Firefox Community Forum

Greetings,

I'm using & viewing the most updated Firefox browser on a Windows 10 Pro (64 bit), desktop, 24" monitor screen.

With the current updates, the list of bookmarks in my Bookmarks Bar has become very small, skinny & overly spaced, hampering readability.

Though I have learned how to enlarge the bookmarks font size, using the "about:config" & updating the 'layout.css.devPixelsPerPx' attribute, the font still remains very skinny & overly spaced.

Is there an attribute that I can change to alter the Font Style (for example to "Semi-bold") & Spacing of the bookmarks list? If so, please be kind enough to describe the process & I'll give it a go.

If a Firefox Development Team member happens to be reading this post, I'd like to put in a request to add some Bookmarks Bar "FONT EDITING" tools accessible via the browser SETTINGS dialogue, to accommodate readability on ALL the various OS & computer form factors that have proliferated these days.

Thank you, Bruce

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.

After tinkering with about:config (shouldn't have...) the background of every page that does not specify a body background color turns the color of my theme background color.

Using the firefox color pipette says its white, but it clearly isn't.

The theme i have is dark, making any page that expects the background to be white unreadable (without DevTools -> Body -> background-color: white)

I haven't been able to find the config that fixes it.

Firefox on Windows 11 has suddenly and without my apparent action started automatically hiding the tab bar and the address bar to give all the vertical space to the current tab. I do not like this (I have big monitors and I want those bars always visible)

How do I turn this one and why did it turn on in the first place?

Thank you for having the Q&A facility.

With the latest update, no matter if I've got it set to light or dark, the sidebar text and background are almost the same color. It's unreadable. There is no way to change just the sidebar, and it ignores the light/dark setting.

So my question is Firefox is on my Cent OS 10 machine and it only shows the close button on the upper right corner, I would like to know two things, 1. How to add the Minimize, Fullscreen buttons to just the close button on the upper right corner. 2. How to get my menu bar back - the home button and all of the other goodies that normally show on the left of the browser just above the Forward, back and refresh buttons?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Please change the switch in your code back to normal. Its just a tiny switch! normal is=task bar context menu by right clicking on the task bar WITHOUT "title bar". Is this so hard? And why is such important thing not fixed in 7 months?

How in the heck do you increase the size of the UI font? I have a 1440P monitor and the TINY size of the UI font makes it nearly impossible to read the text on the menu buttons, I have lean forward and squint to read it because they are so damn small. I can't find anything in the settings to make the UI text larger. It is as if some dummy hard coded the UI font size so it's impossible for the average person to find out how to change it. It makes no sense whatsoever.

And please don't tell me to increase the zoom in the Windows settings, because that screws up EVERYTHING else...

Another thing that is driving me crazy is how do you set it so that scrolling with the mouse wheel is smooth and not jerky? When i scroll with the mouse wheel, instead of smoothly moving the page up or down, it JERKS a couple of lines at a time. This is the only browser that it does that in. I have smooth scrolling ON in the mouse settings on my computer but for some reason, only Firefox is doing this.

I upgraded with a new cpu and windows 11. When I open firefox, I noticed the "Home" tab missing from the upper lefthand tabbar next to the refresh. Is there a setting that I am missing or is it part of a update that eliminated that feature ?

Hi there! The New Tab page looks great with white text, but Firefox 140.0.4 thinks my wallpaper is white, so text should be dark. I can change the body class to "activity-stream darkWallpaper" using the inspector and it works fine, but how make this change permanently?

My toolbar is visible when I click on the 'Open a new tab' plus sign at the top. But if I go to a site, either from a search or from bookmarks, the toolbar disappears.

I just (yesterday) had to delete profile, delete bookmarks, delete Firefox, install Firefox, in order to get it where it would save bookmarks again. The toolbar, prior to that, did NOT disappear when I went to a new site.

Please help.

When I Hover over the Firefox Icon in my Taskbar, it shows a Thumbnail of the Windows I have open. If I have a bunch of windows it dispenses with the Thumbnails in favor of a Text based Description. I'd prefer it did that all the Time. I don't care much for the Thumbnails. Is there a Setting someplace that I can make Text the Default view ?
