Hi! Why I lost the customize button on my Firefox's home page? This happened after the last Firefox upgrade.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Bookmarks, History, Downloads are all gone missing. Can't restore them, tried failed. Been using Firefox since Netscape Navigator, Don't want to change browsers. Can bookmarks, history, downloads come back or do I have to change browsers because this small problem. thanks [edited email from public]

I suspect Firefox Relay is not allowing me to sign into a site on the internet. Following instructions I put the Relay Dashboard in my Firefox Settings or so I thought. How do I locate it?

After the last Firefox update, my bookmarks list only highlights the thumbnail image. The descriptive text which was previously in white colored text is no longer colored but faded and not readable. How do I resolve this problem? Zak

What's up with this? Two fake Trust Wallet add-ins were disabled within the last couple of days after one stole my money and I reported it, and another similar one. They had been pinned to my toolbar and they were subsequently taken off from there with the message that they had violated Mozilla's policies. Now I see that again there are two of them. How can this be prevented? The most obvious sign that these are fake is when one goes to create a new wallet the add-in directs the user to import instead, i.e. it wants to steal private information like recovery phrase.

Hi. I'm asking this question because I'm not quite sure how to describe this issue through a Google search. Recently, I've noticed that whenever I click and drag anything, an icon will pop up while I'm doing so. Attached is an example, I click-and-dragged on the "Learn More" hyperlink off to the right.

Is there any way to disable the icon that pops up? It bothers me and seems to slow things down, which isn't ideal. I'm not the most well-versed when it comes to Firefox's more advanced settings (the options in about:config and whatnot) so I wouldn't know where to start.

I have recently re-installed Firefox version 140.0.2 (64 bit) following a crash and have been reconfiguring it to my requirements. I have the bookmarks drop down menu on the left of my screen but would really like it on the right hand side. I have searched the various on line articles but can only find a solution going back to 2019 which suggests that there is a small arrow next to the word Bookmarks at the top of the menu, but there is no such arrow on my version, only a X, which closes the drop down. I would have attached a screenshot, but the facility doesn't work on the drop down menu. :-)

Am I missing something here please or is this option no longer available?

Regards and TIA

Hi everyone,

I'm on 140.0.2 / Win10

My current about:config:

browser.urlbar.trimHttps false browser.urlbar.trimURLs true browser.urlbar.untrimOnUserInteraction.featureGate false

I noticed the new https trimming, but when I double-click (e.g. to select a word in the URL) to copy or change a part, the https pops back, shifting where my cursor is relative to where it was, which is annoying for having to reposition the cursor.

Disabling `browser.urlbar.trimURLs` should make sense to revert to no-trimming, but it didn't work.

`browser.urlbar.untrimOnUserInteraction.featureGate` being false already shouldn't have caused the issue I described.

Many thanks in advance!

The release notes for Firefox version 140.0.1 indicate the extension button can can now be removed from the toolbar.the noes say:

"Firefox Extensions: Customize your toolbar with the option to remove the extensions shortcut, giving you more control over your browser. When the button is hidden, you can access the extensions panel again at any time from the Firefox menu by clicking the Extensions menu item."

I still cannot drag the button down and out of sight by customising the toolbar.

Suggestions welcome.

FF ver 140. just loaded and now all my sidebar bookmark fonts are black on black. How do I change the sidebar bookmark font back to white? When I disabled all Themes the white color came back, but enabling any theme and they the font turns black again.

Hello,

I'm a bit out of ideas how I can get Firefox to display the correct characters. For reference: https://learnjapanese.moe/font/

Windows: I only have german and japanese locale installed, i even changed in intl.cpl the language to japanese. I have installed the japanese language pack / fonts and it's showing correctly in any windows editor.

Firefox: Second language set to japanese, disabled all addons, tried it on private mode to no success.

Any ideas how I get the characters to display?

Edit: I made it work by changing in about:config the font.cjk_pref_fallback_order-string to have ja as first.

Periodically I open Friefox and all my cookies have been deleted. I go into settings to find "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" has been checked (NOT BY ME!) again. This is very annoying as I then have to log into all my websites and go through 2FA. This is annoying to the point that I am posting on this site for help. Next step is find a new browser that doesn't screw up my work-flow randomly for no reason.

I'm having some trouble with automatic translations on firefox. I don't know if It's exclusive of firefox, but some websites, mostly wikis, open a "translate" field that automatically creates a new website, wich causes the images and some other stuff on the website to break. I tried disabling the translation on about:config off, as show in some other questions, but it did not work. This is being really annoying because it keeps breaking websites unless i get to the original link.
