Somehow I managed to set it so that my bookmarks appeared on the left side. I spent an entire hour trying to restore them to their original position at the top, but I simply couldn’t find any setting for it anywhere. Neither Gemini, nor ChatGPT, nor Google Search gave me a useful answer.

I don’t consider myself a stupid person, but I was genuinely on the verge of tears when I finally slammed my fist on the desk and uninstalled Firefox.

The only company I can think of that could make a user interface even less intuitive is Meta.

I've tried troubleshoot mode and the problem remains, I have no idea what I did and I've spent a good hour of research and found nothing to help with my problem, I'm at the end of my witts. The problem is most visible with google docs, but it goes beyond, like these huge lines in the corner of boxes like the one I'm typing in now (see screenshots).

Switched back to grey top-bar and noticed that when using star to save/edit page/link is grey like rest of the bar, but when saving/editing link with mouse, it's still pastel

Why? I want them both grey.

How to restore the shape of the tabs to tab shape and also make them visually discernible

In the new update, the gradient is mandatory which is okay fine, probably will be themes that revert that, but tabs are floating buttons.

It's not the end of the world, but it's something that is both completely illogical (since they're tabs, they're linked with the window below them — they are TABS, like in a pocket phone book or office file), and visually confusing.

And they're now even more weakly highlighted (there is in fact NO highlighting, only a tiny outline), it's difficult to discern which tab is active. It was already a bit hard on dark themes in recent versions.

I think these are not just knee-jerk reactions, like "make it like it was", although I admit there is a part of it there. But even taking a step back, how does this improve the experience? I can't see which tab is active, the coloring is non-uniform across the wide window so it's even harder, and the tabs do not connect to their window.

Apparently Firefox updated and changed its appearance. The tab bar and other UI elements used to be squared, but now they're round. Also the private browsing default page appearance changed too. How can I change it back to the way it used to be? I'm on version 157 on Windows 11.

Current sidebar default width with open tabs (ie bookmarks etc) is excessive, so I did the normal dragging to narrow it. Problem being that opening new window it goes straight to the default width. Shouldn't it stay at the changed width?

Actually, I believe the aspect of a browser that should not be changed casually is the UI that users interact with while browsing, such as tabs and sidebars. Any changes to configurable UI elements are acceptable, but Firefox should now refrain from altering the UI and instead focus entirely on fixing bugs and optimizing performance. The UI represents the face of a browser, and constantly changing it not only fails to attract new users but also neglects the needs of existing ones.

since i got windows 11, the scroll bars are so narrow that i can barely see them! i've widened them before in the registry (gasp!) but evidently that's not possible anymore. i'm not sure if it's because of the latest firefox update, windows 11, or google. i've seen references to winaero as a program that might help me do this. will it work? is it safe? thanks!
