When multitasking I would like to decrease the horizontal window size to any size I want. Right now with vertical tabs enabled it is locked to more than half my screen width for some reason.

Is there anything I can do to unlock this window size limit? It makes vertical tabs just a worse option even though it's great otherwise.

How do I change the height dimension of my toolbars?

My toolbars are too wide in height, taking up 1/3 - 1/2 of my screen, and the pop-ups narrow my screen in height to where I can only read one or two lines of text at a time. (I am sure that using larger fonts is part of the problem. But my old eyes prefer a font size of 14 and above.)

With normal mice, when you scroll you typically scoll in steps which you feel as the mouse wheel feedback.

The issue here is with high resolution scroll wheels, whether that is a knob or a "frictionless" mouse wheel like on higher end logitech mice.

What happens: You slowly rotate the scroll wheel while nothing is happens in firefox, then you get to a certain point and firefox scolls one step, then you continue to slowly rotate the wheel, and eventually firefox scrolls another step.

What should happen: It continuously scolls as you rotate the wheel. This works in chromium browsers and other chromium based apps like discord, steam, etc, it also works in kde settings app, dolphin, okular, etc. But not firefox. It even works in terminal.

Both firefox and thunderbird are like this.

Is there a way to get this working or is it simply not supported in firefox? If so then feature request: get high res scoll wheels to work

I have a fairly large number of tabs I keep open in the latest desktop version of Firefox on Windows 10. I regularly scroll along those tabs and lose my place, although the current page remains open. How do I get the tab bar to scroll back to show the active tab for the current page?

I know I can open a tab drop down list and search for it, but I do have a lot of tabs listed and it takes a bit of searching to find the tab I'm looking for. I'm hoping that there's a key press solution to this. I have already tried the ctrl+tab, but that takes me to the page prior to the page I currently have open.

I have been setting up Passkeys to log in to the websites which allow them. But I have noticed on Paypal, they do not allow me to use passkey when using firefox, it only seems to allow chrome

Is there an issue with firefox which deems it not suitable for passkeys?

I noticed that sopmeone asked this question this time last year and it was advised that firefox is now able to create and store passkeys Paypal still dont seem to allow it?

There is a similar (but not identical) topic on Mozilla Connect , and I posted there. But I did not get a response. So I am re-posting on this new topic on Mozilla Support. I have a similar problem to what was discussed on Connect. I am using Firefox 133.0.3 on Windows 10 Professional. After Firefox has been running for a while, I get a message from Windows 10 that the free space on my C:drive is low. I did a directory listing on my C-drive before and after Exiting Firefox; I saw no large files disappearing. Then I decided to do "dir c:\ /ah" to see hidden files. What I saw was that pagefile.sys decreased in size from 29,925,748,736 to 16,270,770,176. This was a decrease of 13.7 Gb. Is this normal? I have lots of windows and tabs open in Firefox. Thanks.

Hi,

I am using Firefox 78.15.0esr (64-bit) on a 16+ year old MacMini with el Capitan. I use it for various low performance use cases like playing music, and for testing the performance of my webapplications on old hardware, using outdated software

Reading the attached message (and followed up information page), I understand that I can still use this version of Firefox. But that all add-ons will be disabled in two months. Which is very upsetting to say the least. Why is a stand-alone add-on that doesn't communicate with an outside server being disabled?

Given that I run an unsupported(?) version of MacOS which I can not upgrade, I won't be able to update Firefox to the version that is being suggested. This means that Mozilla (the party that I've always cheered on for its vision), now remotely limits my access to the internet because of a certificate that they used in the development of the software becomes obsolete. This is a move that I'd expect from Google, Microsoft or Apple, but not from Mozilla.

Could someone with a more technical background explain me how such a certificate is related/integrated in the build of Firefox (78). I mean, why isn't it possible to re-build the project with a newer root certificate, given all of the source files are online: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/78.0/ ?

when i open Firefox and open the address bar if I type a website that i have already visited it won't show up for example if i visit google maps it will show the website next time i type it in the box how can I fix this so i can show all recent websites that I have visited so I don't have to type them again to visit them
