setup?

Since update to Firefox version 138.0.1, my last viewed side bar is never automatically displayed upon REOPENING Firefox. I must always > View > Re-select the desired sidebar choice >

How can I get this side bar to re-display automatically upon opening Firefox as it used to in previous versions?

I have Firefox ver. 138.0.1. Since this update I can't find a way to open my bookmarks on the sidebar and keep it there. I can open it by going to View-Sidebar-Bookmarks. But I have to do this every time I sign into my Firefox. I like working with my bookmarks open on the left side all the time. I am sincerely hoping the update did not do away with that feature.

No matter what setting I choose , ie dark or light, all the websites are showing dark. This is a real problem for my eyesight. I cant see words etc. I have tried various changes and have reset dark/light but still dark. can anyone help with this please

After a Firefox update, my bookmarks menu, which was on the left side of the screen vanished. I have not been able to restore it. When I click the bookmark box (at the top of the page) I get three choices showing up on the upper left side of the screen. 1) Summarize , brainstorm, etc. 2) Tabs from other devices. and 3) History. So how do I get bookmarks???

Hello, when many tabs are open, the mute button takes up almost the entire tab. When I go to a tab, I get to the mute button... https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2025-03-01-03-07-42-491a45.png Is it possible to remove this function on the tab, but leave the sound icon itself? So that when I click on the sound icon, the tab is switched to instead of mute?

I can't change colour of visited links with version 138.0.1 Why has this changed and how can I fix it. If I change the visited links colour, all the website colours are overridden. There used to be a choice.

Opening a new private window (via any method, keyboard shortcut or the button in the burger menu) will show the History sidebar for a very short while, then it disappears. This is very annoying as when I type the cursor is no longer automatically focused in the address bar.

I had to do a system restore to a couple of days ago. When it finished. The text in my tabs and toolbar became tiny, about 8pt instead of the 12pt that it used to be. What setting will make the text larger again like my menu bar?

Hello, so for the past several months now any time i set a custom theme to my firefox browser, it'll work *until* i close the browser and re-open it, the theme goes back to dark theme. its finally starting to get on my nerves, and i thought with an update or two it would fix itself, but nope.

i have tried changing the default from automatic to dark and back again, and nothing helps. i tried looking all over google for any help relating to this issue, but the only thing i can find relating to this issue old archived reddit post where the users seem to have resolved it back then, however none of the suggestions in the thread worked for me (probably because we're now several updates past that one in the thread). please help! its very annoying to have to go in and manually change the theme every singe time i open the browser, if the feature is there it should at the least work properly!

thank you! :)

I have Firefox on two computer (plus my phone), both of them are running Linux Mint. On pc#1 Firefox behaves ok; on pc#2 instead it's abnormally zoomed in and it is very annoying to use. I am logged in with my Mozilla account on both devices, they have the same settings and Firefox is the only application displaying this behavior. If it matters, pc#1 has a bigger screen. I've attached a screenshot of the same page visualized on both devices as to show the difference.

(I am posting this from pc#1)

Hi.

I want to ask the setting of theme.

If I don't set the theme, the color of window in private mode is dark (and I know I can change this setting on config.) The other hands, when I set Theme, the color for browser of private mode will be also changed the color of theme and it is same as default one.

I want to recognize which browser I'm using by the color of the window. I can do that if I don't set a theme. Is there any way to apply the theme only default browser or to apply different theme to private mode browser?

I like to have the Sidebar open all the time. Now with version 138, when I re-open Firefox the Sidebar is always closed.

How do I keep the Sidebar open in Firefox 138?

Any ideas?

Thanks.
