Is there any way to bring back the previous version of history that's sorted by most visited?

Like, why bring over the other sorting methods but not this one?

I know there are people that are going to be "well, why don't you bookmark the sites that you keep going to"? Because I prefer it this way. My history is my "second bookmarks" list in a way since my normal bookmarks are bloated and cluttered enough as it is.

My Firefox is in English, but the new update page is never displayed in English,

https://www.firefox.com/pt-PT/whatsnew/general/?from_main_nav=true&version=155

Problem number 1: It should be based on the installed language.

Problem number 2: It says PT-PT but it's 100% PT-BR, What is "celular" and "privativo"?, sintax does not conform to european portuguese either.

I hate the purple color on the buttons. How do I change it? I am not impressed with Firefox's appearance changes. I don't want to spend hours exploring themes and extensions and add-ons. I just want to change the color on the buttons. I just want black, white, and shades of gray.

Is there a theme or some other way to restore the classic styling instead of having these pills everywhere? This UX doesn't even make sense...tabs used to connect to the page content they were displaying, now it's just some disconnected oval; I have trouble seeing which tab is selected now because it's all various shades of grey that are about half a bit of luminosity away from each other...looking for suggestions on the best way to restore some sanity to this UI...

Enhanced Tracking Protection is preventing access to x.com even after it is allegedly "turned off" for this site. I have been using personal computers since the 1970s after the IBM PC was introduced, but now I am about ready to ditch Firefox AND Windows 11 to install a decent version of Linux. Grok on my iPhone 8 offered several suggestions to resolve this issue, but none of them have worked so far... including trying to us Microsoft Edge instead of Firefox.

After an update (seemingly, I did not run 'sudo pacman -Syu'), the tabs have changed in look and to be frank i find the new layout ugly. How do I turn it back? Attached is a photo of the new tab groups, i couldn't get one of the circular tabs.

I started noticing that Firefox was giving me a lot of "not responding" freezes the past couple of weeks. The past couple of days I basically cannot access Firefox at all - constant, immediate freezing. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling (multiple times), disabling hardware acceleration, running troubleshooter mode (still freezes! if it opens at all!), deleting profiles, restarting my computer, etc. I've done just about everything I can find online about this issue. Nothing has worked. I have no issues with Chrome or Edge.

Any suggestions??

I'll be blunt...: the new Nova interface is impractical, uncomfortable to use, and I find it genuinely hard to stomach. On a touchscreen, hitting the right tab has become a struggle. With a mouse it is no better — there are now dead grey zones where a click simply does nothing at all. This is not a matter of taste. This is a measurable usability regression, and it shipped to everyone by default. I am not alone in this. The same complaints are all over the forum, and my own students were furious when their terminals updated and everything suddenly turned round. These are people who use this browser for work every single day. For them the update brought nothing but lost time. We like Firefox. We want to keep using it. That is exactly why this is so infuriating: a browser we chose for its control and configurability is now imposing a design decision on us with no way out.

If nothing changes, we will solve it ourselves — with a patch that suppresses update notifications and adds a "Manual update" option to the settings, so that people have a CHOICE and can keep working in the good old rectangular Firefox UI instead of having someone's "brilliant" idea forced on them. I would much rather you simply gave us that choice yourselves.

Please restore a usable, compact, rectangular tab style as a supported option, and fix the dead click zones.

I'm really enjoying tab groups, but there's a feature that seems broken. After restarting my browser, I'd like to reuse the groups I've previously created. It appears you've added a menu option for that: "Add Tab to Group" -> "Closed Group" Unfortunately, selecting that just closes the selected tab, rendering those closed groups permanently closed. I can go ahead and add my tab to a new group with the same name, but that creates a duplicate item under the "Closed Group" menu. After using the feature for a bit, I know how quite a long list of duplicate items under a totally useless "Close Group" submenu.

How can I log into my account when Mozilla has locked it? You list no e-mail address, phone number, I have spent alot of time today trying to unlock my account? Why would I want to donate $ to Mozilla, when the customer service is so poor? My account username is [email address]. This is also my e-mail address. I would like to get my account unlocked so I can sync my passwords.

Thanks,

Joe

I believe the Nova design changes are not in line with a Mozilla Firefox that continues its role as the defacto default for security-conscious users.

As a fan of the browser who has recommended it to many friends and colleagues throughout the years because of its brand identity as simple, clean, and usable, I am frustrated to see an attempt to make the browser "flashier" with no increase in usability or visual legibility. The new design is not visually impartial, which was an important part of why I found myself identifying so strongly with it.

I would like to find a way to put pressure on Mozilla to continue support for a reasonable alternative that would retain an identity as a 'defacto default'.
