I use portableapps FF on windows 10. I just updated to 89 from 82 and now all my menus in the toolbar (i.e. my bookmarks as folders) now are much longer due to extra space between each item. Where I didn't have to scroll before I do now.

How can I change it back to what it was before so the pulldown menus I've tailored with no scrolling required will again work as before.

I have gone back to 82 because of this.

I just got a MISERABLE updated Firefox that increased the spacing in my bookmarks menu so it is essentially UNUSABLE with double or triple spacing requiring scrolling till one's arm falls off! Why is it us poor peons out here who just want to use our computers and the internet, and the Firefox they've used FOR YEARS, have to be subject to arbitrary UNNECESSARY changes made by some "developer", possible trying to justify his/her existence and/or is stir crazy in lockdown? win10 bookmarks on the right. FIX IT! And stop screwing up WHAT WAS WORKABLE! I'm not a "nerd" able to just manipulate stuff...I want MY FIREFOX BACK!

Firefox 89 on my Raspberry Pi 4 is displaying what I'm guessing is a codec issue. Videos can be watched but the picture is corrupted by brightly coloured patches around areas of detail.

Prior to the version 89 upgrade, version 88 was working perfectly.

I have Firefox 89 on a Raspberry Pi and a PC. On the PC it still works perfectly, on the Pi video is displayed badly.

On the Pi Firefox 89 is running under Ubuntu 21.04. On the PC Firefox 89 is running under Ubuntu 18.04

Am I alone in this or have others seen the same issue ?

Assuming I am not alone, does anybody have any idea what has gone wrong ?

I hate new firefox 89 looks. I can tolerate buttons. I can even tolerate ugly frameless tabs. But I will not tolerate bookmarks that are twice as fat as before. This is waste of space. Before I was able to see all my bookmarks from bookmark menu on screen. Now they are superfat and I have to scroll constantly in every sub-folder. Am I supposed to buy 4k screen now just because devs decided to make everything big like in touch-screen computers, even for mouse and keyboard users? Why is there no compact view anymore, only normal and superfat touch mode?

Is there any easy way, preference or something to restore old thin look? I googled topic and found some info about css styles but it includes too much of interfering with browser for me to do it. I want easy and permanent solution.

I've tried refresh, and closing modem, and restarting, and restarting while holding down the shift key. Nothing helps. I'm computer illiterate, so I'll need explicit details about how to correct the issue. Thanks for any help. I wish Firefox had a phone number to call. I'm on a Macbook Pro, if that matters.

Every time I search something on a certain website I get a pop up that says: "This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave — information you’ve entered may not be saved."

Hello!

I downloaded Firefox for the first time on my computer as I am trying to switch away from Chrome. I installed the latest version from the Mozilla website and launched the browser. Upon first launch, it had one empty tab and one privacy tab, both of which were empty. I assumed it was a bug, looked up the issue online and saw an answer saying to kill the process in the task manager and relaunch, which I did.

I launched the browser a second time, and made it my default, and imported the bookmarks from my Chrome default profile. The issue still was not fixed. I am able to open the browser, create new tabs, and browse my bookmarks, but nothing opens in the tabs themselves. Entering manually an URL doesn't work either, also an empty tab. I cannot open the menus either, I can browse the different options, that's it.

I saw another help thread about Troubleshooting mode, and had issues launching it - while I can find the "Run troubleshooting mode" option, clicking restart did not work. I only managed to make it work via the task manager (???) where it launched the actual, working restart option popup window when I killed the process. When it did launch in trouble shooting mode, the same issue persisted.

I tried looking the about:config commands but just like entering URLs, it gives a blank page.

My firewall has access to the software. I manually removed and re-entered the software access following a guide on the support forums.

All the help I could find online parrots the same things:

  • Reinstall the software: it's a fresh install
  • Clean your cache/browsing data/etc: it's a fresh install
  • Update your browser: it's the latest update
  • Restart your computer: did so to no avail
  • Check firewall: did so to no avail
  • Try using icognito window mode to see if it works: did so to no avail
  • Run troubleshooting mode: did so to no avail

I am at loss for what to do...

Picture attached, what all my tabs look like. I have never had this issue with Chrome or Edge.

firefox updated itself today to 89.0 (64-bit) and now when i try to use the search bar on my firefox home page it jumps the text up to the address bar instead of typing into the search bar to search. i do not want to use my address bar to search... it's also annoying to try to use the search bar and have my text show up in another part of the screen.

actually, it doesn't even search, it just types the text in the address bar then tries to go to the address and fails.

how to i reverse this change?
