<p>Downloaded the new version, how do I uninstall it? It is garbage. There are big spaces between the tabs and the tool bars, the favourites are so far apart that my menu is 3 pages long, and the themes were designed by a 3 year old girl with a fetish for unicorns. The only people that will use this are uneducated millenial inbreds, who spend the entire day taking selfies and looking in a mirror. It makes windows 10 look professional!! How do I roll it back? I suppose there is always google spyware - chrome as they call it. </p>

Isso muito me irritou. Para ficar péssimo tem que melhorar. </p>

<p>Hello, I am on an Imac using Mac OS 10.13.6 High Sierra. I did the following in order. </p><p>1. Yesterday I downloaded FireFox 89.0. I'm having problems with my eyes so the tabs being the same color as the screen made it impossible for me to use. All history, tabs  and bookmarks were available at this point. </p><p>2. This morning downloaded FireFox 88.0.1. When I opened it up I lost all my history, tabs and bookmarks.  </p><p>3. I then opened up FF 89 again thinking  that everything was updated to that version and I would reacquire my lost history etc ... I did not ... everything was missing. </p><p>4. Did the same for FF 88 and history et al were still missing. </p><p>5. I just checked my ~library/Application Support/ FireFox/Profiles and in addition to my original i86vhe6t.default and lzsayqt6.default-release there are 3 new profiles I'm assuming were a result of steps above. </p><p>I'd like to use FF 88 and recover all of my history, tabs and bookmarks as close to before I downloaded FF 89 as possible. Can you please help instruct me as to how to do that. thanks. ... </p><p>Later: After I originally wrote the above, I somehow managed to get back all of my settings but in FF89. I'd like to update my request to get information to use a previous version of FF with all of my settings. It seems when I launched FF88 and tried to change the profile to what I wanted, it wouldn't let me.  </p><p>Curleyhead </p>

<p>After the update to 89.0, all my passwords disappeared. This was extremely annoying as there were years' worth of passwords to some important sites, but Firefox had never let me down before. I was going to rebuild my passwords and set about doing that but after "saving" 3 or 4 logins, I closed and reopened Firefox only to find there were NO PASSWORDS. I looked for online help, followed the rules for downloading the 78esr version, etc, etc. After many hours I got it to open with my old passwords recovered. I had uninstalled and reinstalled so many versions, I didn't care how it worked but was happy and went to bed. I planned this morning to write down all the passwords to keep a hard copy and when I opened Firefox, they were all gone yet again. I have now spent the last 6 hours trying to get them back but to no avail. I have even tried to work with the key3.db and key4.db and logins.json files to see if they could be decrypted so I could write them down, again, to no avail. I have done everything suggested and nothing works...please help me or else I will have to switch to a worse browser that can at least retain my passwords. </p>

Sorry about my english, i'm not sure is everything correct what i wrote, but i hope everyone can understand whats my problem. </p><p>Regards Mario </p>

creator: greydragon412
content:
<p>I've been using Firefox for a long time now, and I seem to have an absurd issue where I've updated Firefox and it's turned into Firefox for Mobile. Everything is horrendously bloated, and slow to use. Tabs take up an enormous amount of horizontal space, and that's actually much less of a problem than the amount of vertical space that's being taken up.  </p><p>I went into the customisation settings, and believed I'd solved my problem when I could swap between "Normal" and "Touch". I believe these have been mislabelled, as they actually appear to be "Mobile" and "Micro-screen". I've been able to re-enable "Normal" through about:config, although I know that's going to be removed soon, at which point I'll have to find a desktop browser again. Although even this is too large and bloated for some strange reason. </p><p>However, while that at least temporarily solves the issue of the tab bar's height being incorrectly rendered at twice the size a sensible UX designer would put it as for use on a desktop machine, it doesn't fix the side menu which also suddenly has this absurd bloating between options. I now actually need to scroll in order to see anything below "Settings". </p><p>My main question would be: Does anybody at Mozilla use a desktop PC? Or are you all building this on a mobile IDE? Because I can't imagine a developer looking at this on their desktop and saying "Ah, yes, I've removed a lot of visual space. This will surely help me." </p>

<p>Hello, I just upgraded to 89.0 64 bit. Now my tabs are at the bottom of the screen not at the top below my tool bar. Also the plus sign to open a new tab is missing. They now interfere with searching a web page with CTRL F. Also only one tab is displayed and I can no longer switch tabs because their is only one tab displayed. How do I get them back to their original position. Thanks, Jeff H. Jeff.hanslik@pressone.net or jhanslik@verizon.net </p>

Nach dem neuen Update kann Firefox keine sessionrestore / Sitzungswiederherstellung mehr durchführen. Was kann man tun?

content:
<p>Hallo! </p><p>Ich bin neu hier und finde mich überhaupt nicht zurecht. Ich wollte ein Feedback schreiben, weil derzeit jedes Update von Firefox weitere Verschlechterungen bei der Benutzerfreundlichkeit mit sich bringt. Ich kann nach dem neuesten Update auf Version 89 nichtmal mehr die Sitzungswiederherstellung ausführen, da steht jetzt Neuer Tab, statt about:sessionrestore, wenn er diese laden will. Nachdem man schon den Sitzungsmanager von Michael Kraft wirkungslos gemacht hat, kann man jetzt noch schlechter Sitzungen verwalten. Keine erlaubte Alternative kommt diesem Manager gleich. Warum darf ich als Nutzer nicht selbst entscheiden, welches "Risiko" ich bei der Auswahl von Add-ons eingehe?! </p>

<p>With the new Proton UI, if you're in compact mode, then muted tabs don't show the favicon (the icon at the left hand side of the tab which represents the website).  It's replaced by the mute icon, making it harder to distinguish different tabs visually.  See the example in the screenshot. </p><p>Is it possible to bring the favicon back? </p>

<p>Since updating to the latest version of Firefox (89.0), I seem to have lost a feature that I had with the old version: previously I could click just to the right of the search bar and find options that enabled me easily to copy or email a link for whatever I was looking at.  Can that helpful feature be restored?  If so, how?  It's unfortunate when an update leaves us with less capability than we had with the previous version.  Thanks for any help. </p>

<p>Since the latest Firefox update, web searches I try to do in the web search bar on my home page, automatically default to the address bar. I absolutely hate this function. I have tried deactivating the 'search in address bar,' but when I do that I can no longer search at all, just type in web addresses, because it defaults to the address bar despite trying to type my search into the search bar on my home page. I hope that makes sense, I have spent way too much time on this and am about to change browsers, which would be sad, because Mozilla products have been my preference for as long as they have been around. Many thanks in advance for any thoughts and potential solutions, ~Marcela. </p>

<p>I have a firefox relay address for forwarding to my hotmail address. Several emails  that I have been  assured were sent have not been delivered to hotmail, neither to  the inbox nor to junk mail (some may  have pdf attachments). Is there any way I can see  what firefox is filtering out (perhaps wrongly identifying as junk). The missing mail is not appearing in junk mail on hotmail. </p><p>I have logged into the relay email  but here seems to be no way of getting to the inbox of the relay email nor the  junk box of the relay email </p>

title:
documentation of Firefox's efforts to provide "universal design" for browser accessibility for people with disabilities?

content:
<p>I recently posted a question (recently "closed"), which included an underlying question regarding the new "upgrade" to version 89 and its efforts to  incorporate "universal design" to make the new version as accessible as possible for individuals with disabilities (specifically, individuals with disabilities related to vision) as well as the ability to move an "upgraded" version back to the previous version, which was much more "accessibility friendly".  </p><p>the answers posted to the question by others made it clear that the "new, upgraded" version was disliked by many - for many reasons. However, the answers, from the moderators, were pretty "pat"/standardized answers that alluded to (basically) "deal with it" and "yes, you can go back to the previous version, but it's really not recommended". I seem to recall one comment that mentioned incorporating some sort of "fix" (can't reference it since the question was "shut down", due to the "question-asker" {me, who also works 4 jobs} not responding.......) </p><p>Never once was there a clear answer to the "accessibility factor", other than to refer people to "add-ons" and "themes", which are - on their own - difficult to navigate! </p><p>Please provide a link to the location of where, on the Firefox website, an individual can access any and all information regarding how Firefox is meeting the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and providing a browser that 1) is geared to be accessible to any and all individuals with disabilities and 2) how accommodations are being made for accessibility, particularly for individuals with various types of disabilities, including vision challenges, hearing loss, ADHD, etc </p>

But after getting my normal log in screen which worked as expected after signing in I kept going back to a new login screen where my password add-on didn't work. I have it fixed now but I can't tell you what I did to fix it; other than I did a manual login and after that my add-on program worked again. </p>

<p>This question was answered elsewhere but I can't make any of the suggested solutions work for me. The cursor jumping from search to address bar started happening yesterday (June 4, 2021) for no reason that I can tell - nothing's changed in my settings, unless it updated without me knowing. It's driving me crazy; if I type into the address bar, it's because I know where I want to go. And what's the point of even having a separate search bar if the cursor's going to automatically jump to the address bar? I'd like my address bar and search bar to be entirely separate, like they were before. Thanks so much for any help - I just switched back to Firefox and now I'm remembering why I switched to Chrome in the first place... I don't have time to constantly try to get my browser back to its 'normal' functionality. But I do love many of FF's features so I hope this can be easily fixed :) </p>

In addition, after saving the document, it sometimes replaces the Hebrew with gibberish when opening the document with Adobe Acrobat Reader. Inserting Hebrew text with Adobe Acrobat Reader and printing the form works as expected. I tried different PDF documents from different sources and on two Windows 10 PCs (with Firefox 89.0, 64-bit), and in all of them the print-preview shows gibberish in Firefox. I don't know if it ever worked properly. </p><p><strong>Reproduction instructions:</strong> </p> <ol><li> Open a PDF form with the built-in Firefox PDF viewer, e.g. <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/975548/sa100-2021.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/975548/sa100-2021.pdf</a> </li><li> Insert Hebrew text in one of the form fields, like the following text: מלל בעברית </li><li> Print the form. Compare the printed page to the expected result. You will probably notice the difference already in the print-preview page. </li></ol> <p>OS: Windows 10 Pro, version 2004, 64-bit Firefox: 89.0 (64-bit) </p><p>Thank you! </p>

<p>For starters, stop making assumptions about how people prefer their spacing on menus and tabs. Both are, with the latest update, too effing large, resulting in less visible screen space and an excessive amount of scrolling to access bookmarks. Do you think everybody is blind?! I desperately want to go back to the spacing in the previous version of Firefox. Is there a way to do that without downgrading to v.88? Also, the change to the color scheme makes it a lot harder to quickly see which tab is active as there isn't enough contrast. </p><p>I stopped using Chrome except in emergencies because they kept taking away my options to make the browser comfortable to me. Mozilla is now doing the same thing and it really pisses me off. You say you are making things better and/or easier, but that is only your opinion. I know you can't please everybody but why take away the ability to make tabs and menus more compact so less space is wasted and scrolling doesn't take longer? </p>

<p>I just started with 89.0 and instead of the horrid 15% of CPU that 88 used it now uses 30%. That's with an enormous amount of windows (not tabs) open, but most are limited by NoScript until I temp permit them. FX Task Manager shows very little usage, so apparently no ill behaved sites. AAR 30% of an i7 with many gigs of memory is intolerable. Even the 15% was heating up the CPU. </p><p>So I'll take "some" CPU heating vs. "massive" by rolling back to 88.0.1. By the way, whatever keeps changing my option from manually approved updates to automatic, thank you for doing that at times without asking me first. </p><p>The problem is that now when I start 88.0.1 it insists on a new profile "for my own protection". But I want the old profile, with hundreds of bookmarks and dozens or hundreds of session windows from my last session, and add-ins ... for example right how I don't have NoScript and don't have time to deal with that. I tried to get around the "we're just helping you" insistence on a new profile, by copying a week-old backup over C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\hbouy3r1.default\sessionstore.jsonlz4 and starting but it still insists. I guess that's just sessions, not the whole profile. </p><p>Can I defeat the prohibition against using the old profile, or failing that, can I import or merge the old profile in? Keep in mind that the "old" profile has been modified by having started 89. I wish now that I had never selected the old profile when I began 89 (I always prompt for profile). (But, heck, I didn't even KNOW I was going to a new version. It auto-updated, and when I started FX, and it seems to have "updated" the old profile making it now unusable for a prior version). </p><p>Or can I go to a backup and copy the tree of C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\OldProfile\ and start FX again with 88.0.1?  BTW I assume that is the version I was on a week ago. </p>

<p>Some time ago I moved my Firefox profile to a RAMdisk using IMDisk Virtual Disk Driver on Windows 10.  Nearly everything worked fine, apart from certain extensions (e.g. Google Container), which either didn't work at all, or wouldn't allow options to be saved. </p><p>The common factor seemed to be that these extensions needed "sync storage" and weren't able to access it when the profile was on the RAMdisk, even though it had worked fine when it was on the C drive.  (Note, it made no difference whether I had Firefox Sync configured to sync addon data or not - the relevant thing is that the extensions were using "sync storage" as their way of storing information locally.) </p><p>The workaround I eventually found was to move <strong>storage.sqlite</strong> and <strong>storage-sync-v2.sqlite</strong> back to my C drive, and create symlinks in my profile folder on the RAMDisk pointing back to them. </p><p>This isn't too bad: the size of the data is small and writes are fairly infrequent, and I can certainly live with the workaround. </p><p>However, it still seems like a bug, so I'm posting this (1) in case it's useful to anyone else who finds it, (2) to ask whether I should raise it on Bugzilla? </p><p>Some questions you might ask: </p> <ul><li> Was this specific profile corrupt? </li></ul> <p>That wasn't the problem: I could replicate the issue by creating a brand new clean profile on the RAMdisk. </p> <ul><li> Is this a problem with Firefox SQLite databases on the RAMdisk generally? </li></ul> <p>No: places.sqlite, cookies.sqlite and all the rest of them can be written and read just fine.  I wonder if the sync storage code is using different Windows APIs to access files than the rest of Firefox is? </p> <ul><li> Is this a problem with having the profile somewhere other than the C drive, rather than being RAMdisk-specific? </li></ul> <p>No: you can even put the profile on a USB flash drive and it works fine (well, slowly, but without the problem I described). </p> <ul><li> What if you create a directory junction so that the profile appears to be on the C drive, when it's on the RAMdisk? </li></ul> <p>That didn't work either - only moving the files physically back to the C drive fixed it. </p>

However for one of the devices (my main computer browser), the location displayed is COMPLETELY off. I live in Norway, and it claims device location is somewhere in Oregon, United States. I do not use any VPN services and both my public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are located in Norway, from which I connect with the device/browser in question (<a href="http://whatismyipaddress.com" rel="nofollow">whatismyipaddress.com</a> shows correct location for both of them). Also, activity timestamp is updated in accordance with my own activity from the client, but the location remains wrong. I also tried logging out the device, and logging back in, but this did not fix the location. </p><p>Obviously the location service used for the logged in device list is unreliable. I suggest that you please also show the latest IP address used by each device, so that more technically inclined users can verify correct addresses themselves, should the location be way off. It is unsettling to see strange locations (for known devices) on a page used to verify the security of my Firefox account. In this instance, there is no security breach, but it required me to spend much time investigating. </p><p>I do not know if it matters, but the device in question is a Linux desktop Firefox client. </p>

<p>I'm running F'fox 89.0 (64-bit) on Windows 10, and generally I like it and it is my default browser. But recently its previous colour scheme (Win 10 defailt) has been changed, and the top window border and all the tab labels have turned white instead of dark blue. </p><p>I find this most unuseable! I've tried tinkering with Options, and even installed the Firefox Color Extension, which didn't really help, and was most unfriendly to use, so I uninstalled it again. </p><p>I've also tried uninstalling the hole of Firefox and reinstalling it again, and even running a full Restore from System Restore, but none of this has helped! </p><p>Any bright ideas? - I don't really care what caused it, I just want my colours (sorry, US colors) back! </p>

I browsed the "places.sqlite" and I found out, that all of the broken bookmarks have "null" value in the "fk" column in the "moz_bookmark" schema. </p><p>I did a big mistake, as I run "Verify Integrity" on "places", that cost me all of my bookmarks without "fk". I thought that, it will only "verify" integrity, not try to fix it. But long story short, I lost all of them by doing that.  </p><p>I did "Manage bookmarks" -&gt; "restore" -&gt; from yesterday. It didn't bring back my bookmarks without "fk" (what a silly name - "backup", if it saves only a subset of data). </p><p>Is there any way, I am not familiar with, in which I can bring my "corrupted" (without "fk") bookmarks back ? </p>

<p>Gentile Firefox, sono un affezionato di Firefox: non uso altri browser, ho sempre lottato contro i ripetuti tentativi dei vari siti o piattaforme di costringere l'utente ad adottare Chrome o altri browser "benedetti". Credo nell'Open. Sono un ricercatore e cerco di divulgare open tutto quello che scrivo. Stamattina vedo il "nuovo" Firefox che mi viene presentato come "più nuovo, più bello, più performante ecc.", ma ciò che io VEDO (perché è ciò che VEDIAMO che conta e non ciò che ci contano) è che le freccette a sinistra avanti-indietro sono più piccole, il pulsante Mostra avanzamento download (che si usa spessissimo) è più piccolo e così pure il pulsante Apri menu applicazione. Quindi, nella sostanza, l'uso di Firefox per me da stamattina è diventato più scomodo. Questa è la novità (come diceva Lucio Dalla). Comprendo ovviamente la necessità di aggiornamenti e miglioramenti "di sistema", ma perché si debbano cambiare continuamente gli aspetti dell'interfaccia non lo capisco. Perché poi questi cambiamenti debbano essere sempre nel senso di usare caratteri SEMPRE PIU' PICCOLI lo capisco ancor meno. Voi direte: sei vecchio. Ma perché uno giovane non si rovina ugualmente la vista? Quanto potete continuare a rimpicciolire caratteri e simboli, finché non diventeranno microscopici: e allora, cosa avrete ottenuto? Notate che la logica del cambiamento NECESSARIO E CONTINUO è una logica consumistica e non di vero progressismo: la ribellione oggi consiste nel ribellarsi a queste logiche e difendere ciò che già è buono senza alcun bisogno di "migliorarlo" (in primis: il Mondo, la Terra, l'Aria, l'Acqua, la Realtà Reale). Chiedo a chi legge di inoltrare, se può, questa mia doglianza a chi può fare qualche cosa per evitare che al prossimo "rinnovamento" di Firefox io debba comprarmi una lente di ingrandimento per guardare lo schermo (e non ditemi che si può ingrandire: non si può passare il tempo ad ingrandire lo schermo). Grazie per l'attenzione e un cordiale saluto Gianni Mignone </p>

<p>Hello, </p><p>It is suspected that latest version of Firefox version 78.11.0esr (64-bit) is causing operathing systems to crash. I have not seen it on Windows platform as I am not using it. Platforms I am using are OSX and XUbuntu. The error occurs lingering on a site for a very long time. First it starts getting screen graphic errors like, some pixels are not being updated correctly. Then after a while screen starts to flicker, in a massive state, like the graphic processor is broken. In some cases with command key strokes one is able to kill Firefox, screen is back to normal and one can continue working. Facebook is the site that most commonly is causing error, but there are also other sites. </p><p>/ rodieki </p>

content:
<p>Hello all, </p><p>I use Firefox on desktop and on phone. The phone version of Firefox offers a reading list so I can temporarily save pages for later reading. Desktop, however, doesn't support this which means that what I have in my reading list on the phone, is not accessible on the desktop. </p><p>For desktop, I've downloaded a reading list add-on and saved some pages there. The problem here is that add on is not accessible on mobile which means I can't read any pages on mobile that I've saved on the desktop. </p><p>So basically, if I save something on the desktop reading list, it's on desktop only. If I save something on the mobile reading list, it's just there. </p><p>I can't save pages on one device and read them on another. I do not understand why Firefox offers a reading list on the mobile app but not on desktop. Whatever the reason, it's inconvenient. Also, I don't want to use Pocket because that means I'd have to download Pocket on the phone, I shouldn't need an app to build a small reading list. Saving the pages to my bookmarks isn't an option because it's inconvenient plus a bookmark is for long-term saving, a reading list is more temporary. </p><p>Any ideas on how I can just quickly temporarily save a page for later reading that will be available on both desktop and mobile? Thanks. </p>

<p>Every time I search something on a certain website I get a pop up that says: "This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave — information you’ve entered may not be saved." This has only started happening since Firefox updated and it's very annoying. I use the website for work so I don't want to stop every ten minutes to click leave page. </p>

<p>I always used the original Firefox search as my home page; one simple little panel in the middle of the page with a quick and easy search feature.  I loved it.  The latest version of Firefox has ruined it.  Now we are forced to search from the address bar.  I hate, loathe, and despise doing a search from the address bar.  It is an A-1 nightmare.  After you type one letter, it stops registering what you type and throws up a ridiculously long list of the web pages you've visited.  Type another letter, and you have to go through this mess again.  It makes for an absurdly slow search and never actually gets you to what you're searching for.  I wound up with search results that weren't even related to each other much less related to what I was searching for.  After one day of use, I'm so frustrated with this feature that I'm opening Google to do the search. </p><p>How do we reset this new version of Firefox to only search from the Firefox homepage search box and not go anywhere near that address bar?  Or do I have to uninstall the latest update to get Firefox to function properly again?  Even if it's an add-on that forces the search to where it belongs...anything! </p>

And then when I enter a search it assumes it is a URL and fails -- I can then only search if, after typing my search in the address bar, I must manually then go to the bottom of the recent address list and select the default search engine!  THIS IS CRAP, and an UNWANTED CHANGE FORCED ON ME. </p><p>I searched online and repeatedly only found the "fix" of setting "keyw to disabled" but that makes NO CHANGE. </p><p>The new behavior makes any search I do require relatively much more effort on my part -- really sucks and changes my entire "way of life" as I am a very active/frequent searcher! </p><p>Is there a fix (besides the "keyw to disabled" which does not work??

The thing that I don't like is that the top header is now very light in color.  This means that there is virtually no contrast with the items on top, making reading those items very difficult!  In addition, the bookmark list has changed.  Space between list of bookmarks has increased, which makes looking for bookmarks much more difficult. </p><p>I am all for faster browsers, but let's not get carried away with appearance redesigns that do not help improve one's experience.   I would very much appreciate going back to the previous Firefox appearance. </p><p>I don't like the new changes.

I have set the respective about:config settings to the recommended setting. (I forget off the top of my head what the string was at the moment)  But I did as directed.  Refreshed the about:config.  Logged off the Firefox browser.  Cleared all the caches manually. (i.e., even though I have Firefox to clear everything when I close the browser)  Restarted the browser.  Problem persists.   I DON'T like searching out of the URL pane!  I like it like it has ALWAYS been prior:  Using the search engine (I currently am using Google) search pane.   </p><p>I have added NO browser extensions to cause this either by the way. </p>

Worse, my Firefox syncs with my laptop at home so on that 15" screen its even an even worse problem. I can't find a way to close them all up the way they used to be. There was nothing wrong with the browser as it was. If anyone wanted a new look, they could select different themes rather than force this arbitrary update on all of us. </p>

From the first page viewed in 89.0, any rapidly changing image on screen starts distorted - blocks of varying widths, maybe 10 points high, change like a distortion or static. I get it on THIS page; if I scroll up and down quickly, fragments of my text show up in broken blocks near the bottom; especially when I scroll from the white background to the dark block underneath. </p><p>I get it when trying to NOT-quickly scroll though the Troubleshooting Information Firefox provides when I hit the "Share Data" button. Seems to appear in... the last lower sixth of the screen of a full-screen window. In a smaller window, it'll happen in the lower HALF of the window. Happens on all three monitors of a three-monitor setup. </p><p>Most evident when scrolling a page quickly, trying to advance time on an in-page video, on first-load of graphics in page... is there any way to roll back this change, is there an alternate renderer or any other option? </p><p>Don't get me wrong, the interface change is awful, detaching the apparent tab-header from the page is weird, the simplified line-based icons in the URL bar are unsettling and the dialog "window" when trying to close multiple tabs in a window looking ever more like Chrome all really SUCK. BADLY. But I could put up with those like every other damned UI change. But the rendering breaking is a deal-breaker. Please, please help if possible. </p>

<p>Olá,  a versão 89.0 (64-bits) acabou de ser atualizada. Não gostei de nenhuma das aparência oferecidas. Como faço para ter a aparência clássica do Firefox anterior? </p>

I hate this layout along with a lot of other people and wish they would remove it from the updates or at least make it easier to move them where you want them. </p>

<p>With FF 89 on MacOS the behaviours of the new tab page and address bar have changed. Previously I turned off search in the address bar preferring to do searches on the DuckDuckGo site which I set as my new tab page. Now, upon typing into the DDG search control focus immediately shifts to the new address/search bar. I want the old behaviour because I prefer to keep these functions separate. How do I do this? </p><p>Thanks in advance. </p>

<p><strong>Salve a tutti, dopo l'ultimo aggiornamento del browser ho riscontrato un problema notevole con la barra di ricerca.</strong> Ero abituato alla barra situata al centro della schermata home di firefox con le ricerche consigliate al di sotto della barra, ma dall'ultimo aggiornamento ogni volta che provo a scrivere qualcosa sulla barra centrale, mi indirizza subito a quella situata in alto consigliandomi tra l'altro cose di cui non mi interessa assolutamente nulla come i siti web: es. cerco sulla barra "dis" per cercare "disegno" e nei consigliati mi auto scrive <a href="http://www.discord.com" rel="nofollow">www.discord.com</a> oppure altri siti ad esempio <a href="http://www.dele.com" rel="nofollow">www.dele.com</a>. Tutto ciò rende la barra ricerca centrale destinata alle sole frasi o semplicemente parole chiave, all'inutilità perchè verrò sempre rindirizzato a quella di sopra. Spero abbiate qualche consiglio o altrimenti sarò costretto a cambiare browser definitivo perchè sto veramente impazzendo. Grazie. </p>

title: Must add option to disable the new Proton UI in the VIEW menu - it is awful for Desktop + Mouse.

content:
<p>Hello, it is enough to search "version 89 visuals" in the help forum to find dozens of topic complaining how awful it looks, and the reduced functionality, content on screen and efficiency. </p><p>Luckily in one of the threads I found solution, and links to articles to fix most of the biggest issues: </p><p>As a temporary tactic to buy time, you can use a preference to revert the tab bar to its older appearance. This is just for Firefox 89, so you have a month to keep an eye out for the next workaround. To set that up: (1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk. (2) In the search box in the page, type or paste proton (or full browser.proton.enabled) (3) Double-click the preference to switch between true (new Proton style) and false (old Photon style) Since this was kept in just for testing, there might be some occasional glitches. </p><p>Here the options I changed - set false to all. </p><pre>   browser.proton.contextmenus.enabled    browser.proton.doorhangers.enabled    browser.proton.enabled    browser.proton.modals.enabled    browser.proton.places-tooltip.enabled </pre> <p>+ even further reduction of the spaces  -&gt;   browser.uidensity -&gt; 1 </p><p>I expect the new Proton view is inspired by touch screens - and is more optimized for tablets, giving more space around individual options, with extra space around them - to make sure you hit the right option with your finger. The downside is we get less visible options on the screen, as now each option takes more space - and it is absolutely awful and less visible for people using desktop mode, and using the more precise mouse and/or keyboard. </p><p>And here a list of the problems and annoyances in V89, and why they are a problem (and these are only the ones I noticed so far - attached is a screenshot collage of the issues. </p><p>1. Tabs which play audio no longer show that they play audio, unless I hover on top of them - which is a big problem if you have 20 tabs, and are searching which one auto-played some audio. In the previous version each tab playing audio had the audio icon on top of it. 2. My bookmarks take much more space on my screen, and while previously I organized them to fit perfectly to it, now are going outside of it, and I have to (unnecessarily) scroll to find more. 3. On YouTube There was a "delete video" button next to each video in my "watch later" list, and I was able to quickly delete the watched ones. Now I have to click on the 3 dots, and then on the trash bin button to delete. Much slower an annoying. Return to the old vision <strong>(sadly I cannot find a way to fix this yet)</strong> </p><p><strong>This totally failed visualization must IMMEDIATELY be reversed, and you must add option in the VIEW menu - which switches between the old DESKTOP view (version 88 style), and new TABLET view (V89 style).</strong> </p><p>And it must not be allowed that you disable the browser.proton.enabled option in the next update, as this will force us to use only the new awful view, and give us 3 options: </p><p>1. Revert to 88. I have already backed up my profile, and downloaded it, in case V90 ruins the view permanently. This also opens us to security risks - so I can allow this for no more than 2-3 months, in hope you fix this fail. 2. Switch browser. Move to Vivaldi (which I use at work) or Brave, if you refuse to fix the fail. 3. Accept the awful view - not going to happen to me. I am using Mozilla since Netscape, but this fail is infuriating enough to make me switch if made permanent / even worse. </p>

Asi como todos los textos de las diferentes funciones, igualmente ocurre si entro en cualquier web, los textos son ilegibles.He probado con todo lo referente a ampliar tamaño de fuentes en todas sus entradas pero nada me resulta, querria saber si me puedes orientar para resolver el problema.

I recently received an automatic FIREFOX update and got Versioin 89. I need another browser. Suggestions?

content:
<p>If I had read about the 89 update before it was installed, I would have turned off auto updates. It now seems like I'm stuck. I've used FIREFOX for over 10 years and dealt with needless changes through that time. NOW, with 89, it would require too many hours for me to try to render it useful. Plus, when you folks throw all of these changes in, you clearly have no idea how impossible a situation you create for seniors. I'm a high functioning 70+ professiional. I have age peers who in the past have told me FIREFOX was too difficult to manage. Now, I'[m joining that <a href="http://group.It" rel="nofollow">group.It</a> is unbelievable that you would, for no aparent necessary purpose, reinvent the browser appearance, layout, and seolection mechanisms. Maybe you think your doing an aesthetic improvement. You have not. You have merely imposed change for its own sake. </p><p>I've given up on hoping that FIREFOX might  realize that most people want to use their computers for end directed purposes. NOT because they, like some who post, and evidently those who cooked up 89, think it fun and satisfying to spend their time interacting with a machine. We regular people don't love "code". It is not enjoyable for us to manipulate or write or have anything to do with "code".  </p><pre>FIREFOX evidently sees itself now as a browser to be used only by 25 year olds or computer devotees. It's kind of elitist, ya know. </pre> <p>Can you suggest a browser created with the old Firefox  mentality, that is usable by non-expert citizens? </p>

<p>As of yesterday's update I cannot access Hotmail or Gmail through FireFox!  I can do so in the private browser which I don't want to have to use AND I can access both through other browsers but would prefer to stick with FireFox if only they'd stop screwing their customers up so often!   I DID EDIT THE URLs CONTAINED IN THE SHORTCUTS ON THE BROWSER'S OPENING PAGE TO JUST BASIC DOMAIN NAMES BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AND NOTHING CHANGED THE RESPONSE OF FIREFOX!  Can anyone please help? I am so fed up!  </p><p>Here are the website urls that will no longer open from the browser page (screen shot provided) <a href="https://outlook.live.com" rel="nofollow">https://outlook.live.com</a> for hotmail (&amp; it wouldn't open even before editing) <a href="https://mail.google.com" rel="nofollow">https://mail.google.com</a> for gmail   (&amp; it wouldn't open even before editing) </p><p>Thanks. </p><p>PS there was a post last year of the identical issue but the solution she used isn't working here! </p>

<p>Why has FIREFOX decided to make it impossible to even find the COPY Paste functions ?????? Now the "Shortcuts" seem to be the only way to do so and REQUIRE TWO HANDS when only one of mine work that well??? WHY WHY WHY did FIREFOX screw up a simple design that worked?? Why change what people are happy with for no reason other than some computer addicts need to change things to occupy themselves? The visuals are awful and undivided. DO you think everyone is 25? Do you realize that your mucking around makes it really hard for older people with older vision to use the browser.  I just had to waste an hour trying to restore some functions to the address bar and tool bar. Why not make it easy for regular people to use and let the computer addicts take things away that THEY don't want? THIS WHOLE DEAL IS EFFECTIVE AGEISM because you are making the browser unusable for older people. If you were older, you might understand  how difficult it is to remember all the pointless changes that you are making, that REMEMBERING 100 shortcuts is impossible for most older people. I'm afraid that now you are sending me to horrible Chrome or Edge just cause FIREFOX now seems designed for and by 25 year olds. </p>

<p>How do I separate search from address? I do *NOT* want Google or any other search engine to have every web address (URL) that I enter. When I search, that's one thing. Directly entering a URL is completely different. Firefox automatically updated to the latest: 89.0 (64-bit). Now the Firefox Home page redirects everything I enter in the search box to the address bar! This is a problem! This is one reason I don't use Chrome. How do I configure Firefox to stop doing this? </p>

content:
<p>Is there a way to save a FF URL as a file in linux, from within FF?  </p><p>I would like to save URLs to the file system as actionable files. Expecting to launch the default browser by double-clicking that file or opening a new tab if running, although I can see where that might get weird and launch only the file's source browser and not the default browser; not a problem as yet.  </p><p>Note that I know this is not &lt;Save Page As…/Web Page, complete&gt; that saves the entire page content in a relative directory, or &lt;Save Page As…/Web Page, HTML only&gt; that saves page code to a file system link but without content. Also, not interested in FF internal solutions related to bookmarks, pocket, or favorites. FF is busy enough and my goal is to save links with my file system organization instead of duplicating that inside an application.  </p><p>This is something I once did routinely with Safari on Mac OS, but eOS doesn't map without a default desktop. I expected FF to have a menu selection, contextual or not, or key combo common to all platforms, but I found nothing and very little online comment about this.  </p><p>As a workaround, I can accomplish this is by dragging a highlighted URL from the FF address field to an open file manager directory window. The test file was under a reasonable 200 bytes and launched FF when double-clicked. However, this is cumbersome if the environment isn't ready and waiting, requiring opening a file manager without a desktop, navigating the file system, reducing maximized windows, and stacking windows within reach. Also, copying URL text can't be pasted into the file manager to create a new file; just thought I'd try it.  </p><p>Short of installing a third party desktop, am I missing a simple way to do this with FF?  </p><p>Bonus Question: what does the attached icon mean to you? I thought the little arrow on the known "code" document icon was mimicking Windows' shortcut style, but it's not an alias and I honestly don't know what the arrow means. If you action the file of this icon it opens a FF tab as I wrote above, but won't launch "code" even if asked, only readable from <em>within</em> code. </p>

However, there is a problem with what it displays.  It should include the name of the realm ("xxxx" in this example), but it does not do so. It seems that this problem has only started occurring recently.  Until a little while ago, the dialogue box used to include the sentence: 'The site says "xxxx".'  Why does it no longer do so? </p>

I do not want to use the address bar this way.  I found a help that said to open the application menu and click "customize" but there is no "customize" option there.  In the attached photo, I clicked in the search box to place the cursor there, but as soon as I began typing, it jumped to the address bar.  This has never happened to me before in the 15 years I have used Firefox.  I am a recent convert to Linux (about 1 year now) and am using Mint 19.3, Cinnamon 4.4.8, if that makes a difference. </p>

<p>Today is Sunday June 6, 2021  and I got a message to restart Firefox because of updates to be installed. It turns out that the updates drastically changed the "look" of Firefox on my screen, and I hate it. I am on a desk top computer running windows 10. It appears that you are again catering to the mobile crowd based on the changes that I see. The claims that the updates were to improve visibility, contrast and ease of use were obviously directed toward the mobile crowd. Everything now appears to be various shades of white and light gray which is a radical departure from the previous look that I liked. My List of bookmarks is now double spaced making it totally unfriendly to use. I now have to do at least twice as much scrolling as before. I hate it. In fact, most drop down menu lists seem to be double spaced. Why? This is just a few of my concerns. </p><p>I want my previous version back and cannot find anyway to get it. </p><p>Mike Brynd Windsor, WI </p>

<p>Seburo Seburo </p><pre>   Top 10 Contributor    Moderator </pre> <p>Today at 8:30 AM </p><p>Hi </p><p>I am going to close this thread as it appears to be a duplicate of: </p><p><a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1339264" rel="nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1339264</a> </p><p>I am not seeing any support request here for us to action or to assist </p><p>My previous thread locked yet again.  There are several obvious questions and requests for support, yet the mod Seburo cant see them, or is choosing not to.  So i'm staretring over again.   Watch, here comes the disabled get bullied yet again. </p><p><br> </p><p>In typical fashion, mozilla volunteers insist o go rewrite my letter somewhere else, on a dif page, on a dif site, in a dif location.   </p><p>AGAIN, these concepts are ridiculous and not based in reality.   In other forums, mods simply move posts to the appropriate topics. </p><p>Mozilla volunteers are now insisting we spend years learning and understanding the layout of their 1 forum, in order to post in what is their opinion of the proper location.  If I  could figure that out my own, I would have done so.  But I couldn't.  Mozilla makes it hard. \ So i'm reposting yet again, to show the world how this sector of human society continually gets pushed around and bullied, even when seeking support, and ZERO HELP IS EVER FORTHCOMING. </p><p>greetings, </p><p>the autistic and aspergers sector of society has an extremely difficult time with change.  They have made petitions, submitted emotional testimony online in your forums, etc, and there has been a complete lack of response.   </p><p>There is gobs of scientific data around this globally, and overzealous overlords in tech constantly change the way the product looks, ignoring the science. These changes do nothing for functionality for 99% of people, and doesn't generate revenue for anyone. </p><p>What it does do, is it harms, disengages, and disenfranchises this entire group of society.  Where they already have an extremely difficult time, the tech world continues to march away from logic, science, and evidence, insisting decorative changes are necessary and required, when the reality is we all know, there is an over the top engineer or designer at 4am on a sunday going "OMG CHARLIE LOOK AT THIS FONT!!!!!  IMPLEMENTING IT NOW!!!!!!  OMG THIS BUTTON NEEDS TO BE OVER HERE NOW!!!!!" </p><p>And then, they force us to accept these changes, without warning, teaching or sharing the change, and without giving the majority the information they need, or the ability to understand or even use the change. </p><p>These changes toss their family and home lives into chaos, stress, weeks of slow, turtle like crawl back towards some stability in these humans lives.  In extreme cases, these individuals can be physically violent with their family because they have social disabilities, emotionally damaging relations, love, and kindness, simply because the tech world is full of 1 up man ship, instead of logic or compassion. </p><p>The tech world can literally design build and create anything, except the concept of no change for those that need it most.   </p><p>Every time there is these fundamental changes either to design or functionality, these humans retreat from the life they have that comforts them, they lose advancements in their personal lives, and it disturbs and can harm their well being, their home lives, and their relationships with their care takers. </p><p>The latest update for your browser changed my childs right click menu, that he spent months learning about how to change and setup for himself.  He cannot understand or comprehend how he laboured for what to him seems to be an eternity, and one day when he fires his browser up, all his hard work is gone, that he literally spent months learning. </p><p>This time, because he cant reach his emotions, because of the changes firefox forcibly deepthroats planet earth with, he picked up his laptop and threw it out the rear window of the house, a total cost to repair and replace all damages amounting to just under $8000.  </p><p>Because someone changed his personal stuff.  In his private space.  Located in his personal house, where he lives in privacy with his family.  WHY WOULD THAT CHANGE?  WHY SHOULD THAT CHANGE?. HIS PERSONAL ITEMS CHANGED IN HIS PRIVATE LIFE. And no one told him.  No one educated him on it.  No one told him why it would be better.  No one provided him with the tools to use it.  He spent months learning this stuff, and one day he woke up and his effort was erased from the planet.   </p><p>Keep up the good work. </p><p><br> </p><p>We're all wondering why this stuff is all ok? </p><p>Why is it ok to take a virtual machete to someone else's hard work because someone wants a different color? </p><p>Henry Ford never went into that car you bought, and changed the location of the steering wheel or the pedals. </p><p>Thomas Edison never went into your house, and changed out the light switches for a new design or shape. </p><p>GE never went into any ones home and changed the plastic bezel on our tv's. </p><p>But all of a sudden, we have a tech world where the only constant, is change.  Change  of colors and buttons, which in most cases, the business world of making money, keeps saying is costing us, as a society, billions now, and its not generating revenue, its a loss and write off.  The business world struggles to keep up with dynamic products, reeducating and relearning, because some digital exist in a logic vacuum. </p><p>Speaking of losses, even the general public sees little to no value in change that serves nothing but whimful designers.  In fact, the majority of research indicates that the public would rather be able to makes their own style and design changes, instead of the dynamic, impossible to keep up with changes that have morphed into a false idea of progress in the computer world. </p><p>CHANGING COLORS AND BUTTONS AND FONTS IS KILLING THESE VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE INSIDE.  AND IT ISN'T THEIR FAULT.  ITS A DISABILITY </p><p>When can we expect Firefox to reach the reality that the public already knows? </p><p>This was also sent as an email, to mozilla press, via the web form.  As of today, the recieving email address is unknown and hidden, because instead of posting a public address, mozilla uses a web form preventing a submitter from retaining a copy for themselves in most cases, in the form of sent mail.  That in and of itself, at face value, appears to be intentional, a deceptive process of false engagement.  Another disturbing fact in all this, is that more and more companies are hiding the who/what/where/why of their leadership.   </p><p>As an individual, i am becoming more and more leery of companies and organizations that hide all forms of contacts and insist people use a forum, where they may or may not get a response, resulting in zero accountability in most cases.  (When organizations ask for free public volunteers to be members and help the public, that amounts to social theft.  Multiple countries on earth have outlawed this type of behavior, as it resembles an unpaid internship, resulting in free monetary maintenance value for profit oriented organizations, which I acknowledge firefox is not). </p><p>If an email submitter cant archive or even retain a sent email, because their point of contact was forcibly moved to an unaccountable web form, any organization can deny all existence of submissions, and thus wash their hands of all responsibility and plead ignorance.   </p><p>If your organization truly advocates for a healthy internet as it virtue signals, then this letter would never have been necessary. </p><p>Every single person on earth, is trying to understand, for 25 years, why our lap top and computer screens are 14 to 20 inches wide, and when we send an email or forum submission to firefox, all the text exists inside a 2 inch by 2 inch window, with 10 inches of unused dead space surrounding the text field, complicating and making editing and fluid reading 100% impossible.  We cant read 1 complete line at once, we have to scroll and scroll and scroll in order to read 1 SINGLE SENTENCE.  And then you forget what you typed in the previous line because your eyes cant flit and read it in an instant, you have to grab a mouse and scroll, causing you to forget what you were trying to edit, making you go back and find the questionable entry all over again, repeating the process.  Tiny text entry boxes are personal time thieves, requiring more effort and time to use.  And then because the text box is so small, some people simply write in MS Word or a text document, and copy pasta it over, because you can see multiple lines and paragraphs simultaneously, simplifying and smoothing the editing and proof reading process, all because of a design fail that has been implemented globally as good because its something different than what to used to exist, when we all admit the functionality is a complete failure in all aspects. </p><p>Imagine that. Not using the firefox submission form makes life easier to contact firefox.  WOW.  What a paradox. </p><p>These are absolutely preposterous concepts, yet they have existed for 25 years and more.  Everyone I know objects, and finds it ridiculous.  Yet it persists. </p><p>We keep pushing people away and disengaging some, because the rest can cope or deal, or simply to choose assimilate because they feel 100% powerless to have a voice. </p><p>The new tab "button" hovers over the browser, and to my aspergers child, seems to be disconnected from the tab and in the wrong place.  With no ability to fix, commence bay glass window shatter countdown. </p><p>$8000 repair bill in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6........ </p><p>.....because layouts, colors, button placements and designs, are changed.  And nobody asked for it. </p><pre>               Addendum: I have always set up my mouse to scroll 3 lines with a scroll. This letter, takes me 4 minutes to scroll through, even thought it is only 1 page. Because the text box is 2 inches wide****  </pre> <p>What a ridiculous waste of time, effort, energy, and my life.  Thanks firefox.  Thanks for promoting a healthy and safe internet. </p><p>To add to the above, i made an account or something to post this on this forum, i never save passwords or logins for any accounts and ff displays no known logins or passwords in my settings, yet this site has only ever asked me to login once, somehow somewhwere saving my information that i dont want saved, anywhere anyhow. </p><p><br> </p><p>to furthur add insult to injury, the most used font on earth is helvitica, which has been removed from the entire firefox browser. </p><p>We are now expected to all be engineers and developers and self code our browsers to provide basic functionality to ourselves. </p><p>What an absolute slap in the face to human beings. </p><p><br> Thanks again for promoting that healthy internet. </p><p><br> Note for Serburo: If you actually honestly read my post, you will find multiple questions, and multiple requests for support.  Do not lock without proper responses this time, as you have now violated the firefox support mandate twice. </p>

<p>The latest update of firefox gives a blank top half of the page on every page - including about:addons. Sometimes this blank bit is clickable and sometimes it is not. When opened in safe mode it does not give a blank top half and can be used. This behaviour occurs even when there are no addons installed. It occurs despite reinstallation and restarting. </p><p>Any help would be blessed. </p>

Where they already have an extremely difficult time, the tech world continues to march away from logic, science, and evidence, insisting decorative changes are necessary and required, when the reality is we all know, there is an over the top engineer or designer at 4am on a sunday going "OMG CHARLIE LOOK AT THIS FONT!!!!!  IMPLEMENTING IT NOW!!!!!!  OMG THIS BUTTON NEEDS TO BE OVER HERE NOW!!!!!" </p><p>And then, they force us to accept these changes, without warning, teaching or sharing the change, and without giving the majority the information they need, or the ability to understand or even use the change. </p><p>These changes toss their family and home lives into chaos, stress, weeks of slow, turtle like crawl back towards some stability in these humans lives.  In extreme cases, these individuals can be physically violent with their family because they have social disabilities, emotionally damaging relations, love, and kindness, simply because the tech world is full of 1 up man ship, instead of logic or compassion. </p><p>The tech world can literally design build and create anything, except the concept of no change for those that need it most.   </p><p>Every time there is these fundamental changes either to design or functionality, these humans retreat from the life they have that comforts them, they lose advancements in their personal lives, and it disturbs and can harm their well being, their home lives, and their relationships with their care takers. </p><p>The latest update for your browser changed my childs right click menu, that he spent months learning about how to change and setup for himself.

In his private space.  Located in his personal house, where he lives in privacy with his family.  WHY WOULD THAT CHANGE?  WHY SHOULD THAT CHANGE?. HIS PERSONAL ITEMS CHANGED IN HIS PRIVATE LIFE. And no one told him.  No one educated him on it.  No one told him why it would be better.  No one provided him with the tools to use it.  He spent months learning this stuff, and one day he woke up and his effort was erased from the planet.   </p><p>Keep up the good work. </p><p><br> We're all wondering why this stuff is all ok? </p><p>Why is it ok to take a virtual machete to someone else's hard work because someone wants a different color? </p><p>Henry Ford never went into that car you bought, and changed the location of the steering wheel or the pedals. </p><p>Thomas Edison never went into your house, and changed out the light switches for a new design or shape. </p><p>GE never went into any ones home and changed the plastic bezel on our tv's. </p><p>But all of a sudden, we have a tech world where the only constant, is change.  Change  of colors and buttons, which in most cases, the business world of making money, keeps saying is costing us, as a society, billions now, and its not generating revenue, its a loss and write off.  The business world struggles to keep up with dynamic products, reeducating and relearning, because some digital exist in a logic vacuum. </p><p>Speaking of losses, even the general public sees little to no value in change that serves nothing but whimful designers.  In fact, the majority of research indicates that the public would rather be able to makes their own style and design changes, instead of the dynamic, impossible to keep up with changes that have morphed into a false idea of progress in the computer world. </p><p>CHANGING COLORS AND BUTTONS AND FONTS IS KILLING THESE VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE INSIDE.  AND IT ISN'T THEIR FAULT.  ITS A DISABILITY </p><p>When can we expect Firefox to reach the reality that the public already knows? </p><p>This was also sent as an email, to mozilla press, via the web form.  As of today, the recieving email address is unknown and hidden, because instead of posting a public address, mozilla uses a web form preventing a submitter from retaining a copy for themselves in most cases, in the form of sent mail.  That in and of itself, at face value, appears to be intentional, a deceptive process of false engagement.  Another disturbing fact in all this, is that more and more companies are hiding the who/what/where/why of their leadership.   </p><p>As an individual, i am becoming more and more leery of companies and organizations that hide all forms of contacts and insist people use a forum, where they may or may not get a response, resulting in zero accountability in most cases.  (When organizations ask for free public volunteers to be members and help the public, that amounts to social theft.  Multiple countries on earth have outlawed this type of behavior, as it resembles an unpaid internship, resulting in free monetary maintenance value for profit oriented organizations, which I acknowledge firefox is not). </p><p>If an email submitter cant archive or even retain a sent email, because their point of contact was forcibly moved to an unaccountable web form, any organization can deny all existence of submissions, and thus wash their hands of all responsibility and plead ignorance.   </p><p>If your organization truly advocates for a healthy internet as it virtue signals, then this letter would never have been necessary. </p><p>Every single person on earth, is trying to understand, for 25 years, why our lap top and computer screens are 14 to 20 inches wide, and when we send an email or forum submission to firefox, all the text exists inside a 2 inch by 2 inch window, with 10 inches of unused dead space surrounding the text field, complicating and making editing and fluid reading 100% impossible.  We cant read 1 complete line at once, we have to scroll and scroll and scroll in order to read 1 SINGLE SENTENCE.  And then you forget what you typed in the previous line because your eyes cant flit and read it in an instant, you have to grab a mouse and scroll, causing you to forget what you were trying to edit, making you go back and find the questionable entry all over again, repeating the process.  Tiny text entry boxes are personal time thieves, requiring more effort and time to use.  And then because the text box is so small, some people simply write in MS Word or a text document, and copy pasta it over, because you can see multiple lines and paragraphs simultaneously, simplifying and smoothing the editing and proof reading process, all because of a design fail that has been implemented globally as good because its something different than what to used to exist, when we all admit the functionality is a complete failure in all aspects. </p><p>Imagine that. Not using the firefox submission form makes life easier to contact firefox.  WOW.  What a paradox. </p><p>These are absolutely preposterous concepts, yet they have existed for 25 years and more.  Everyone I know objects, and finds it ridiculous.  Yet it persists. </p><p>We keep pushing people away and disengaging some, because the rest can cope or deal, or simply to choose assimilate because they feel 100% powerless to have a voice. </p><p>The new tab "button" hovers over the browser, and to my aspergers child, seems to be disconnected from the tab and in the wrong place.  With no ability to fix, commence bay glass window shatter countdown. </p><p>$8000 repair bill in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6........ </p><p>.....because layouts, colors, button placements and designs, are changed.  And nobody asked for it. </p> <ul><li><ul><li><ul><li><ul><li>Addendum: I have always set up my mouse to scroll 3 lines with a scroll.  This letter, takes me 4 minutes to scroll through, even thought it is only 1 and a half pages.

content:
<p>There is a whole group of people out here with visual difficulties.  Me personally, I have what's called Low Vision.  I have difficulty seeing stuff clearly.  I've read all the comments about the recent change to 89, and have myself tried the various themes provided to no avail.  This is an extremely big concern, and may well be a legal one.  Please reference the Americans with Disabilities Act. </p><p>Here are a few observations that may be useful to the developers: Never, Never, Never, NEVER present a user with Low Vision white (or light) text on a dark background.  NEVER!  We just can't read it. </p><p>CONTRAST.  We need contrast.  The most recent changes that came with 89 have no contrast.  Don't argue with me; just believe me.  There is not enough contrast to be able to distinguish between items (e.g. different tabs at the top).  That's particularly applicable when I try to read a tab and can't because the tab's background has become transparent and I can't read the "print" because of the very busy theme design in the background.  Reference my comment above about presenting white text on a black background.  It's just as bad with a transparent background.  When it comes to design, just because you can doesn't mean you should. </p><p>SIZE.  For most of us, each item needs to be larger.  I'm referencing the icons that represent the various hyperlinks.  I have such trouble making out each one of them.  And there does seem to be a lot of white space that we didn't have before.  I don't need all that white space; I need to see what I'm looking at. </p><p>I'm going to suggest that you recruit someone with experiencing designing graphics for folks with vision challenges.  Cause right now, it looks like you don't have anyone like that on your team.  And if you can't present us with suitable choices, I'm willing to bet there's a considerable number of users who will find it necessary to move on to a new browers. </p><p>Thanks for listening. </p>

<p>Hi all, I have downloaded the new firefox 89. I have always had the Google search text box selected for display on my Firefox page. However, I can no longer enter text into it, all text I enter is re-directed to the firefox URL search box. So what is the point of being able to specify a search engine display on the homepage and how can I change the operation back to what is used to be - and indeed SHOULD be. When you select a text box for input by placing your curser in the box, text should ALWAYS be directed to that cursor position otherwise you have complete mayhem! </p>

Elég sokszor előfordul, hogy a levélírás kezdetén még nem jelzi ki egy-egy szó elütését, de aztán egyszer csak - nem tudom mitől - már tisztességesen elkezdi írás közben is pirossal aláhúzni az elütött szót, és jobb-gombra a javítást is végigcsinálja tisztességesen. Igazából azt nem tudom, hogy mitől változik meg hogy ellenőriz, vagy nem? Megpróbáltam, hogy mentést kérek a félkész levélre, hátha ezt követően már beindul a helyesírás ellenőrzés, de nem jött be a dolog. Ha a menüből (Beállítások) megkérek egy azonnali ellenőrzést, akkor az rendesen megtörténik, de az írás közben ellenőrzés ezt követően sem indul be. Kösz, ha valaki tudna ebben segíteni. </p>

He obviously does not know how to use the F11 button. Conclusion - you need to migrate to a more adequate and traditional browser. But you also need to transfer everything you typed here. </p><p>Are there tools for a normal transfer, or do you need to manually edit everything? </p>

<p>Hey all, </p><p>I upgraded firefox to 89.0 (firefox for ubuntu). When playing videos it now uses <em>RDD process</em> instead of <em>Web Content</em>. The problem however comes from the resources "RDD process" uses. It is consistently at 100% usage of a CPU core and this is causing my fans to be really loud. I fixed this by changing <strong>media.rdd-process.enabled</strong> to disabled in about:config and this fixed the system resource issue but I don't think this is what is meant to happen. </p><p>As far as I know "RDD process" is meant to use the GPU. My computer has a dedicated GPU so I am at a loss as to what is going on here. Anybody who has any idea? </p><p>Thanks in advance. </p>

<p>seemingly at random, <strong>images displayed in firefox will look incredibly messed up</strong> (like artifacting, and discolored chunks or stripes), <strong>text will be missing</strong> (as small as a few letters or as much as a page having no visible text at all), <strong>text will be discolored</strong> (usually a bright color like neon green or pink), and/or or <strong>text will appear blocky</strong> (sometimes manifesting as the font looking a little thicker and less HD, sometimes as bad as just being illegible rectangles). text with missing letters is able to be read while highlighted, but text that has become blocky is still unable to be read (still blocky) even while highlighted. i don't know if discolored text is affected by highlighting. </p><p>these issues happen regardless of what website i'm on, and will also happen on new tab pages or on firefox settings pages. it isn't consistent, it comes and goes. refreshing the page doesn't help or change anything, but if i close the tab and then navigate to the page again it's often different.  </p><p>i've attached all the examples i've thought to capture, which isn't much. it can make the browser practically unusable at times. </p><p>i have firefox <strong>version 89.0</strong> (64bit, auto updates enabled), on a <strong>windows 10</strong> with 8GB of RAM and AMD FX-9800P RADEON R7 (i honestly.. don't know what that part means, but thought it could help) i previously had <em>"Use recommended performance settings"</em> and <em>"Use hardware acceleration when available"</em> enabled in firefox, but i turned them both off in an attempt to fix the problem. it didn't help. </p><p>i can't say for sure when this issue began, as i haven't used firefox much until recently, but i think it's been happening for over a month now. none of the other programs i use appear to be having visual problems, just firefox. at some point a year or more ago, i ran firefox on this computer without issue. </p>

<p>I has taken many years of work for Mozilla to create a usable internet browser, and now you have taken that away. How was the Person who decided to put the search option into the URL. This is not only unsafe, but makes the Start page, useless. When I type in the Search I want to see it being input into the middle of my Start page like it has always been done, not waist a whole page for nothing. It is not only a stupid idea, it is also a waist of the text that us used to create the Start page. I would also like to note that many of the mobile, tablet and other computers all use this method, and it is rubbish and removes the point of having a page with a search text box in the middle. </p><p>for god sake can you please stop trying so hard to be the best of the best, Firefox has always been the best, and you seem to be trying your best to destroy it for many many users. </p>

<p>I'm hoping to bring my Chrome favorites over to Firefox and use the easily. When I was using Chrome there was a problem with duplicate favorites and I think I have 3 sets of duplicate favorites. I asked about this online and I was told that by using switching to Firefox and then importing my favorites from Chrome would eliminate the duplicates. When I first brought them over they were put in my bookmark toolbar. I think I did this but what a mess. Is it better to take my Chrome bookmarks into a separate file where I can pick and choose the duplicate bookmarks and then bring them over to Firefox? Of course I don't know how you do that and I'm just not computer savvy. Thank you for your time and any help or advice you can give me. I'm just frustrated so thanks for your help. </p><p>Sincerely, Rob </p>

Firefox is not entering text in text boxes when I type stuff in them.   Also, text sometimes ends up in the address bar when it shouldn't.

content:
<p>I'm having a very strange problem that's only occurring with Firefox and not any other browser.  Since this new update went through, whenever I go to Google's web page, I will type a search on the text box on Google's web page.  The text doesn't appear in that text box.  But instead, is somehow being captured by Firefox's address bar.    Not only that, ever since the update, whenever I type a response in a text box on my Facebook page, Youtube, or anywhere with a text box to reply or make comments, whatever I typed doesn't even show up.  I see it when I type it in the proper text box.  But after I click "Submit" or "Enter" on the sites, no text is submitted and my comment disappears.  This happens on all the sites with text boxes, and it ONLY happens with Firefox, and has only been happening since the update.  It's getting frustrating typing long answers to questions that require long explanations of things, only to have them not get submitted to the site.  It's like Firefox is blocking me from commenting or making comments.   I'm not having the same problem with my phone browser.  It's only a problem on my PC one. </p>

I guess I could just use Safari but apart from the ease of use thanks to uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger add-ons in Firefox, Netflix doesn't want to stream in Safari. So I am screwed either way. The Google Fiber tech help doesn't know what to do, their tech said that he sees this Firefox a lot, no solution. And yes, I have 150 GB of space on my hard drive so that's not an issue. Also, 16 GB of RAM. Any ideas what causes this and/or how this can be fixed or improved? </p>

One of the online accounts I was trying to download from - I rang them - suggested I try using Google Chrome, and I was successful on that browser.  So why won't they download for me on Firefox? [I've played around with the settings for downloading apps, and have read a number of previous questions on this forum, none of which have addressed my particular problem.]  You must have come across this before, so what do you advise?

<p>I had tried everything. I have deactivated all FOUR of my plugins and started up Firefox again. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a fresh copy. I installed Firefox on an SSD even and it is still painfully slow. I have the same plugins and such on Chrome and that one opens up immediately. So I have been using Chrome a lot more lately because Firefox is opening slowly these days. Takes 15-20 seconds for Firefox to open every single time. I have deactivated each plugin one by one to see if they were causing the issue and sure enough, all of them were clean. Firefox still opens slowly. </p><p>On an unrelated note, I have been using Chrome a lot more lately also because some things on a webpage don't work on Firefox. I can't explain it. Like on the hickory farms website, I click on the Add To Cart button and it looks like it is being pressed, but nothing is added to the cart. This type of thing happens across the internet on many different sites. When I go to Chrome, everything works as it ought to. I have my settings set to Standard in Privacy and Security. I don't know where else I have to check and change things to get those buttons and other links and such to work. </p>

<p>In version 89, if you put a web address in a google search it shoots up to the top, showing you a list of what you have already looked at with that letter/letters. The problem here is that, like with everyone else, I get spam and phishing. To check if it is a real one or not, I usually put the address in a google search first which then shows if it is a possible real one or not. I tried this with a phishing email I got.  I put in the address "<a href="http://therightcontact.org" rel="nofollow">therightcontact.org</a>" into what I though was the google search bar and instead of displaying the google search, it instantly put it up the top and started loading the page. This could be disastrous for many computers if it automatically loads the page instead of a google search. I just tried and if you start typing any address in a google search, it shoots up to the address bar and starts putting addresses of websites that you have bookmarked or visited. If you wanted to see something for a train for example, it will ALWAYS show the websites you have up the top first. So basically you can not do any google search without it taking you to the list of the latest websites you have visited. My son is trying to search pages for his homework, but it keeps loading the same webpage every time he does a search. Is there a way to turn this off as it is very annoying not being able to do a simple search? </p>

<p>How do I change my color scheme back to the original?  Firefox upgraded my system (June 5, 2021) and the new color scheme is terrible.  I want what I had yesterday.   "Tools-Addons-Appearance- default setting" is an old instruction and path, and is not applicable in this version. </p>

<p>Since installing the latest versio of Firefox for Windows 10 I can't open some websites (including annoyingly my own video podcast) unless I restart my computer. Other websites load perfectly. Those that don't load show the correct tab with the oscillating dot but a connection with the server is never established. If I then restart the computer (leaving the frozen tab in place) the website immediately loads. This was never a problem with the old version of Firefox. The new version seems to freeze out the relevant server until a restart is done. Is there any way I can enter the URLs of the affected sites in Firefox to ensure they can be accessed at all times? </p>

Now I've been getting an error message saying "Looks like your browser is no longer supported" when trying to play video on Netflix and it won't play. I noticed that it self-updated a couple times over the last few days but these updates did not solve the problem. I'm hoping that this problem can be fixed so that I can keep watching Netflix on Firefox, as I find Chrome and other browsers are very slow and laggy compared to Firefox. Thanks :) </p>

<p>I am running RHEL 7 and KDE4 with Firefox Nightly. </p><p>Firefox will not use KDE/Qt dialog boxes or system applications. For example: when showing the downloaded file list (Ctrl + Shift + y) and clicking the folder icon to show the file's location, firefox will freeze for several seconds before opening a window in Nautilus. </p><p>I have found discussions of this problem that span seemingly a decade without a simple step-by-step guide or an updated solution. Answers range from: editing =mimeinfo.cache= file for the =inode.directory= line, editing items in =defaults.list= file; setting the =GTK_USE_PORTAL=1= variable (somewhere) and then changing various =about:config= settings. </p><p>It's just confusing and exhausting tracking this down. Is it possible to get firefox to play nicely with KDE? Nothing that I have tried so far seems to have worked, but I'm honestly not sure where this setting would live, or magic bash incantation I need to run. </p><p>I know this seems minor, but having just switched back over to firefox to chrome, it seems very jarring seeing the GTK dialogs that do not play nicely with the rest of my desktop/workflow (i.e., I do not want to start a Gnome vs KDE flamewar, but rather: I'm used to dolphin and how it works and make heavy use of the embedded terminal within dolphin windows or drag&amp;drop files into the Qt open dialog box which "drops" as a file path ... I have no idea what happens if I drag something into the GTK open dialog box) </p>

There is only one tab in the new Firefox window (not two like previously reported) - the home page.  This does not happen when I switch to Safari.  In preferences, I have "open links in tabs instead of new windows" checked.  This just started a few months ago.  Also, in the example email, when i hover over the hyperlink, a little downarrow box appears to the right of the link.  When I click on the down arrow, a window opens with the proper link, but it's not a Firefox window.  At the top of this new window, there is a box that says "open with Safari".  When I click on it, it takes me to a new Firefox window with only the home page tab. ???? </p><p>Bob </p>

<p>What I need is to get version 88 --- as it was on my pc -- with bookmarks, log-in info, forms info because I use all of that for my work. When I allowed the update to version 89, I didn't know that the changes would be so vast. I downgraded, because in the past this was doable -- and no warning was given about info (just the 'profile', and that term is very misleading), to 88 and lost everything. I cannot work. Loss of productivity is an understatement, as it's also loss of earnings. I cannot believe Mozilla/Firefox would sabotage our browser's personal info like this!! Heartless. And from what I've been reading, many others have been similarly sabotaged. We need a fix to restore our data! </p>

<p>I just got the most recent update for Firefox, and since then I can only search in the address bar, which I don't like. In the past, I could just use the web search tab from the Mozilla homepage, and the address bar was only for URL links and websites from my history. Now, every time I try to search withing my web search tab, the texts moves to the address bar. I tried working on my settings, but regardless of how many times I uncheck the 'search in the address bar' option, it will check itself again automatically (I'm not sure this is necessarily the problem). I have already tried things in about:config, setting  keyword.enabled, browser.urlbar.oneOffSearches and browser.fixup.alternate.enabled to false, but that changes the way the address bar works, it does not fix my issue. Is there any way to change that? </p>

I'm saying this so that, hopefully someone in Mozilla will change the strategy of a new release every ten days, and go back to a stable, usable, secure browser.  </p><p>But it's a sad day. </p>

<p>My employer uses Proofpoint's urldefense to protect against malicious links in Outlook emails. A problem I'm having while working from home on my own Windows PC is that, with Firefox as my default browser, certain links that I know to be safe won't open. If, however, I change my default browser to, for example, Brave, they do open in Brave. My less than satisfactory work-around is to have Brave as my default browser while using Firefox whenever I can. </p><p>Insofar as I understand Proofpoint's explanation of how urldefense works, it rewrites links within Outlook emails so that clicking on a link goes to their facility for checking whether the original url is on their safe list. But if this indeed is how urldefense works, I don't understand how certain links "pass" and are opened in Brave but "fail" and do not open in Firefox. </p><p>It's an admittedly minor inconvenience. Nevertheless, if anyone knows of a fix, I'd be grateful. </p><p>Thank you in advance for your consideration. </p>

Thank you for your hard work and just appreciating how essential the browsers' Working is to our lives. It is. Thank you, thank you, thank you!  :) (I'm now thinking I should maybe put my updates on "notify me first /let me download when ready"...but I'm not really sure if that would accomplish anything because I'd still have to download them to see if there were problem/s that effected My devise in particular. Community posts don't tell you that - or what to do.  Pop-up status msgs would be appreciated.. if you'd have time...even if not all knowing...just to know some are aware of X issue...working on it...estimated back up time... whether we could/should do a "system restore" &amp; wait until further notice to DL again. But I guess our issues are what you need to see to fix them...But I digress.  Thank you again for working hard to store functionality. I needed something right to happen in my life - someone to be an expert at what they do. Thanks for your humanity. </p>

I would like love to keep using Firefox because of its beauty, but with those things I don't think I'll be able to. </p><p>Here are the things: <strong>* Performance on Firefox is bad if compared to Opera GX or Edge.</strong> Yes, I did enable the hardware acceleration but still... scrolling down on Facebook is choppy (don't know if it is an appropriate word, but still), opening and trying to move the screen on Roll20 (virtual tabletop) and some more... Any clues? </p><p><strong>* Websites are not the same</strong> Sometimes I see a website with different styles that I was used to see on Opera GX and Edge. Trello scrollbars is an example of that. On Opera GX and Edge, it looks thin, clean and modern, while on Firefox looks like that old, fat scrollbar. There's also a system that I use that all buttons are on the right side of the screen but on Firefox they are on the left side, some inputs starts from the far-right to left intead of the regular left to right and so on... </p><p>Could you guys help-me with that? Is everything working as they supposed to??

<p>In version 89 running on windows there is no "options" setting in the three bar file. Previously I had things running so that if I opened a new window it came up with my chossen browser (Startpage). Now if I do that it opens a new tab instead of a window and does so in Firefox. So then I try to find "options" but its not there. So I go to settings and it offers me an option to open in tabs instead of new windows. Implication is that the default is a new window. SO I make sure thats not ticked and I close firefox and reopen it. No difference. Then I come at it the other way ie to tell the tab to despay my home page but it wont let me do that either. Choices there are only a blank page or (yes you guessed it) Firefox. All help gratefully recieved. </p>

<p>Hello, </p><p>I had been using the default "A theme with the operating system colour scheme"  v1.1. November 2020.   I had a blue title bar  (version 88.01, windows 10) , but with the latest update (version 89.0, windows 10) the default is now light grey. I find grey title bars impossible as I can't differentiate between a window on top of a document or just the document at a glance.   My default o/s colour scheme is a blue title bar, so I suspect your default follow the o/s is not working correctly. </p><p>Please fix this because it makes it very hard for me to work.  I have tried other colour schemes to try and get something similar but they are all not quite right. </p><p>[edit I think the problem is the title bar has just disappeared in this update.] </p><p>I look forward to hearing from you. </p><p>Regards, Andy </p>

<p>I am running on a Windows 7 64-bit desktop for work, and it's about 6 years old. Each morning I find myself unable to access any Google sites, but all other sites work fine. </p><p>For the last two weeks, every day I've had to do a full refresh of Firefox to default settings in order to access any Google sites.  As an educator, we use Google Drive and Google Classroom all the time, so that is something I have to be able to access. </p><p>It's only Google sites that I can't go to, and it's only in Firefox.  Once I refresh, everything is fine until the following day. </p><p>The only modification I make to Firefox is to enable Dark Mode.  Otherwise, I don't use extensions or add-ons.   </p><p>This has become a real issue.  I'd like to continue using Firefox as my default browser so I need to find a solution.  Any suggestions? </p>

topic: fix-problems

creator: b1k3rdude
content:
<p>Since upgrading to v89 I have found that FF will now refuse to remember its last used window size and location, and FF v88 didn't exhibit the same issue. </p><p>I will preface this by saying I fully appreciate Windows 10 20h2 is probably partly to blame. I use a ultrawide monitor (3440*1440) and windows10 itself has an utterly crap window size and location issue(since v1809 upto 20H2) with most applications/programs. So to get around that I have been using Windowmanager (<a href="http://www.desksoft.com/WindowManager.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.desksoft.com/WindowManager.htm</a>) and/or Ultramon (<a href="https://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/" rel="nofollow">https://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/</a>) to brute force Window pos/size etc. </p><p>Every application/program that I have created a profile for with the size/location info works perfectly and so did FF v88. But FF v89 is refusing point blank to be told where I want it. Even doing a refresh of FF by nuking the profile folder from (C:\Users\&lt;user name&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles) will not resolve the behavior.  </p><p>The only 'sorta' workaround from my side is to run the monitor in dual-screen mode (2x 1720*1440), and at this point FF v89 will only behave itself for the first launch of the browser. If I launch additional FF v89 windows, the same bloody off to the right and up behavior is back. </p><p>And secondly even setting the shortcut to always launch FF v89 as maximized does not work, FF v89 again refuses to behave and does wtf it wants to do. </p><p>So if resetting FF completely does not fix the issue, this suggests an issue with FF v89 or a comparability issue between it and Windows 10 20h2 </p>

<p>Since the last update, my browser home page shortcuts have become a single big letter instead of the old icon style picture. This new update has made it too confusing to find which shortcut I need. I cant even enlarge the font size under this new stupid shortcut icon. I will happily go back to my old browser if this crap cant be changed. Why do we have to have what they want us to have instead of what we want in a browser? I really wish all companies would stop forcing their own ideas on us, most of it is pathetic childest rubbish. </p>

<p>When I sync bookmarks, I get a copy of all bookmarks on both my android and my desktop. They are separated with each in their own folder: "mobile bookmarks" and "desktop bookmarks". So far so good. </p><p>But: the desktop folder always seems to show at the top. On my phone, I don't usually want to interact with those bookmarks, so I have to scroll past them. When adding or loading a bookmark, I just have to scroll past the top level entry, but it I want to edit the folder a bookmark is in, all folders are expanded, so I have to scroll past every subfolder on my desktop. </p><p>I think there could be at least four potential solutions for this, but everything I've found says that none of them work. 1. Default local folders to the top 2. Allow reordering of folders on Android Firefox 3. Allow minimising folders in the "edit bookmark" interface. (Or start with all folders minimised except the current path.) 4. Allow syncing in one direction only. (I don't actually need my desktop bookmarks on my phone, but I do want my phone bookmarks on my desktop.) </p>

Beispiel: ich habe letztens, nach dem Wochenende, meinen Email-Account geöffnet und hatte 61 neue Nachrichten. Ich habe eine wichtige Nachricht geöffnet und sie direkt beantwortet. nachdem ich wieder zurück zum Posteingang bin waren alle anderen ungelesenen Nachrichten verschwunden...der Posteingang war auf 0. Dieses Problem tritt mittlerweile jedes Mal auf. Somit sind alle Nachrichten seit den letzten Wochen für mich nicht einsehbar. Bitte helfen sie mir diese Problem zu beheben. Ich habe natürlich zusätzlich das Problem das wenn ich nun eine Email vom Support erhalte diese ebenfalls wieder gelöscht werden könnte bevor ich sie öffnen kann.

Vi mando uno screen così mi faccio capire meglio...:-) </p><p>Vi è qualche soluzione che non sia lo scaricamento ti temi non Mozilla? </p><p>Grazie a tutti </p>

<p>Hello Firefox people, I noticed that before the last upgrade to the browser, my Firefox Color was working fine. Then it stopped altogether. Now it will load up, but there are no colors in the area where there was before the upgrade. I am on Windows 7. Is there a better version to use with the extension? An older one maybe that isn't too terribly old, or is that not a good idea? I made some themes I want to send out--about 15 of them! Is there an other way to give away my art forFirefox Color--posting it somewhere, or another" loading zone"? Thank you for your time and help. It is getting frustrating that it keeps refusing to load up completely. I love playing with the colors. Have a good day. Sincerely, VJ Smith </p>

<p>I had previously set  ui.systemUsesDarkTheme = 0  to make internal pages light. Apparently, this preference has been removed in the current update and continuing to use it directly reflects on the System Theme extension. Simply select the "Trash Can" and remove it. Hope this helps. </p>

<p>pretty much what the subject title says. this issue started about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I tried to launch firefox in Troubleshoot Mode and browsing around youtube still puts my SSD on 100% disk usage. the disk stays at 100% for a good minute then it calms down until I click on something on youtube. I'm just trying to play videogames while listening to music in the background. but when the new video loads up on my playlist, my disk usage goes to 100 and my game lags.  </p><p><strong>BUT</strong> when I browse around youtube in "Private Browsing" mode in firefox, my disk usage doesn't spike up to 100%. it just goes up to 8% and goes back down.  </p><p>now I'm forced to use Google Chrome because my disk usage doesn't act up when I browse around youtube.. I miss firefox. :'( </p>

<p>I use a monitor that is at some distance from me, to avoid eyestrain because I have vision problems. This is fine for web pages, documents, etc. because I can vary the text size as needed. Since the new update, I can't read the text on my bookmarks, menu, toolbars, tabs, etc. I don't know if they've made the text smaller or if it's a result of the amount of space added around everything, but I could swear the text is much smaller. Either way, this is unusable for me. Is there a way I can increase the text size? If not, I'm going to have to find a way to reinstall the old version or switch to another browser.  </p><p>Sorry if the answer to this question is obvious with a bit of searching, but you know... I can't see anything. It's very frustrating. </p>

At times if I reload the page it will load the full page, most of the time it just repeats the same behavior. </p><p>This happens on two similar Windows 7 systems (fully updated) with an always up to date version of Firefox (currently 89.0).  When this happens I usually switch to Microsoft Edge and it loads fine every time. </p><p>Does anyone else experience this?  If so, did you find a solution? </p><p>I am not sure if this might be a Firefox problem, a Google problem, or my problem, but I am starting here first. </p>

<p>New installation on Win10, all drivers and everything up to date on a powerful Lenovo laptop. The side buttons on the right don't all work either, Settings for instance gives me nothing. Don't know why it's gone like this, it worked fine for a few days and after some general housekeeping (getting rid of One Drive and other low level stuff) it just is a white screen with the status bar bottom left showing your page choice looking like it's about to load but it never does, no error message nothing. i've tried re installation 3 times and refreshed firefox repeatedly btwn installation, all the same nothing. I tried Safe mode as well to see if there was some graphic issue as the laptop has good graphics power but no change. Would like to get my profile and passwords and favourites working again soon hopefully. Can anyone help? </p>

But I understand you are going to get rid of that ability in the about:config file.  </p><p>Why do you tweak a decent UI into an unusable one? This is becoming an epidemic.

<p>I want to use a different account linked to my Firefox. All data i used at first account is partially obsolete. At the same time i want to keep the data for just in case moments. When i use another account address, Firefox asks for my primary account. I just want to make a new account. Why i need the primary and also a verification at another device. At first i did manage and got a second sync account, but then Firefox started to combine those 2 accounts. More bookmarks. twice bookmark Firefox. I just want to start from scratch (without losing the data i already got). Firefox behaves likes Google or Facebook it follows you where ever you go, keeps tracks on you.

<p>This latest update from Firefox is awful in my opinion. The tabs are ugly and blocky and too big and everything is spaced weirdly. The right-click menu is far bigger than it needs to be.

<p>Currently on v88.0.1 on Windows 7 desktop, Windows 10 Laptop and Mac OSX Sierra. Looked at a review with screenshots of v89 and noticed a few issues. Where did the 'Customize Toolbar..." option go? It also appears the the 'Compact View' for tabs is being moved/phased out? that would not be ideal on a small screen. Being able to customize my view is one of the main selling points for Firefox. On Windows 10 HP laptop we still put up with occasional audio getting killed in Firefox (Edge never does this) and having to play a wave file in Groove Music to get the sounds back. </p>
