I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hello. I have Firefox set to notify me of new updates but though I always download them I don't immediately install them. My current version is 88.0.1.

Today I downloaded what I now know to be the all-new complete revamp version. But I don't want to install it on my main PC until I've looked into a little more and perhaps tried it out on a laptop.With it in

Is there a way of removing the downloaded version? With it in place, if I restart Firefox or reboot the computer it will automatically be installed, and I don't want that to happen just yet.

I'm running Windows 7 on a desktop PC.

Many thanks.

how do i switch back to 88 i do not like the new browser at all and for it to just upgrade me without asking kinda pisses me off!!! i really will stop using Firefox if i cant switch back or even have the option to change the skin back to the old one please help

Hi, FF 89.0b2 Developer edition now contains a "fake editable" search field at the home page (the sentence contains in the class attribute so I used it here), when one start typing in it and the letters appear in the address bar.

For me personally this is partly non-intuitive partly annoying. I never met a scenario in UI of other programs, when typing in one place (where the caret is) show actual letters at another place.

Is this feature is here to stay or are there plans to to make it customizable? I used ff home page search for ages, now I installed a new tab home page extension with manually setting www.google.com in it.

Thanks

After the update today when I type in the lower Google search window (in the middle of the page) it opens the upper URL dropdown with clutter I don't need and will not let me use the lower window to type a search. How to I get back to how it worked before?

Hello,

I upgraded my FireFox to the latest version 88.0 today, and noticed some changes on right click menu. In the old version, the keyboard shortcut key is a to copy a link, but now it was changed to L. That is really inconvenient. As you know, when you right click a link using the mouse, your right hand is still holding the mouse, and not easy to press the letter L on the keyboard.

The old menu option is "Copy Link Locaton", but the new one is "Copy Link".

Is it possible to customize the keyboard shortcut of right click menu, please?

Thank you! Brian

Where the hell did all the bookmarks go?

I have lost all my bookmarks for my work. I have lost all my bookmarks for my medical needs I have lost all my bookmarks for my family needs. I have lost all my bookmarks for my banking needs. I have lost all my bookmarks for my financial needs. I have lost all my bookmarks for my governmental agency needs. I have lost everything. I have lost all my email I have lost all my social contacts and links.

What's left in the so-called bookmark file is just a jumbled up list of bookmarks that I placed in the "other" category. My indexed and sorted bookmarks are all gone.

Everything was fine yesterday and for years before that, but worthless programmers have to change things all the damn time and screw everyone and everything up. Version 88, give me a break. If I have any problems with my financial, government, work, banks, or anything else as a result of this piece of crap update, I am going to bring Mozilla down to hell. Worthless programmers just trying to justify your anal existence by creating buggy updates so you can justify your anal existence.

Mozilla relies on volunteers to handle the complaints. They're too chicken to face their angry customers.

I don't like the new release, so "downgraded" back to the previous version (88.0.1). The process forced me to create a new profile, and now I have lost all my bookmarks and history. How can I restore them?

I tried myself at about:profiles and chose "Launch profile in new browser" for what I suspect is my old profile. This again forces me to create a new profile, so that I cannot access the old.

I need my bookmarks back! Help very welcome, thanks!

On the subject of changes to the Bookmark function - how can I eliminate the "thumbnail" which is now appearing in Firefox 89 at the top when you click on the 'bookmark current tab' option. I don't need a thumbnail to know what I'm bookmarking - or what the bookmark is - and it takes up a lot of space, which in turn means that I have to scroll down in order to click the 'save' button.

imho it would be a lot more useful to show the past 10 or 12 bookmark folders that were used (as opposed to the 6 we're now seeing) than to see the thumbnail ...

Would appreciate an answer to this ....

I have used Mozilla for years. And years. And I completely agree with the sentiment "Mozilla please stay focused on privacy, speed and functionality". The ui doesn't need to be trendy ....

I am 84 years old and have limited digital skills. My computer is 2003 Dell Windows 7 running with Firefox at my deceased brother's suggestion. I do not know how to get my email back to normal size - it is now so small it could be ant tracks. If this is not the correct group, could you pass it on.

   When I go to other sites eg, Amazon, Weather, etc these present in normal size.  Can you help me get my email back in normal size.  My address is a @gmail address.

As title says, this newest update makes Firefox looks so ugly, I can change appearance to previous version or at least make cards bar thinner because now it's twice the size than it was earlier.

Aw, dang it. I just installed the new Firefox that was announced today in an email. This is supposed to be "cleaner." Now the tab area and top of the browser window appear to be transparent. I can see what's on my desktop behind the tabs, and everything looks much more cluttered! This is not an improvement AT ALL.

Is there any way to remove the transparency from this area? I'm SO disappointed! I thought this was going to be much easier on my eyes.

I am on Windows 7.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

W7 HP 64B. After the recent v89 update I have to ask, "why" ? Why change to wire icons ? Why not give me that option instead of you forcing it ? Why make themes when they don't change to what I want ? Why make the margin at the top of the screen larger ? Why should I have to try and "about:config: , to change something back ? Why are you not aware of the people you are forcing to use Chrome ? Who are you taking "MY CHOICES" away ? Are you demonicrats ? Why should I continue to use FF, when you have no answers, just rhetoric ?

In the previous version when I clicked new tab a window would come up and on the page was recent or heavily used web sites I visited. I could then click on the picture and go directly to that web site, video, etc. In this new version, that is not happening. I have to type in the URL each time for where I want to go. I am a senior citizen and this is frustrating. Is there a way to get this version to do what version 88 did?
