Hi Friends, I'm using Firefox for Linux Mint, mint-001 - 1.0, 133.0.3 (64-bit) on Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon 6.2.9. There is no theme for Linux Mint, but for Firefox, I'm using a theme called "Dark-Blue (o-plot) Dark-Blue theme".

Yes, I realize it's out of date. I'll be happy to update if it's needed to solve this problem. Well, maybe it's time for an update anyway.... We'll see.

Anyway, I found in Linux, the System Settings dialog, which has a few settings for scrollbars. So I made them wider (easier to grab with the mouse). But in the dialog there's a caveat that says it might not work for every program. And indeed, it works in every dialog and program except for Firefox.

First question: Is there any way to make the Firefox scrollbars wider?

Relatively recently, I migrated to Linux Mint from Windows. I don't know if the change in the scrolbar appearance and behavior is more related to industry trends, or if this is just Linux's way. But I sorely miss the 2 buttons at the top and bottom of the scrollbar (from Windows) that allow you to scroll one click at a time. I also miss the ability to scroll one page or screen at a time, by clicking above or below the scrollbar

Second question: Is there any way to get the scroll buttons back?

Fyi, I did search before coming here to ask for help. I found one message which appears to offer a solution. But it's too technical for me to try it on my own. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1513734

If that is indeed a correct solution, maybe you call could simplify it for me? Or maybe there is an even simpler or better solution?

Thank you very much.

When I sign onto Firefox, I get all of the browser history displayed on the screen. How can I eliminate that and sign directly onto Yahoo.com ?

All 4 of my Firefox installations started sucking big time recently. Unbelievably poor performance loading pages, which was working super fast before. Never had such an issue, running on 4 different, high performance PCs and having same symptoms, where I have to wait for Facebooks posts to load for minute or so. Youtube stops playing in the middle of the video. In meantime if I try same pages on other browsers everything works fast AF. I'm on 1000Mbps connection at office and 500Mbps home. Noticed massive increase in RAM usage, which used to be around 3GB, it is now using 6+. What has happened ?

I have a brand new Windows 11 gaming PC. My primary sound output is working fine for the PC, but when I play sound from a Firefox window, I hear nothing. Must be a simple setting, but where do I find it?

Trying to watch YouTube playlists but Firefox interrupts and displays a pop-up, stating that playback has been Paused. Why does it keep pausing?! I want it to play it on loop and I even tell YouTube to put it on loop. I can't find anything in settings that will allow me to stop Firefox from pausing my playback.

Have just had new Draytek 2927 router installed and FF (139.0.1) will not allow access to google.com nor to search via google. Google says "unusual traffic detected" and the Captchas never load. Typing a URL allows that website to open without issue. Is this issue with router or FF? Can access google.com via Chrome (which I have had to use to raise this query!) I am not using a VPN and only a UK language add on. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I was hoping to find out if there was a way to modify Firefox's desktop behavior so tabs could be added to a group without shifting the focus window/tab or expanding the tab group?

To help clarify my objective, my desired process is to 1. Take some number of mixed tabs 2. Sort them into relevant tab groups 3. Read/use webpages after organizing

So at step 2 it's a small interruption when each tab added to a group changes the browser focus.

As far as I can tell there isn't a way to do this in the settings or the config page but I wanted to double check

Thanks!

Hello, I downloaded Firefox Nightly on my android smartphone some days ago and used it with Proton VPN and some antifingerprint commands of the browser panel. The first days were working properly, the last day was not working anymore with VPN, but I need to use it with my VPN. My VPN settings are the same that were before so the crushing problem is about the browser itself. Also tried disactivating browser extensions but nothing changed. I can't browse anything with VPN right now

My calendar is not syncing properly on my iphone15 and Mac os laptop, google ask has the triangle in calendar it ask me to sing in I do, then says not working as cookies diabled

I just changed to a new laptop.

On my old laptop, the favorites bookmarks toolbar was on a separate line from left to right.

On my new laptop, this toolbar is on the same line with the URL. So there is only room for 6 bookmarks. (See screenshot)

How can this be changed to 2 separare lines?

Hi,

I'm using FF (128.8.0esr) on Debian testing.

Is there a way to open a site as window w/o any toolbars/menu etc. , preferably from the command-line, some magic switch?

This thread https://tinyurl.com/24b5q2t2 discusses the "ssb" switch but it's not available in this browser.

Thanks
