Firefox Community Forum

Have never liked the bright orange Firefox icon, it's too dominating on my desktop, I LOVE the older brownish firefox icon, it's just right. So every time you come out with a Firefox update I get out "Resource Hacker" and change the icon to the older one, pictured below. I mentioned this before, asking if you could just give that option, and didn't receive a response. You come out with so many updates, it's a hassle changing the icon every time, but I'm willing to pay the price to escape the distracting bright orange icon, but now suddenly Firefox won't let me alter the icon in the exe. Was wondering if you'd have any suggestions. Have used Firefox exclusively for decades. Thank you very much.

Hi All,

I was using the following CSS to hide the navigation images and show only text labels on the context menu for the Back, Forward, Reload and Bookmark Page menu options...

/* Content Area Context Menu - Navigation Vertical Text */
#context-navigation,
#context-navigation > menuitem{
  flex-direction: column !important;
}

/* hide images */
#context-back image, #context-forward image,
#context-reload image, #context-stop image,
#context-bookmarkpage image{
   display: none !important;
}

/* show text labels */
#context-back:after, #context-forward:after,
#context-reload:after, #context-stop:after,
#context-bookmarkpage:after{
   content: attr(aria-label) !important;
   margin-inline-start: -19px !important; /* this pushes navigation text items to left, aligned with other menu items below */
}

It worked up until a couple of versions ago, but something has changed, and my CSS is now broken, and those navigation icons are back.

My context menu now looks like the attached image below.

Any help with showing only text labels on this menu is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi, Long time Mozilla supporter here. Keep up all the great work for us!! The fonts on my www site are jibberish. Very weird. Note this is only on my Nightly (I keep it updated) browser. Site: https://neilmurphystudio.com/ 1. Image attached showing font display in Nightly regular browser 2. Nightly private browser window displays correctly!!! 3. Regular Firefox (not Nightly) displays correctly. 4. Chrome and other browsers display fonts correctly.

I've tried a few online suggestion. Nothing works so far. Ideas please? I really want to continue using Nightly if possible. My best, Neil Murphy

BTW, I may have more than one Mozilla/Firefox account. How can I check that? Try logging in with the 2 possible emails? This time, I logged in using [email address] I may have an account under [email address]

Thank you!

I'm using Ubuntu 24 with the XFCE desktop. I'm installing the debs straight off packages.mozilla.org (currently 143.0.3).

Firefox's title bar, and window manager buttons do not have the same look and feel as the rest of my windows. And I have no idea where they're coming from.

They do change appearance in response to picking the different styles in Settings > Appearance, but the changes appear to be limited to colors only. The minimize, maximize and close buttons look differently than on all other windows, and they are more spread out than in, and the shade button is nowhere to be found.

I'm attaching two small images, the first one is the standard set of widgets all other windows have, and the second one is Firefox's odd duck. I could not find anything in settings. "Extensions And Themes" shows that "System theme" is enabled. Well, it's coming up a bit short...

Hello people,

I have a problem. At the moment I am running a Firefox version 143 on Linux with different windows. At the top left you can then select which windows you want to use. Only now it has disappeared. You get a home page. I have tried several solutions. Anyway, how do you get the rest back? Thanks.

Like seeekerman who initiated the now-closed discussion at: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1433369, I have used Firefox since its first release. With one exception - open image in new tab - I never use tabs. I want all the usable vertical space I can get.

For some time, Firefox on Windows (Windows 11, FF 143.0.4) has been showing a tab bar under the menu items, and above the bar with the URL etc.

How can I hide this when the FF window has only one tab, which is almost all the time for me?

The solution provided to seeekerman in that discussion, on 2023-12-08, was to create a userChrome.css file with some special incantations. I tried this it did not work.

Hi there,

For some reason, all my text has been showing up as bold on my Firefox web browser. However, the same sites do not appear as bold on the mobile Firefox app or in a private Firefox web browser.

While I thought it applied to many different fonts, it seems to specifically target Roboto. This is especially troublesome because my photography website has all body text as Roboto:

https://www.koby.photography

This was not always the case, but one day everything began appearing bold several weeks ago. Text that is italicized seems to stay in italics and not bold.

I greatly appreciate your help and support. Thank you in advance

Two questions .......... You have my operating system as windows 10, it is windows 11 ??? ......... 2nd question ......... when I bring up Firefox it shows the weather for Chicago, I live in Minneapolis/St. Paul area, following your weather location change instruction, the weather still goes back to Chicago.

Latest update on Ubuntu force reset the sidebar. Reminder for those that do not want, the process to remove it is:

• Go into about:config in the address bar,
• search for sidebar.revamp,
• set it to false.

From this Reddit thread.

Mozilla. Please do not reset the `sidebar.revamp` for those of us that have gone to the trouble of removing it. Thanks.

My firefox on my Mac will not open in full screen mode. It use to open in Full screen, but now no matter what I do when I close it out then try to reopen it, it opens in half screen mode. I set it to full screen mode in the setting but no luck. I tried deleting it and re-downloading it. I tried every tip online but nothing works.

Does anyone know how to get rid of that icon in tabs with the newest version? I have found several mentions of code like below, but they are anywhere from 7 months ago to years ago and don't seem to work with the new update:

/* Disable unmuted icon */ .tab-audio-button { display:none !important; }/* Disable unmuted icon */ or .tab-audio-button { display:none !important; }

or something with: .tab-icon-overlay

thanks!

bold text i cannot see the new tabs since they are way too small now. Yesterday they were fine but now they are made for people with normal vision not half blind people like me. Your help button is totally useless and made for people that are programmers. NOT for normal people like me. I just cant see very well and shouldnt need to use a magnifier to read the tabs and seach bar along with my bookmark bar. I can see they web pages fine but I need to see the things above that. It was working fine yesterday but some idiot who doesnt with good vision who is ignorant about people without good vision

Hi, I cannot get the red squiggle line for spell checking. I get a weak yellow highlight. I have tried all the about:support - changing to string, red etc, closing and restarting. It is not working. Please provide solutions. TX

Does anyone know how to remove the the keyboard shortcuts from Context Menus? For example: Ctrl+Shift+O beside Manage Bookmarks, or Ctrl+Shift+H by Show All History? I like having them gone so the menus can be narrower. This code worked until the latest update to FF 143: .menu-accel-container{display:none!important} thanks!

The weather widget on the homepage sponsored by accuweather is missing a lot of major cities that were available before October 2025. They are available in accuweather, but for some reason my widget defaulted to singapore, and I can't manually select cities like chattogram / dhaka or even new york even though the are available in accuweather.
