I'm on the ESR and just updated from 112.0.2 to 113.0.1. I had text rather than icons displayed on my toolbar. Now the text has vanished and I can't find a way to get text OR icons back. I have a disabled extension Classic Theme Restorer installed, but I thought it was already disabled long ago. In the Customize Toolbar dialog, the unused icons are displayed with text labels. When I drag one to the toolbar, it turns invisible like all the rest.

After update to Firefox 113, the width size of search-engine-textbox on Overflow Menu is no full size anymore.

Before update to Firefox 113 (version 112 or older), the width size is still normal: full size; like search-engine-textbox on Toolbar.

Please review and restore the width setting, same as version 112 and earlier.

Thanks and best regards!

P.S.: I posted this on " Mozilla Connect > Discussions" at this link: The width size of search-engine-textbox on Overflow Menu is no full size anymore, Firefox 113

Accidentally clicked on the Add-ons widget on the right side of the menu bar and now "add-ons manager" web page opens every time I open Firefox.

How do I stop that page from loading?

I have been using code (stored in the Chrome folder of my profile) to keep the 'open application menu' pancake button on the left end of the toolbar. After I updated to version 113.0.1 today, I see that button shifted back to the right end of the bar. I do NOT want it there. Can you fix it so the code will work again? Is there alternate code or some other means to accomplish the same end?

The code I've been using is as follows:

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#PanelUI-button,
#customization-panel-container,
#customization-panelWrapper .panel-arrow { -moz-box-ordinal-group: 0 !important;}

/* Panel UI */
#PanelUI-button {background-position: 100% 0, calc(100% - 1px) 0, calc(100% - 2px) 0 !important;}
#PanelUI-popup {margin-right:-350px!important;}
#PanelUI-popup .panel-arrow {margin-right:340px!important;}

/* #PanelUI-quit  #PanelUI-customize  #PanelUI-help */
#PanelUI-footer #PanelUI-footer-inner {direction:rtl !important;}

When I type about.config in the address bar, I just see search results for it, instead of going to the config page. I tried enabling a separate search bar in settings, and also turned off all suggestions, but that did not help. I still see the spyglass search icon on the address bar. How do I get past it?

hello i have around 30+ themes and i want to delete all of themes (because i want to keep the favorite ones ) but if i delete them one by one takes time , is there any option to delete them all at once i haven't found anything on internet

What it says on the tin, booted up my computer, started Firefox, had it apparently update and then the tabs were suddenly like this. It's functional and just looks weird, I guess, but it really bothers me. Any way to fix it? Thanks in advance!

With the dark mode of Firefox on Windows 10 desktop it is IMPOSSIBLE to see which of the several tabs is the one that is open.

I work with tabs not windows as I always need to see all the pages/websites open that I work with in one view, and so it is a hassle and nuisance NOT to be able to tell which tab is active, having to click through each one or guess.

It's one of those small yet significantly impacting on the user experience things which one would have thought by now Firefox developers would fix.

The ACTIVE tab needs to be in different colour may be on a yellow background with dark font so that people can EASILY find it with several tabs open on the screen.

Any thoughts on this? is there perhaps an option to enable it - which I am oblivious to?

thanks

We no longer have access to our account settings = on account of a cat we presume must have tread on keyboard at some crucial moment, when no one was looking.

The IRC settings line is now so long that it forced the width of the column to a max, leaving no room in the window to access the right hand column, where most of the configuration and prefs can be seen/manipulated. Right column is of zero width now and its border cannot be reached with the mouse and pulled back left.

I suppose one could throw away all settings files but it might be painful and time consuming - trying to reconfig this person's entire settings.

Is there any config file where IRC settings can be text edited back to a normal number of characters?

Failing that - Is there are particular preference file which can be junked, maintaining most other settings on the program?

Or other sage advice appreciated

Thanks

I'm using Thunderbird 102.11.0 64bit EN-GB version. I used Thunderbird for many years and have just returned to it. When I use the inbuilt add-ons manager it goes to the en-gb extensions site ( not unexpectedly, but I'm slightly surprised there is more than one site.) If I specify my version of Thunderbird it supplies outdated and/or unsuitable extensions which will not work with my version of Thunderbird. After a Usenet discussion I tried getting them from the en-us version of the site and got at least one extension that worked OK. However, subsequently the same has happened from the en-us address, despite specifying the correct version of Thunderbird, extensions fail from there too. For example the "Open Google Calendar" extension sort of works but has random text overwriting parts of the the calendar. Others are similar. My questions therefore are:-

1) Are the en-us and en-gb sites really separate sites, or am I wasting my time specifying which site I use? 2) Is the extension system really as comprehensively broken as it seems to be? 3) Is anyone doing anything about it? I don't know where to contact the devs direct. 4) I not, what on earth is the problem?

Failing all else can anyone point me to any more help on the topic. I can't find anything on this support site. I haven't been to Bugzilla yet - past experience dictates that it takes forever to get answers there (if at all) and I'm hoping to cut out some of the wait the wait. I'm getting very old now and may not have that long :-)

Regards,

Bob

For the love of God, can someone explain who thought it was a good idea to remove the option to sort bookmarks menus by name? Please do not suggest users to open the All bookmarks and using the View > Sort option because it's not permanent, such useless option only applies temporarily while that window is open.

What version must I downgrade to in order to recover the bookmarks sort by name? Because of course the option won't be recovered. Kindly explain who, and why did you decide it was very useful for the end user to delete this option.

This again!

This was resolved about a year ago; now the problem is back, as of updating to Firefox 113.0.1 this evening.

Initially post-update the close tab button was in a weird, random place on the tab bar. I have adjusted the margins to put the button back where it's supposed to be!

I changed :

.tabbrowser-tab .tab-close-button {
  opacity: 0;
  margin-left: -4.5px !important;
  margin-right: 2px !important;
}

to:

.tabbrowser-tab .tab-close-button {
  opacity: 0;
  margin-left: -4.5px !important;
  margin-right: 35px !important;
}

to move the button back onto the left. That may seem like a drastic change but that's the lowest value I could find which produced the result I want.

However, it's not quite the result I want! As of updating to 113.0.1, the tab title itself now disappears altogether on hover.

I have tried to correct this in CSS using the .tab-text and .tab-label attributes, but without any luck so far.

Can anybody help me with this, before I'm forced to downgrade to Firefox 112?

Better yet... how about we just make this an option in Settings, as it should be?!

Years ago the find bar was located at the top of a page. The somewhere along the line it was moved to the bottom.

Some good guys realized that's a problem for some of us and came up with code to put into a .css file. That was in 2017/18

The code has worked until last week ~2023/05/15.

Now the find bar is firmly planted at the bottom of the page...very awkward place for me. Makes edge look like something to consider as their find bar is still at the top.

I've check the code and no problems...I say it appears firefox is no long allowing this customization code to be used.

I've checked the knowledge base and the same articles from 2017/18 are still there...and the solution no longer work.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I hate traversing from the top to the bottom to do my work. The find bar at the top really made it convient and easier to do my job.

thanks for any help.

I recently upgraded my system and, after installing and using Firefox, I notice the Find (Ctrl + F) bar is now at the bottom of the window. Whereas, it was previously at the top (which is more like every other application I use).

After some head scratching and web searches, I remembered I had to fix this issue previously (after a Firefox upgrade some time back). The method to fix it then could be found here: [there a way to put the Find Bar at top] That link is of course to the same question asked 4 years back.

I have once again followed the procedure there explained per: • Access my Firefox profile folder. In my case:

  C:\Users\<Me>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\5ym42ewi.default

• Create folder therein called ‘chrome’ • In that folder create a file called ‘userChrome.css’ • In that file add text:

  .browserContainer > findbar {
    -moz-box-ordinal-group: 0;
  }

However, after doing that (and restarting Firefox), the Find bar stubbornly remains glued to the bottom of the window.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this issue?

As a separate note to the developers: This issue is long-standing, that a web search reveals is still relevant to many users. Any chance of considering making it a standard option?

These are both POP3 client accounts. I recently installed an old saved version 59.x.x [Correction, was Ver 52.8.0] of Thunderbird on new Laptop and started Thunderbird, choosing to later create Email account data. Stayed in long enough to set few things including Auto Update to OFF and then exited (didn't want any surprises right now). I then (in file manager) copied the all the contents of my Postbox 3.x Profile (the root folder files and Mail Folder, did not include minidumps) to the new created Thunderbird Profile (overwriting everything with same name). Then restarted Thunderbird and Popup came up saying migration updating or something like that, but it came up with all my old Postbox email folders and email and all my account settings. My old Postbox profile had the [ ] Check for new messages at startup UNCHECKED, which that all came up in Thunderbird just fine. Because I wanted to check Thunderbird out a bit before I started taking stuff off the server with it. I then checked the TB version and it was then 60.9.1 (32bit). So it did update which was surprising since I had updates set to OFF both in Thunderbird and the old Postbox Profile accounts. Ok so whatever with that, the thing I wish I could change now is there any way to hide the Subject Column in the Message list. I only need Correspondents and Date, the Subject is in the message at left anyhow. But for some reason Subject is not listed in the column selection drop down. Also all the messages in the inbox that I replied to have arrows pointing Left and cannot seem to make them go away. Just wondering what's all that about. Thanks for any input.

Hi,

i have set my home page to blank. Recently i noticed, that when i start firefox and visit a site, my arrow history (i don't know what it's actually called; the linear browsing history you navigate using those arrows) has the blank page as first entry. I don't want that first entry. How can i get rid of it? (And why is it called "chrome://browser/content/blanktab.html"?) When i open a site in a new tab, i don't have that blank page entry in the arrow history. So it seems like it must be possible to get rid of it.

Same problem with private browsing. The first page is always "about:privatebrowsing".

I'm using Firefox version 108.0 on Linux Mint.

It's only a small annoyance, but i really appreciate being less annoyed.

Thanks

What's up with line wrap in Thunderbird, this is really perplexing. In both TBird versions 60.9.1 on my laptop and a higher version on wife's laptop could not get any functional line wrap in Write (compose new message). Even after changing settings it still just types out one loooooong line.

--In TBird config editor devtools.scratchpad.wrap.Text default boolean false mail.wrap_long_lines default boolean true mailnews.wraplength default integer 72 plain_text.wrap_long_lines modified boolean true <-changed to true (same in prefs.js) view_source.wrap_long_lines default boolean false

I have six email accounts. Three of them do not allow me to delete emails. When I checked with the support team of my computer(linux), I was told that the problem with the three accounts was probably the POP settings and that I would do better with IMAP settings. I tried to reconfigure the settings, but only resulted in being able to receive emails, but not being able to send emails. This is a disaster for me. When I changed the settings I could only change from the input POP to IMAP. The outgoing settings were not available. There used to be an SMTP window with all the outgoing settings for all the email accounts I have. Where is this window? I can't find it anywhere. I wish the designers would think about the changes they make and their effect on non-tech people.

Any help will be gratefully received.
