I-Firefox Community Forum

I have used FireFox for years now and I am happy but... yesterday after I synced my info across two computers and my Android phone, suddenly my wallpaper selection on my laptop disappeared.

I had a photograph and instead of seeing it? I have a white background and the photographer's name who took the photo but the photo is no longer showing as my wallpaper..

BUT I went to edit the wallpaper and selected a color but it doesnt appear. no item I select from the menu of wallpaper items actually appears on my browser

Please help if you can! Firefox on my other computer is working fine in this regard and this one WAS working fine until yesterday after I synced the devices.

thanks, Keith

Firefox is showing a badge on its dock icon. It's a flower. I think! But I have no idea what it means. What does it mean?

(No topic best described my question, so I picked one at random.)

I use an older dell remote monitor with my Dell laptops. When using my new Windows 11 laptop on the internet the text on the remote monitor fluctuates between is light colored and broken appearance to normal over the course of 5 to 30 seconds, back and forth. Text appears normal on the laptop monitor AND appears normal on both monitors when using edge browser. I wan to keep using firefox. Solutions?

I find this to be extremely annoying. At best, it’s still an extra click to get to the address bar/search box, but it usually doesn’t register correctly at first so about a quarter of the time it does nothing, about a quarter of the time I accidentally click a link on the webpage instead, about a quarter of the time my phone thinks I’m trying to swipe up, and only about a quarter of the time it actually works correctly.

So many “UX” trends are way more about design/style/aesthetics. UX designers need to get over themselves and remember that the key word is USABILITY - stop over thinking it or changing stuff for the sake of changing stuff and make the product better instead.

I open my history with the shortcut of CTRL+H. Since the latest update, when I do so the sidebar opens up with it (which is fine for now), but then when I close the history with CTRL+H again, the sidebar remains.

I would like the window control buttons to stay static rather than appearing when I mouse over them. I keep accidentally activating it when trying to change tabs and it is really inconvenient. Thanks!

If I don't use the custom adjustments in my Chrome css, seven buttons on that right side of the menubar are hidden, including the min-max close buttons.

This is problematic when I'm troubleshooting Firefox, and the css is disabled. If I want to close or take the browser out of max mode, I must move those buttons to the navbar, which has no such restriction accommodating those buttons, not to mention why is it necessary for that min-max close trio to monopolize 20% of the menubar. Waste of space. Inefficient.

I'm also curious why must that frame at the top of this sites pages remains persistent, and follows the user down the page, so that when you're composing, and accidentally (and all to often) touch one of those links, it get superimposed over the message, and you must move the cursor to the bottom of the page get rid of it. Not to mention, that frame shrinks the working area of the page about 30% vertically.

I mean, once you have already navigated to the destination page, and you're composing, how often/likely are you going to need to access that area?

I like keeping my search bar clean. In addition to the Favorites star, now there is a "add tab to taskbar". On occasion (not sure what triggers it to appear) there is also a "Toggle reader view" icon as well. How can I control what symbols appear in my search bar. I only want what I need not what Firefox thinks I need. Dislike this feature.

I have been using the synchronization of bookmarks and settings with my account for years. A few days ago, Firefox suddenly asked me if I wanted to create a profile. Since I had never used this feature in depth before, I selected the default “Original Profile” option. Since then, the profile name “Original Profile” has always been displayed in the tab title bar. I don't understand the point of this, but it causes me major problems because I manage my passwords using KeePass. To log in to the desired pages with Auto-Type, KeePass recognizes the tab title bar and automatically enters the data. Due to the above-mentioned change in Firefox, all my passwords are now useless because the profile name is displayed everywhere in the title bar and I would have to resave Auto-Type for all stored passwords (several hundred). This is very annoying. Why was this introduced and why is there no option to disable it? Very annoying!!!!!

When will there be a solution for this?

For some reason, after a restart everything in the Firefox Gmail window suddenly increased in size --- the print, symbols, everything. See pic below. I don't know if is a Firefox or Gmail problem.

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!

I have a Firefox icon on my Windows11 desktop, Start, and one on the taskbar. If I click one either the Firefox icon on the desktop or Start I will get another icon on the task bar and I can do this over and over on my personal desktop getting many Firefox icons.

I just purchased a new Dell Windows11 desktop and have installed Firefox. I set it up just like my personal desktop and have icons on the desktop, Start, and taskbar but every time I click the Firefox desktop or Start icon I don't get a separate icon in the taskbar but they pile up behind the original Firefox on the taskbar. If the cursor hovers over the Firefox icon then I can see the multiple Firefox homepages that I generated.

I have searched for an answer to this problem but have been unsuccessful. I would really appreciate some thoughts on this issue. Firefox has been my one and only browser for many years and I love it 99% of the time, just not this one time. :-) Thank you in advance. Chuck Hall
