I am on Linux Mint 21.2, and I just updated Firefox (141.0). Now, the bookmarks bar, toolbar, and the tabs (everything above the displayed page), as well as the menu, bookmarks menu, and sidebar, are in light mode even though I have dark mode set (They were dark before the update). I tried playing with the Dark Mode settings to no avail. My system is set to dark mode in general. Are others experiencing this? Is there some sort of fix?

A heart has recently been included in the Firefox icon in my taskbar. What's the reason for it and what do I have to do so that the Firefox icon no longer has it? I've run a number of antimalware programs and they came up with nothing.

MY FF recently updated to version 1380.1 (64bits) and my Sidebar Bookmarks are gone. That is I have to manually put them back every time I now start FF. I want them to always show when I start FF. When I need extra screen space, I would click the X and they'd disappear for that session. And when I was done, I'd click on View - Bookmarks they'd be reinstalled. And when I shut FF down and returned later, they'd be right there where I need them.

My question is, how do I get back to that setup?

I turned on my PC after a long time, and it seems something about firefox has changed in the way I don't like. The logo to the extreme left of the address bar which shows "This time search with" options on left-click is annoying to the eye. Picture attached below. Is there anyway you can remove/disable that logo with about://config or anything else.

Using latest version of Firefox on linux.

hi in a new win 10 instal most text incl Fire Fox text is made up of letters [font] that are made of thin and thick lines [in the same letter]

also i cant get spell check to work here dsespite turning it on

its very distracting, would be very gratefull for any suggestones if any one can 

help thanks

Hi everyone!

Since last update (136?) when I open a page with a video in a new tab, the width of this tab is very small! Almost half my current tab.

(I don't have another example but does this have anything to do with any "media" on a page?)

I have the width set to 152 for years...

When I play a video, the current tab is reduced. Pause= normal tab. Play= small tab. Pause= normal tab...

"browser.tabs.tabMinWidth should have been adhered to."

I just completely reinstalled Firefox: still the same.

What can I do, please?

I have some code in my .css file that had restored colored folders, a la pre version 89 AFAIR, for the folders on the bookmarks toolbar and in the bookmarks menus off the toolbar. It was working in V138.

I just upgraded to V139 and it's no longer working. I have the plain black/white wireframes back for the toolbar folders on the bookmarks menus.

The code I was using is below. I didn't write it and I confess that I only marginally understand it.

Can someone help me to regaining the colored folders? The white ones are a serious visual impairment for my brain. I need them to be more distinct from the menus themselves.

I’m using Firefox on an Android tablet in PC mode, paired with a keyboard and mouse. To enhance the desktop experience, I’ve switched the tab view from grid to list. However, I can’t enable full-screen mode for the entire app, something I can do on Firefox Desktop. On YouTube, videos automatically switch to full screen when I enter full-screen mode, but this feature seems missing for the browser itself. Maybe the full-screen option isn’t available in the settings.

Since the last update, the firefox taskbar icon is showing a strange shopping card icon? How can I remove it? I am not shopping with Firefox, I am using it as my web browser.

I want to turn off a recently added search bar icon in the new version of the newest version of firefox ? I only use google and don't have other search functions enabled but i dont like seeing this icon that suddenly appeared without warning ?

It is too distracting.

Hello,

Suddenly some UI elements became color-inverted or almost completely black, such as the tab icons in the tab bar, the website icons on the New Tab page and some icons in the settings menu. Also, some websites appear to have this issue, but the Samsung website is the only one I found so far with this issue.

On the same day it happened I switched to an OLED HDR-capable monitor, so I assumed it would be related to HDR, but I played around with some settings and I'm not sure anymore.

What I tried: - hardware acceleration on and off - HDR completely on and off - default light theme and dark theme, no customs themes installed - all extensions disabled (I have no extensions that would influence graphics or colors anyways) - latest update already installed - nothing else changed in the Nvidia control panel as far as I remember

None of the above helped. Any advice on this is appreciated. Attaching some pictures with the issue. Using Windows 11.

Thank you!

I have a Firefox icon on my Windows11 desktop, Start, and one on the taskbar. If I click one either the Firefox icon on the desktop or Start I will get another icon on the task bar and I can do this over and over on my personal desktop getting many Firefox icons.

I just purchased a new Dell Windows11 desktop and have installed Firefox. I set it up just like my personal desktop and have icons on the desktop, Start, and taskbar but every time I click the Firefox desktop or Start icon I don't get a separate icon in the taskbar but they pile up behind the original Firefox on the taskbar. If the cursor hovers over the Firefox icon then I can see the multiple Firefox homepages that I generated.

I have searched for an answer to this problem but have been unsuccessful. I would really appreciate some thoughts on this issue. Firefox has been my one and only browser for many years and I love it 99% of the time, just not this one time. :-) Thank you in advance. Chuck Hall

Good day everyone,

I have been breaking my head over this for about a week. After the last update that was installed, now my tab width is smaller than the minimum width I have set them to. However, this only happens with active tabs from pages that have an embedded video. At first I thought this was just a thing with YouTube, but it seems it also happens with other video sites. I guess it may be related to whenever the playback button displays in the tab title and it detects there is video content.

I would like to know how to fix this behavior so that my tabs are no longer shortened beyond the minimum width setting.

Thank you in advance.

Why does Firefox mobile for iOS look different on my iPhone 13 pro max vs my wife's iPhone 12 pro max? both UTD on iOS version. I suspect that I must be missing something in settings, but cannot figure this out. See images below.

On my iPhone 13 Pro Max, the Firefox app has the nice home button, tab button, and hamburger menu button on the bottom (address bar on top both cases). On my wife's iPhone 12 Pro Max, it has the "+" for new tab, the 3 dots instead of hamburger menu, and then the tab button. I much prefer the layout on my phone, as does my wife, but I cannot figure out how to change her layout to match mine.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I left my computer for a while, and when I returned and took it off screensaver I started going through my emails when I noticed that the bookmarks on the toolbar are missing. The toolbar is present, and I toggled between only show on new tab, never show and always show a few times, but they're still missing. I even tried bookmarking two webpages, but they were not added to the toolbar. As stated, I have the bookmark toolbar to always show. Firefox just updated yesterday, 4/8/25 to 130.1.0, and I'm pretty sure that they were there this morning, but I can't be totally sure. I noticed my computer had updates available, so knowing updating it would not have any effect on Firefox, I restarted the computer while updating so I could also restart Firefox with a bit of a delay. I had also restarted it twice before without any luck. The only thing I did besides updating Firefox was enabled the sidebar, which I then turned off and still did not have any bookmarks in the toolbar. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, but I may not be able to view and any responses or make the stated changes until Friday.

Hello,

I am using a website with text input fields in a dialog box. When I open the dialog box (show_modal()), I see the entire dialog box (Figure 1). When I type in one of the text fields, it automatically enlarges (Figure 2). How can I prevent this?

Greetings..
