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.

Firefox appearance is custom and doesn't match system theme and widget set

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.

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.

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!

How do I enable syntax highlighting when viewing the mark up of a web page, using the "view-source" functionality of the current tab.

It no longer works for me, I need to use this feature so I can find errors in my HTML markup.

Does the "view-source" feature have any optional settings available to the user and how do I find them using the about: option

TIA.

After the most recent Firefox update, my background colors are black, they were white before the update. I have attempted to change the settings for the background, no improvement.

I contacted the place that put my laptop PC together for me, one of their service techs spent close to an hour attempting the sames steps I tried. Did not fix. They said if they learn anything, they'll contact me.

Hello.

My Firefox browser is missing the close button from the top bar. Minimize and Maximize buttons are present.

This is happening on Fedora 42 With Gnome.

I believe I don´t have any custom theme or user css or extension that could cause this.

Also because, it seems to be hapenning not only in Firefox itself, but also in Firefox based browsers, like Tor Browser.

Anyone has any idea what is hapenning?

Thank you.
