I-Firefox Community Forum

So, I recently updated my copy of Mozilla Firefox, and I noticed something strange. The button for the built-in VPN is disproportionately large to other buttons and clickable elements. I don't see it in the release notes, so I doubt this is an intentional design choice by the UX team, at least I hope it isn't. Any help will be greatly appreciated, as it is really distracting.

If it helps, I'm using Mozilla Firefox 151.0.2 running under GNU/Linux Debian 13 Trixie as a Flatpak.

A heart has recently been included in the Firefox icon in my taskbar. What's the reason for it and what do I have to do so that the Firefox icon no longer has it? I've run a number of antimalware programs and they came up with nothing.

Greetings. Been trying to enlarge the font size in the bars (title, menu, and tab) at top of Firefox. Have read many similiar complaints, but the answers don't relate to the problem. I can't find some of the options some suggest. I'm not blind (yet), but the type is so miniscule, I have difficulty reading it. I've uploaded a photo and a screenshot to hopefully clarify the problem. Check the difference in the bars compared to the page. I don't want 14 pt. type on the bars, but something better than the miniscule type. Thank you for any relevant assistance or advice.

Please, in laymans terms tell me how to get an older version of firefox without the tabs browsing. I just want a plain old search bar when I hit a new window. I want tabs gone.

Latest Firefox update made the widget space above my shortcuts way to large. The large space pushed my shortcuts off the bottom of the screen. I turned OFF the weather widget but the space remained the same. Before the update the weather widget was smaller, now it is big with a lot of empty space inside. I tried the config but it is already set to small. Is there anyway to make the area across the top of the new tab page smaller and even make the weather widget smaller than the "small" config? The widget has one line of text and the sun which takes up about 1/4 of the bottom widget and 3/4 of the top is blank wasted space. Firefox 151.0.1 (64-bit)

I don't know why any browser never seems to allow for this. I hate using the mouse wheel to scroll down webpages and always use the scroll bar on the right side. Problem is most of the time it's way to skinny/narrow to be practically used and the bar you use to scroll it up and down - especially on long pages - is so tiny as to be completely unusable. It may not be an issue for tweens who still have eyes like hawks but for older people, like me, it's a pain in the tuchus. I'd like to be able to increase both the size - width mostly - of the slide rail and increase the overall size of the slide bar you use to control it.

Thanks!

Just did a Mozilla update and noticed the Incognito Mode isn't working the same. I can click a link to New Private Window, but it looks exactly the same as a regular window. Incognito Mode was always purple which help me know I was in that mode. Anyone else notice this? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Since updating Firefox from a previous version, the browser no longer displays any Unicode emoji characters. Where an emoji would normally be rendered (👁), the browser instead displays empty space. Websites such as twitter and discord, which use their own artwork for emoji, are unaffected. This has negatively affected my browsing experience.

For illustrative purposes, I will add a series of emoji and include a screenshot of how they are displayed: (😀🙁😡💀). Other characters still display correctly: (β❖♞䷲⎈𐘢𓀺இ). My computer otherwise displays emoji correctly. The issue persists after disabling extensions, and has persisted between computer restarts.

I'm running Linux (NixOS) and Firefox version 148. I've tested on Chrome based browsers and they work fine. Tested on Firefox forks and they also don't display correctly. This is new since less than a week ago.

Thanks for any help with this.

I am making another plea: how do I change the font size of the working bars in firefox? The Title BAR, the Menu BAR, the Tab BAR, etc. On my computer, they're minuscule, and I can't see them. I'm not a programmer, I don't know anything about code, so that limits the way things can be explained to me, or that I can understand. Several of you have been kind enough to suggest different solutions, but they all make things worse. I think I've screwed things up almost irreparably. I can barely recognize my browser any more. I've even tried to refresh Firefox, and that also made the situation worse. And now, every tab crashes constantly. Thanks to anyone who can help me solve this problem.

While I can make the website text bigger, I can't make the menu items bigger. I have to lean in, shut one eye, and then I can squint to see the text on my big screen. On the Mac screen, it is too small to read. Enlarging the text on the Mac screen doesn't enlarge the menu items.

Mozilla can help by figuring out a way to allow the menu items to be enlarged, perhaps when the screen itself is enlarged?
