Firefox on mobile keeps on resetting the homepage, I customise the homepage and edit some items like the shortcuts and bookmarks etc, but after a couple of hours it resets back to how it was, as seen in the screenshots attached, it even resets the shortcuts. When I'm in another app and click on a link which will open Firefox, it then shows the get started screen.

I am signed in to Firefox, I have un-installed and reinstalled, wiped data, wiped cache, but the problem keeps on happening, it happens multiple times a day.

Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

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.

Sometimes I’m in Firefox and then have to switch to another app for a reference. When I come back to Firefox it opens in a new homepage instead of where I was I was before switching. Is there any way to prevent a new page from popping up when I switch back to Firefox? I see nothing in settings that might relate to the issue.

Hello everyone!

How I can show only the tab icons on vertical tab? Currently I could solve the issue showing enabling vertical tabs, going to Customize Toolbar and just clicking on Done. But every time I use sidebar (showing bookmarks, for example), the vertical tabs display tab titles again, and I need to repeat the process.

There some way to setup this to always show only the icons on vertical tabs? Thanks in advance!

Somehow I recently added a favorites side bar to my page and not sure how to get rid of it now. Now when I open my saved pages it turns it into a 2 step process. Now it opens up a side bar and then I have to click on the star to open my saved pages. Before I just clicked on the folder and it opened them up. I have searched on help but none of it helped. One solution was to got to settings and to hide side bar but I don't have that option. Tried to customized toolbars, nothing seems to work. I use the favorites all the time and to turn it into a 2 step process is a pain.

Hi,

Recently I noticed my context menu has changed, before I would have the option for define (as in dictionary definition) but now I have search Amazon. This is pretty annoying and I'd like to know if it's possible to change it back?

I'm running Android 15 with Firefox 136.0.2 (Build #2016079799).

Thanks in advance for any help!

Is there a way to change the app name on the title menu bar on Macbook. "Firefox Developer Edition" is too long and takes up valuable real estate. I tried going into about:config, pulling up the browser.display.titlebar and editing the name, but doesn't change anything? Thanks for your help!

Set to default system, colours in Thunderbird are based on black, while other apps can set up colours like in Android 13 - material or sth. Not sure the name. I just mean system colours are picked up from wallpaper and I have already my own set of colours that apply to most apps but not Thunderbird. My question is: when TB will support this? Should I post this as feature request? I've posted once, about full threading, but not many replies there

Hello, i am not sure if this is the right place for my Question:

I love to use Thunderbird but in some moments the handling is quite confusing oder buggy. I don't know if i may do think wrong.

I do get Mails from other people with other styling Formats (e.g. Calibri Font from Outlook) and i always use arial. If i copy a text from an mail with other format, put it in my mail with the command "Paste Text without format" it does not always work. E.g. is the visual in my Editor often in Arial but when i send the mail, then i see in my sended mails that the font switched back to calibri. I thought the "Paste Text without format" option will delet the format of the inserted Text and using the default mail format which i defined in my settings?

Its annoing cause i always produce Mails with different styles in it. I am using the latest ESR Version.

I just want to restore the old functionality of being able to edit addresses in the URL bar but every time I click on it now it opens new tab and I hate it so I try to go to about:config only to discover it's been removed and I can no longer adjust anything to my liking.

Why is Mozilla intent on making this such a bad browser when it used to be the best??

Slowly but surely over time more and more things that were great about this browser have been removed and more and more things are being made worse.

I just want to know why Mozilla is intent on ruining the browser?? I have no hope for you ever returning the functionality and I'm looking at other browsers so if anyone's got a recommendation for something that works as well as Mozilla Firefox used to please do let me know.

After a recent update to FireFox, every time I click the puzzle icon to try and Pin an extension to the Toolbar it takes me to `about:addons` instead. In `about:addons` I cannot click or right-click anything and select Pin To Toolbar as I was once able to.

I have downloaded FireFox Developer Edition and the puzzle icon does exactly what it suppoused to do which is to show a DropDown list of installed extensions I can Pin or Un-Pin.

Looks like a bug.

Why is this happening? Please tell me that's not intentional.

Using Firefox 137.0 (64 bit) Win 11 24H2

I have just noticed that the background colour of the sidebar and the customise firefox is a pinkish red. I much prefer them to be white. I cannot see or find a way to change the pinkish red to white nor why this colour has been chosen.

I do have a theme which includes various tones of red. Not sure if this is relevant but if it is, it seems to defeat the concept of having a theme, which I regard as a header that should not affect the body of the page).

Thanks in advance for the help.

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.

1. I want the homepage's shortcuts to be editable and sortable，and it can be synchronized with the account; 2. I want the shortcut icon to be changed from square to round; 3. I hope the shortcut will increase the number of lines, 4 lines is too little.

I am stunned that FF android still doesnt allow for a custom URL as homepage.

When will this be re-implemented, seeing as it was a staple before the rewrite? Or are you simple trying to force your own rubbush homepage feature on people forevermore?
