Firefox Community Forum

I'm using a Windows 11 laptop with a 14" laptop with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. I'm looking for suggestions and tips about the best layout to maximise the display of content in Firefox with the minimum amount of scrolling.

Thank you.

Hello, after ff updated, gray line appeared. It does not disappear after changing theme. I am using laptop and a monitor. On laptop browser window goes fully to the top, but when i drag ff to the secondary monitor, gray line appears. I will attach photos.

I was experiencing that one bug that locks the sidebar from opening on hover (even with the option enabled) and I was somehow able to change the size of the sidebar while trying to get it to start working again (IDK why I didn't just close and reopen my browser because I know that fixes that) and now my open on hover sidebar is the biggest it can go and it is genuinely unusable. I can't change the size of it while it's on the open on hover option, but changing it back to the fixed/static sidebar and then editing the size does not carry over when I re-enable the open on hover option. Objectively, this is really dumb and kind of hilarious. I know I am dumb for this.

Mozilla sidebar has been replaced by "Choose an AI chatbot to use in the Firefox sidebar." How do I undo this and return to Mozilla standard Firefox sidebar. Not at all what I want to do. Help

Since the last update, the firefox taskbar icon is showing a strange shopping card icon? How can I remove it? I am not shopping with Firefox, I am using it as my web browser.

Hi,

I'm having an annoying glitch since the recent Firefox update. Now, when I am looking at a webpage the tabs at the top of the screen disappear and the webpage automatically maximizes and, to see your tabs you have to hover at the top of the screen to see them again. I do NOT want that! I want to see my tabs at all times! How do I change the settings so that I can do that? I sincerely hope that this "improvement" can be deactivated!

Each time I open Firefox a black symbol appears in the upper right of the Firefox Icon. This began several days ago. What does the symbol mean? See attached image. Is there a way that I can remove this?

Yesterday I switched on my PC, opened Firefox and the home page was black. See the attached screenshot. This is not caused by some accidental switching on of the dark mode. Dark mode is clearly off. Neither can I adjust settings to make the Google home page revert to its customary light grey shade.

This isn't a big deal, I know. And it has happened before and in a short period gone away by itself. Maybe it is to do with a glitch in the latest Firefox version. But it has an unpleasant appearance and discourages surfing.

My Chrome Google home page doesn't have this issue.

Can anyone advise on how to fix this unwanted black screen problem ?

DAM SERVER ERROR! Every thing I wrote here is now GONE! Is it possible to make sidebar & drop down list LETTERS LARGER? The're tiny, too small to see without he magnifyer. Shrinking the page has no effect on the sidebar or the drop downs which stay tiny I cannot see tiny letters, I have to use the magnifier to see them & that is very awkward.

Yet again Mozilla have decided that yellow folder icons are not needed and have amended the code so user chrome files no longer work. Is there a new way to return the folder icons to yellow or are we stuck with the black icons with a white frame?

I recently installed Win 11 on a new Acer Aspire (with MSI MAG244F monitor) but the issue seems to be present on my Acer Nitro 5 with built-in monitor as well.

I don't think it's an Acer issue but I am only running Win 11 on the two Acer machines. If I open a web page with colored graphics or pictures and then drop down a menu of the browser (bookmarks, etc.) the colors of the graphics bleed through. It's annoying and somewhat obstructive. It does not occur if a window from a different app is opened on top of the browser window no matter how bright the colors are.

I attached a few edited screenshots to show the issue. The edits are only to cover personal information etc.

The issue seems to be color saturation and does not occur on my other Win 10 machines or in other browsers. Not even the same version Firefox on the Win 10 machines.

Is there a way to increase the opacity of the drop downs or lower the color saturation in the Firefox browser?

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.

I was customizing my background by loading a picture. It's adult in nature. It should be my computer in my in my private home. When something amazing started happening. If I load ANY image with a naked woman on it After a few minutes Fire fox auto removes it. I have done this 30 times. I use ANY fire fox picture it's fine stays there forever. Load ANY picture with a naked woman on it and poof 2 minutes later it's gone. So please can you explain to me why whats claimed to be the most private and secure browser around is censoring me in my own home about what backgrounds I can have? I find this highly disturbing. And I am quite serious I have had them removed at least 30 times. I'm 56 y/o If I want a naked woman on my background it should be my business not fire foxes. Also no chrome is not doing it. neither is windows. It's Firefox removing them. Any explanation would be nice.
