Running Firefox (currently 151.0.2) on Windows 11. I normally have the Firefox window full height of the screen but not full width horizontally. If the PC goes into screen save, when I bring it out of screen save, the bottom of the Firefox window has moved up by what looks like a couple of dozen pixels. The top of the window has not moved, it's just that the vertical height of the window is less than before screen save cut in. If I let the PC go into screen save again, when it comes out of screen save the window has shrunk by a further vertical amount that looks about the same as the first time. And so on...

No other app that I run on the PC has the same problem with screen save, they all retain their size if screen save cuts in. It's easy enough to get the FF window back to full height by moving the mouse to the top of the window until the mouse pointer changes to a double-headed arrow, and then dragging the top of the title bar down slightly and then back to the top, but it's annoying to have to do this several times a day.

Any suggestions on a fix?

After the last update, 2 pbms have emerged. 1) The weather-at-a-glance feature has stopped working, I checked the on/off toggle and location search is enabled. How can U get it to work again? 2) Also the page size/placeholders have changed and my 2 row shortcuts don't sit properly centered, How can I restore the previous layout?

Hello, I somehow have gotten a slimmer sidebar that is attached to my bookmarks sidebar on the left. I can't get it to disappear without losing my bookmarks at the same time. When I re-open bookmarks it has this sidebar again on the side. Is it possible to get just this slim bar to go away? Thank you

While I can make the website text bigger, I can't make the menu items bigger. I have to lean in, shut one eye, and then I can squint to see the text on my big screen. On the Mac screen, it is too small to read. Enlarging the text on the Mac screen doesn't enlarge the menu items.

Mozilla can help by figuring out a way to allow the menu items to be enlarged, perhaps when the screen itself is enlarged?

See attachment, some sites are not loading correctly at all, which ironically includes the mozilla sign in page. I also noticed it on camelcamelcamel.com. See attachments.

I already tried clearing cookies etc. Unchecking the "allow sites to choose their own fonts" fixes it but obviously I don't really want that disabled. I switched off Chrome recently so I'm already quite disappointed tbh.

I don't know why any browser never seems to allow for this. I hate using the mouse wheel to scroll down webpages and always use the scroll bar on the right side. Problem is most of the time it's way to skinny/narrow to be practically used and the bar you use to scroll it up and down - especially on long pages - is so tiny as to be completely unusable. It may not be an issue for tweens who still have eyes like hawks but for older people, like me, it's a pain in the tuchus. I'd like to be able to increase both the size - width mostly - of the slide rail and increase the overall size of the slide bar you use to control it.

Thanks!

So, I recently updated my copy of Mozilla Firefox, and I noticed something strange. The button for the built-in VPN is disproportionately large to other buttons and clickable elements. I don't see it in the release notes, so I doubt this is an intentional design choice by the UX team, at least I hope it isn't. Any help will be greatly appreciated, as it is really distracting.

If it helps, I'm using Mozilla Firefox 151.0.2 running under GNU/Linux Debian 13 Trixie as a Flatpak.

Mt new OS iPad uses Firefox Win11. There are no extraneous symbols on my browser screen. I cannot move Whenpointer arrow to click right top corner to close full screen mode.During setup no option to add toolbar. Hp

After the latest install of 151.0.2 (aarch64), the VPN logo is massive! Is this just a glitch from the latest update?

I've attached a photo for clarity.

Best,

Ed

Animated icons worked in the previous versions and I like them. It was also a way in which Firefox differentiated itself from the Gobble/Microslop browsers.

Is there a way for me to enable animated icon viewing in the latest browser versions so I can continue to view them? I really hate that animated web page icons now appear as static icons. Hate, hate, hate.

A while ago I made some changes in about:config and also in my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk,css file so as to control my scrollbar and slider -- making them more visible:

/* Log out, and back in for these changed to take effect: */

scrollbar { background-color: #cccccc; } scrollbar slider { min-width: 20px; }

/* dark green: pointer is not in the active window */ scrollbar slider:backdrop { background-color: #00aa00; }

/* green: pointer is in the active window but not on a slider */ scrollbar slider { background-color: #00ff00; }

/* dark red: pointer is hovering over slider but mouse button not pressed */ scrollbar slider:hover { background-color: #aa0000; }

/* red: slider is active */ scrollbar slider:hover:active { background-color: #ff0000; }

/* No effect: */ /* scrollbar-color: blue white; */

... it works half the time. Some pages obey the above settings but other pages continued to show a scrollbar about a mm wide with the slider so faint as to barely be visible. So, in 'about:config' :

widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override 30

... at least made the narrow scrollbar a bit wider. But how to change it's color? Doing this in a file:

~/.mozilla/firefox/5dqk4533.default/chrome/userContent.css:

html,body{

   scrollbar-color: yellow blue !important;
  }
.... doesn't change anything.  Is there some complete guide to controlling the srollbars?  Nice if it could all be handled in one place of course.

the resolution offered to my earlier question about removal of logo did not help and the youtube video also did not help. What am I doing wrong? Please consider me a tech 'idiot'.

Hello,

In Firefox (up to date), the “module” (right-click) that allows for direct translation is great, and I want to thank you for it.

However, do you plan to keep the “Windows 98-style” stamp-like format of the dialog box that opens for much longer? In 2026, on 27-inch screens, it’s honestly very annoying—even if you can zoom in just a tiny bit, it’s a pointless step and not ergonomic at all! It’s the little details like this that make us look elsewhere!

Thank you in advance for your understanding!
