Hi!

Very satisfied new Firefox user here :)

I've just noticed that from my Windows 11 Firefox 132's Account menu, I can close tabs open on my other computers via the sync feature. However, the X button that lets me close the tabs only seem to appear next to tabs open on my other computers that also run Firefox 132, while my computers that run the 128 ESR version don't show the X button next to their open tabs.

Is this because the close synced tabs feature was implemented after version 128, or is it blocked for some reason due to the nature of the ESR version? Or am I just doing something wrong with the sync settings on my ESR versions?

I've tried searching the help section and looking up the release notes to try to figure it out, but all attempts failed to find the reason and a fix :(

Thanks!

Today, my Firefox updated to version 133. I had the Tab Bar below the Address Bar and under the Bookmarks Toolbar - configured via userChrome.css. After the update, my Tab Bar is above the Address Bar. Could you please advise what changes I need to make in userChrome.css to place the Tab Bar below the Bookmarks Toolbar? Thank you.

Hello, Why is there no option to remove this anywhere? I checked in the normal settings too. I both browsed and searched for it.

This looks so stupid and distracting.

The extension developers claim that the issue is with Firefox and deny no fault whatsoever.

Bonjour, Depuis quelques jours lorsque s'affiche les résultats pour une recherche, je me trouve toujours avec une dizaines de résultats faisant l'objet de publicités. Je dois scroller jusqu'en milieu de page pour obtenir des sujets de réponses qui correspondent à ma requête. Ce comportement semble être récent peut être du à une mise à jour du navigateur? Ou bien à un paramètre que j'ai modifié par inadvertance? Si vous savez la cause de ce comportement, je serai ravi d'en connaitre la solution. Merci pour l'aide.

Hello, For the past few days, when the results for a search are displayed, I always find myself with dozens of results with advertisements. I have to scroll all the way to the middle of the page to get the results that match my query. This behavior seems to be recent, perhaps due to a browser update? Or a parameter I've inadvertently changed? If you know the cause of this behavior, I'd love to know the solution. Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone,

Prior to the release of Firefox Desktop 133.0, which I believe came out today on 11/26, I was using the profile switcher that was in the Firefox application menu. I had all my profiles created in about:profiles and I had browser.profiles.enabled set to true. This allowed me to easily switch between profiles by pressing the hamburger button in the top right. However, it is no longer appears for me after the latest Firefox update. I'm not exactly sure if I'm missing something, or if this was intended as I know the profile switcher was a work in progress feature.

This reddit post shows what the feature looked like. I will also attach the images.

If anyone would know why this no longer appears to be working, or how to fix it I would greatly appreciate it. I know I can just use about:profiles or some other alternative, but I found this to be the most convenient.

hello, i am having trouble fixing the context menu. im assuming the browser updated today and something broke because the context menu is now larger than my screen and 90% of the buttons are non functional. how do i get it back to how it was previously. there are at least 5 different buttons for "cut, copy, paste" and options for things ive never seen before like "reveal password, copy phone number" and options that look like they only work on videos like "speed and loop" and theyre on every site i right click on. how do i get rid of all the excess choices and revert it back to normal

Hi,

I am disabled and in a wheelchair. I have a Dell Inspiron 7591 2-in-1 laptop as a communication device to speak. Since my hands don't work, I have to use head switches in order to operate my device. I downloaded and installed the latest version Firefox (version 132.0.2 (64-bit)) via Microsoft Store on my laptop running Windows 10 Home. I have a Jabber/XMPP account to communicate with my family members and friends. In order to mount my laptop to my wheelchair, my laptop has to be in tent mode (upside down, but my screen automatically rotates to the proper orientation.) When I go to mov.im in the Firefox browser and video call someone, I appear upside-down on their end. I also visited https://webcamtests.com/ in Firefox and I appeared upside-down on my screen. However when I use other programs (eg: the camera app in Windows, Google Chrome, etc.), it recognizes my laptop is in tent mode so those programs automatically adjust my camera orientation. I would like my Firefox browser to recognize that my laptop is in tent mode and automatically rotate my camera to the proper orientation. Is this possible? If not, I would like to make this a feature request please?

Thank you

I do not want companies to hold my hand and secretly micro mange my browsing. How do I turn off Total Cookie Protection completely. I am blocked on some sites even if click on the Shield and turn off Total Cookie Protection.

I was excited to see that Firefox had support for Canadian English, however the dictionary seems to be missing numerous words and I get spelling errors for words like "lasagna."

Is this a bug or is the dictionary just barely populated with words and missing a tremendous amount?

Well looks like they did it to us again. My tabs are back on top again and need to put them below where I am a lot of other users like our tabs!

Below is my current coding if anyone knows how to adjust it to force the tabs to the bottom again would be much appreciated!!

Current version I am running of FF is 133.0

I have the setting browser.search.openinnewtab and also browser.urlbar.openintab both set to true, but when I type a search into either the address bar or the search bar next to it, instead of opening a new tab, it puts that search into an already-open blank tab, if one is already open.

I often use blank tabs to separate my currently open tabs into groups by topic and whatnot, so it's incredibly annoying when the search bar takes over one of my adhoc 'separators' instead of opening a new tab like I want it to.

Is there a setting to force the search bar to always open a brand new tab, even if 'new tabs' are already open??

I never feel like webpages scale properly when I visit them. There is always content left off screen or I have to zoom out so much that the text is too small to read. Is there a setting I can change to affect this?

This webpage is particularly egregious: https://www.desktopmetal.com/products/shop

My Firefox Nightly version is: 135.0a1 (2024-11-26) (aarch64). My computer is a: MacBook Air (15-inch, M2, 2023) running macOS Sequoia (Version 15.1). I have been having these issues for a long time regardless of computer.

I have attached a picture of the labs settings I have enabled but I cannot see why any of them would affect this.
