When i downloaded Firefox yesterday i noticed my desktop icons the pictures changed to Firefox picture is there any way i can them back to the way they were before. Barbara Hudson.

Since updating Firefox from a previous version, the browser no longer displays any Unicode emoji characters. Where an emoji would normally be rendered (👁), the browser instead displays empty space. Websites such as twitter and discord, which use their own artwork for emoji, are unaffected. This has negatively affected my browsing experience.

For illustrative purposes, I will add a series of emoji and include a screenshot of how they are displayed: (😀🙁😡💀). Other characters still display correctly: (β❖♞䷲⎈𐘢𓀺இ). My computer otherwise displays emoji correctly. The issue persists after disabling extensions, and has persisted between computer restarts.

I'm running Linux (NixOS) and Firefox version 148. I've tested on Chrome based browsers and they work fine. Tested on Firefox forks and they also don't display correctly. This is new since less than a week ago.

Thanks for any help with this.

Recently a "gear" icon has appeared on the bottom left of my screen while using Mozilla. It relates to moving the tabs. I don't want to do anything with my tabs. How can I get rid of the icon? The icon reduces the horizontal screen space available. I have a small laptop so this small amount of space is important.

Thanks for your help! Cindy

Hello Again that white stripe at the top of the screen is back this PM: I refreshed firefox yesterday and it solved until now: have carried out the dirty dozen: updated FF yes, clear cache yes etc.

Can anyone help me in layman terms: I checked safari and it was OK there. would prefer FF : I use (have done so since its inception) DuckDuckGo as my home page .

Thank you

on other webpages a black bar drops down from the bookmarks bar and blocks the top of the pages, how do i get rid of it? oddly on this page, the bar does not show up

i need the 'home' button. it is not included in the 'customize' items so that doesn't work, as it is not actually there with the other items. please tell me how to get it. thanks. it's ridiculous working without one.

The size of the slider is so tiny, it is extremely difficult to see let alone manipulate. Is there a setting which would allow a user to make them much wider, thereby easier to see and manipulate? Thanks

During the week of March 7-13, 2026, upgrade(s) caused the size of my bookmarks, fonts and tabs to shrink to barely readable (see attachment) in the Firefox browser window on my Windows 11 PC. I've tried every internet base advice article. How do I increase the size of them?

I really enjoy using the recently added sidebar, but I want to put it away temporarily while watching videos. After some digging around, I finally found the simple keybind for expanding it (ctrl-alt-z). With the 'hide tabs and sidebar' option toggled, I'm able to open and close it at will, which is exactly what I wanted.

However, whenever I do this, the sidebar snaps to what I assume is its default size (picture 1). I usually use it at minimum size (picture 2,) such that only the icon of each tab shows. I tried to readjust it, but it seems to not snap to this size anymore unless I disable 'Hide Tabs and Sidebar.'

For now, I'm just going to temporarily toggle that setting on when I want it out of the way, and manually fix things later. But, is there a way I can have the best of both worlds? Can I make the 'default' the sidebar snaps to the minimum size I usually use from Picture 2?

Thank you in advance.
