Firefox 社群討論區

When opening several tabs they start to shrink down to the browser.tabs.tabMinWidth for which the default is too small for my sensibility. I've tried messing with it to make it more tolerable but what I really would like is to be able to set the tabs to not change size at all. I would like them to stay the default size. Of course let users have smaller tabs if they like, but let us not if we don't want it.

My second issue is when you have many tabs open and you scroll through them with the mouse wheel, it scrolls 6 tabs at a time per mouse wheel input. I would like it to do 1 tab per mouse wheel input just like if I was clicking on the arrows at the top to scroll through tabs. It just makes sense to stay consistent or to have an option in the config that controls tab scrolling.

These are things users used to have control over and were removed. Unless a setting in about:config was renamed to something weird and I'm just missing it, the settings that replaced these options are insufficient.

On a windows touchscreen device, it's impossible to double tap on a word in the text field to select it like regular mobile device, or even other chromium windows browsers.

Please fix this behavior.

English is not my primary language but I will try to explain I want to disable swipe gesture in my firefox which automatically opens the current tab in new windows like whenever I am switching tabs or moving tabs in some order I mistakenly do something with my trackpad and it shift that tab in new windows which is very annoying I have to manually drag that tab and put it all the way to my main firefox window

In the distant past, I used to be able to set Firefox to NOT auto-highlight the URL-bar when I single-click.

At some point Firefox removed this ability. I was wondering in 2025 if there is some workaround to get this function working again.

I would like to have Firefox work this way: -a single click places the cursor in the URL-bar without any highlight (if I want the entire URL-bar highlighted, I will use CRL+L) -a double-click will highlight a specific word or content between two dots (e.g., double-clicking on "mozilla" will highlight just mozilla in support.mozilla.org -it's fine with me if a triple-click highlights the entire URL-bar but I don't require it.

This worked in a previous version. It seems to be a change to the UI

Example: the search entry field at the top of a result set in duckduckgo

see https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=style+background+color&ia=web

That is an example. Not the only example.

In order to select the text one needs to access the context menu (right mouse) and choose select all. A month ago I could just use CTL A, which when you are an average or better typist is faster than using a mouse.

Of course on some fields it works. The main duckduckgo page does allow me to use CTL-A, but on that page it is not useful.

Hi, I posted this here, move as you wish. FF dev 136.0b9, w11p. Not seen issue before. This is using the text box option (tx for having that). Please view the image. When I activate the text box, the "color-size" choice box opens & stays open. This choice box BLOCKS the cursor & kb entry. Clicking outside the box doesn't help, nor hitting escape. I just want that "choice, color-size" box to disappear so I can continue to type on the same text box. Thanks, & tx for a generally great product I've depended on for decades.

I am just writing to tell you that you can go stick your latest "new and improved" feature (note extreme sarcasm) in AI chatbots where the Sun don't shine.

Someone tell me is Mozilla trying to destroy Firefox?

Are they trying to get people to move to Edge, Chrome, Safari or Opera?

If they are they are going the right way about it!

I am getting sick to the back teeth of Mozilla forcing their crap down our throats.

I have lost count the number of times I have had to go into about:config to turn off the latest crap FX has forced down our throats over the years.

None of us asked for AI Chatbots which is one of the worst ideas ever invented.

I already had to delete Microsoft CoPilot from my PC last September now I had to do it with FX.

Everybody do this and it works:

Goto address bar and type in about:config, goto the search bar and type chat and where it says browser.ml.chat.enabled change from true to false and you will be rid of those garbage chatbots.

I have done that for every forced you you feature FX has added over the years like Pockets and Screengrab and all the other garbage they have added over the years.

Now there is no "other" category for topic of question. This concerns display, layout, and functionality.

Having a huge problem with Firefox recently. It looks and behaves like Microsoft type display, security, and function all around has been superimposed on Firefox. Every time I need to do something online my effort is first redirected to trying to fix configuration problem on Firefox.

It is bad enough to have to do battle with windows 11 to config the layout and display so that it is functional instead of going from one screen to another and another when there is an issues that needs configuring, which always then requires a search and fixing it in Microsoft registry (if possible). Now that is happening with the Firefox display, layout, and functionality which requires a search try to find a page where some kind soul has provided a fix for FF via about:config (if possible).

My brower updated to 136.xx in mid-march after I had already disabled auto update. However, have not had problems until recently, so it seems to be something the microsoft system has started doing to compromise the configured functionality of Firefox. It is no impossible to update or change passwords because "microsoft security" has taken over. Did Microsoft buy controlling interest in Firefox, or what.

Today The layout has started being a problem too. Very elementary without features, with huge words and images although I have changed nothing in Firefox. It is as dumbed down and tedious as Windows 10 when it was brand new. I use a desktop and I really don't want it to look and behave with the limits, and appearnace of a large sized mobile phone screen.

No Firefox update since mid March is showing, however something is interferring with the Firefox display, layout, and functionality. I can only guess it is the Windows 11 OS . . .

Is there a way to protect Firefox from Microsoft meddling with the Firefox configuration?

I have not yet tried to stop enhanced security in each website that is a problem (though most of them currently are, not simply individual websites). Perhaps that is the problem . . . at this problem it needs to be universally disabled if that IS the problem. All the additional security being piled on is simply hoops to jump through for users. We all know it does not stop the pros who are intent on hacking as a team sport. I really do not want to have to fool around signing to a Firefox account, and getting a code to be able to complete the signin to be able configure the brower to simply access the internet.

Starting to think FF, including support, is being managed and responded to by A.I. - which always ends up being a programmer problem that creates the limits. Intentional or not is the question.,,,,

Hoping some kind souls have found solutions, or locations to solutions they are willing to share.

Thanks - from redirected and disenchanted in ABQ

Good Morning,

Since the last update of Firefox, the functions usually availablewith the right click no longer work. And the drop down menu, the menu bar buttons are inactive.

How to solve this problem please?

Hello, Win11 Pro 24H2 Firefox 136.0.2 (64-bit)

When I alt tab over to my firefox windows and then press ctrl t to open a new tab it does not work most of the time. I have to sit and hit the keys 10-20 times before it will allow me to open a new tab. Do you have any idea why this is happening? I have tried safe mode with firefox and the issue persists so it is definitely not any extension that I run.

If Mozilla is going to add an annoying left side scroll bar they should also include a facility to disable it. I don't use the right side scroll bar, I certainly don't need another not to use. Besides it interferes with some websites....

Help

I'm wondering if there's a way to MOVE open browser windows in the way that you can move tabs around within a window? I do a lot of research and I work this way in order to go back to a particular subject and continue where I left off. Right now I have 20 windows open with any where from 5 to 12 tabs in some of these windows. When using my pointer I see only the tab that was opened in a particular window when I closed FF. I tried holding the pointer and dragging the open windows in the task bar...but no luck.

I guess I'm asking if there's anyway I could get a quick view of what every tab in every window open actually is, or perhaps use search words to find what I'm looking for?

Thank you any response ~~Bonnie

The last update did something to my search bar. I still have it, but when I click on it, it moves to the upper left corner, prevents me from seeing my tabs, bookmarks etc. How can I disable this annoying change? If someone has the answer, I would greatly appreciate it.

For the Life of me, I cannot Figure-out how to drag-and-drop websites from the Address bar, to the Desktop on the Computer. I tried dragging the Padlock didn't work. I tried dragging the Shield didn't work. Tried even dragging the whole URL. and even made bookmarks with the Link just to try it.

What am I missing? Wracking my brain trying to Figure-out the Conundrum

I used to be able to drag a tab from one window to another. Has this facility been removed? The Move option lets me move the tab to Start or New window, but not an existing window as I would like.

Bonjour, Depuis quelques jours lorsque j'accède à ma messagerie Orange, Firefox modifie systématiquement les @ en . ce qui ne me permet pas de réponde aux messages, de les transférer ou autre opération. Merci de bien vouloir examiner quelles sont les raisons de ces problèmes. Bien cordialement. Claude JAMONAC Mobile : [removed phone# from public]

(btw my browser is Firefox Nightly) Don't get me wrong, I love having vertical tabs. It's less busy than the horizontal tabs and I can look through my tabs more quickly. But, the way it's implemented sucks - It makes the layout of the webpage pop anytime I use it; there is no keyboard button attached to opening and closing the tab (I have to go through my horizontal bar to open my vertical bar); and recently my browser forgets the sidebar settings, meaning I have to re-check the "Hide tabs and sidebar" setting.

Bonus request Can the sidebar just go over the webpage (i.e. like the application menu) instead of squishing it? I'm ok with having some webpage features temporarily covered if it means I don't have to see the screen pop into a new rectangular shape every time I switch tabs.

I used this a lot, but now cannot find it on any toolbar. I've added no software or made any changes in the interim. I was hospitalized from 1/10 to 1/31, and didn't use my computer in that period. I updated Firefox, and still can't find the control.
