It's very tricky the clone a FF profile, so I want to avoid that. (If there is a SIMPLE way to clone a FF profile, that would suffice. I have found no such animal.)

I would like to start Firefox by invoking different UserChrome.CSS files.

Is that possible?

I am not intereted in RUNNING both these simultaneously.

yes, I realize I could go through renaming and unrenaming files before starting FF to achieve this. But, I am I'm looking for a method using native FF resources.

Subject: Feedback: Please Show Full URLs by Default and Disable “Show Search Terms in Address Bar” by Default

Hello Mozilla Firefox Team,

I would like to suggest two changes to Firefox’s default address bar behavior that would improve transparency, usability, and user trust.

1. Show Full URL Addresses by Default

  Currently, Firefox hides parts of the URL such as “https://” and sometimes simplifies the displayed address. I believe Firefox should display the complete URL at all times by default, including:
  • Protocol (`https://`)
  • Full subdomains (`www`, `m`, etc.)
  • Complete path when relevant

Displaying the full address helps users:

  • Better verify website authenticity
  • Detect phishing or deceptive domains more easily
  • Understand exactly where they are navigating
  • Maintain consistency with technical and professional workflows


2. Disable “Show Search Terms in the Address Bar on Results Pages” by Default

  The feature that replaces the actual search engine URL with the search query text can be confusing and reduces transparency. Many users expect the address bar to show the real URL of the page they are visiting.

I recommend disabling this feature by default because:

  • It hides useful navigational information
  • It makes copying/searching URLs less predictable
  • It can create ambiguity about the actual site/page being viewed
  • Advanced and privacy-conscious users generally prefer seeing the real URL

Users who prefer the simplified search-term display could still enable it manually in settings.

Firefox has traditionally been a browser focused on user control, openness, and transparency. These changes would align well with those principles.

Thank you for your work on Firefox and for considering this feedback.

I've pretty much exhausted my simple little mind about this problem. At some point around the beginning of the year, Firefox changed the fonts on all my toolbars to some ridiculously miniscule font. I've queried Google's AI several times, tried every solution I've received, all to no avail. Is there a way to do this? I just want to enlarge the font in all the toolbars, not the web site contents, and lock it in. Thanks to whoever can help me achieve this.

What do I need to do to disable, hide, or eliminate the horizontal scroll bar? One is displayed when I open spreadsheets using Google Sheets, which ends up blocking information that is normally seen.

I'm on Windows 11 and have the current Firefox installed.

Hello,

Is it possible to hide the green "New" label next to new features, such as the current "Add Split View" example? There should be an option for the label to be automatically removed once the feature has been used at least once.

Thank you and best regards, Martin

Greetings. Been trying to enlarge the font size in the bars (title, menu, and tab) at top of Firefox. Have read many similiar complaints, but the answers don't relate to the problem. I can't find some of the options some suggest. I'm not blind (yet), but the type is so miniscule, I have difficulty reading it. I've uploaded a photo and a screenshot to hopefully clarify the problem. Check the difference in the bars compared to the page. I don't want 14 pt. type on the bars, but something better than the miniscule type. Thank you for any relevant assistance or advice.
