Firefox Community Forum

The top row in Firefox browser doesn't have any tabs, it looks as pictured in screenshot (Chrome below for comparison). I only see the icon and text for a page, but that isn't enough to know clickable area, and it makes it unintuitive.

I tried several browser themes but none of them changes this. There doesn't seem to be a setting for hardware acceleration anymore that used to solve it for some users in the past based on a search on topic.

Maybe this really is how it's meant to look but the design just went backwards from what we want to see; tabs are no longer tabs but something vague. Can never please everyone i suppose, but i want old back.

How do I recover the normal additional toolbar in firefox that shows options for maps, images, videos etc. This toolbar is no longer shown on firefox - perhaps it's because firefox has recently been updated and no longer gives that facility?

The new update is reminiscent of the early days - too artsy, colorful and distracting. I appreciate FF and want to continue using it. I'd prefer not to have to use code to do this, I don't understand it or what might go wrong. thank you!

Is it possible to add the File Edit History menu to Firefox for Mac? For those of us who have cut our computer teeth on DOS/Winders, not having the standard File Edit Bookmarks... menu makes it hard to navigate your Firefox for Mac application. Even if many of the File Edit commands are not there because Mac does not use anything remotely like the windows commands it would be nice to know exactly where the more standard commands are located on either OS. Commands like New Tab, New Window, Open File, Close Tab, Close Window, Save Page As, Print, Offline, Exit, Cut, Copy, Paste, Recently Closed Tabs\Windows, Bookmarks and Help would be REALLY nice to have their screen location standardized across all Operating Systems that you support with a firefox browser.

BTW... I still have FirefoxSetup-0.9.exe, FirefoxSetup-0.9.1.exe, FirefoxSetup-0.9.3.exe, FirefoxSetup 1.0.exe for windows... Need a copy?  :)

1. I didn't know where to put this post. 2. Firefix is as clueless as every other software manufacturer out there. 3. I do not want the response. I am posting because Firefox development should know about these and firefox has been relatively good over the years - until now, never had a complaint. 4. These are identified problems. 2x each since firefox pushed out this build nobody asked for.

In one case, the popup is necessary and not there. In the second the POPUP text is completely unnecessary. Does the USER REALLY NEED TO BE TOLD TO FILL IN THE "HOW CAN WE HELP BOX" IS THAT NECESSARY, IS MAKING IT NEVER GO AWAY NECESSARY?

I am grateful for everything Firefox has done over the years... Thank you

The whole point of the container tab colors is to be NOTICEABLE and instantly recognizable so you can find what you're looking for EASILY and assign new tasks to the correct grouping. I'd ask whose dumb idea it was to remove the colors from the tabs, but everything is apparently slop coded now. The icons are also now stupid, too washed out to be helpful, and I want the WHOLE TAB to be the correct color, not that stupid tiny line across the top. Do the slop-jockeys actually use this software? Because it appears either they don't, or have no idea how people work in real life. These are useless.

Hello, thanks for allowing me to ask a question. I would like to know how to change the Primary Accent color in Mozilla Nightly to a mid grey color. Even when I try new themes, the funky Pink/Purple highlight is present. Where is it getting this and how can it be modified. I've read the help pages, and have even had info sent, and that's rather confusing because I've changed the userContent.css and userChrome.css files as the pages I've ready advises. Again it's confusing and it doesn't seem to work. I've even set the toolbar legacy to true in the config:about settings. Nothing seems to work and it's frustrating.

After Firefox updated to 157.0.1 OS I no longer see where I can reload a webpage. The former icon to refresh or reload a page is no longer there.

How do I refresh or reload the page now?

I recently updated my Firefox to v158 from v156, and now the text colors of some of the UI elements on a new tab (e.g. Firefox wordmark, web shortcuts, Recent Activity header) which were previously white, have been changed to black (or a color close to black).

I use a custom wallpaper for new tabs, which didn't alter these particular colors on v156. Switching the background in the Customize menu shows the white text on some of the default wallpapers and the dark text on others. I have attached example screenshots to show how these elements looked before and after the update. I used the Developer Tools console to do this.

I assume this has to do with the "modernized" Nova UI redesign (which I have disabled) Mozilla is now forcing on its userbase instead of making it optional. Reverting these properties via the Developer Tools console does not make them permanent. I would rather not have to change my current wallpaper if I can help it.

Is there any other way I can make the text white again without changing the background or downgrading? Or if I can make them permanent with the console?

With the new FF 157.0.1 (64-bit) it seems the download icon in the toolbar is now purple. I want this back to the old colour but have no idea how to do this. Why was this changed, because the colour hurts my eyes.

BTW .. using FF on Windows 11 (25H2)

Thanks, Matthijs

Ok this latest UI appearance change is absolute dog feces. I hate it so much! It's so ugly! How do I change it back? I did not consent for my eyeballs to be assaulted like this. Did I mention it sucks? How do I change it back? 157.0.0.11
