Hi how can I change my browser back to how it was before the update this morning? A page came up which said something about an update but I accidentally clicked off it and I'm not sure if I picked an option to change the buttons but now they're all circular and and it's hard to see what I'm selecting because of the colors and it's hard to read the names of the tabs now they're very short only the first word or part of it. How can I change it back please?

Thank you for your time,

Linda

Desktop version update to 157.0.1 acted like a fresh install. Prompted me to import from previous browser. Firefox was my previous browser. I have my bookmarks backed up, but lost all my tab groups, which is a huge problem to try and recreate. Lost downloaded themes. Lost downloaded extensions. Why did this happen? I can't imagine it was by design.

Why is about:home is completely blank? Updating to Firefox 153.03Beta made it all disappear. Must I reinstall Windows-XI for this user-interface not loading anything that has been updated on Firefox 155.03Beta? I will attempt an optimization and see if that does anything. If it does, I will close this; but if not, it is quite some new bug.

Firefox 157.0 has suddenly changed the entire window including menu bar, tabs and the general window area. It is fading the colour from left to right. Suddenly I'm dark grey on the left, but it's got a weird burnt orange fading on the right. I tried the Customise and it has themes and now I'm stuck with it fading from right to left. black to grey. I looked at all the themes section in Customise, but it offers absolutely nothing suitable. It looks like something is going wrong but it's only effecting Firefox.

Can anyone offer advise on how to reset to all one colour, no fading. Windows apps set to dark theme. It seems to ignored.

Any help is welcome.

I was not given a VPN setup on restarting Firefox, and have no VPN icon in my toolbar. I have tried using customise toolbar, but there is no VPN icon to add back. Version 150.0, automatically opened to "What's New in Firefox 150" on starting Firefox, just without a new VPN icon. Thanks

When I try to attach file via drag & drop, the Firefox always display "Download file" as attachment. I don't know why because it properly worked before. but after some updates, drag & drop is not working.

The version of Jira at my office is not changed for years(v8.12.1#812002-sha1:7c28d59) and drag & drop is working via Chrome, Edge and etc.

After a recent update my bookmarks toolbar appears blank. It is shown, but empty. When I go to the bookmarks menu I find all of the bookmarks shown as being on my bookmarks toolbar. How do I get them back where they belong?

I am using Firefox on my computer, but WhatsApp Web is not working correctly. The page does not load properly, or some features are not functioning as expected. I have tried refreshing the page and restarting the browser, but the problem continues. Please help me fix this issue.

When viewing a PDF in Firefox the URL bar indicates the file was downloaded to a temporary folder. If I then select "Save" from the PDF toolbar; or if I right click and select "Save page as" it opens a save dialog to the location I previously saved the same category of PDF to. For example I have separate folders for invoices, if the PDF is my electricity invoice it somehow knows and opens the electricity folder. If it is a water invoice, it automatically opens the water folder.

Whilst this is indeed quite handy, I do not understand how Firefox is doing this; nor do I understand whether this may be a privacy risk in some circumstances and should therefore be configurable.

Yesterday (10/1/26) Firefox went through SEVERAL updates to v.157.0. Now, it behaves extremely buggy and locks up if I try to open more than one window. It was never this pathetic! I want to revert back to the previous version. Yes, I am running Win10.

Also, now it will not even close properly. I have to go into program manager to kill all of the subprocesses that have spawned. I DON'T LIKE THIS VERSION AT ALL!!!!!

Cant access "X" website .... get message that says Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection (strict mode) is known to cause issues on X.com

Due to muscle menu or not needing to think about it. Split should either be near the bottom of the context menu or you should be able to toggle it in settings. The amount of times I have gone to click a link to open in a new window only to split the view is driving me crazy.

This experimental "Permission" program and repeated new downloads several times weekly, are driving me crazy. Mozilla started this without notification/explanation.. Had no idea why I received frequent annoying downloads and popups for Permissions. A little bit intrusive don't you think? Stop it. No description applies in this circumstance.

So i have freshly installed firefox, every time i look up something on google i don't get any AI overviews, but when i use google in a private window google's ai overview works in there. what is going on? (keep in mind i have ublock origin activated on both windows but the ai only works in private mode where im not signed in)
