I updated to version 133 today and was confronted with the vertical tab bar. I did not ask for this or want it, and now I can't get rid of the side bar, in fact I seem to have just made it worse / wider. How can I get rid of this (and block it) It is just taling up space on my screen. Please help.

I know I can hide the sidebar by clicking the button on the toolbar. But I'm used to opening my bookmarks and history with ctrl+b and ctrl+h, and being able to close them the same way. This still works to close the actual bookmarks/history, but the sidebar doesn't return to being hidden (despite being hidden before I opened them), it hangs around taking up space on the left of my screen. Even after I removed everything so it's just a useless blank rectangle with "customise sidebar" at the bottom, it defaults to staying open unless I click the button. It's really annoying. Is there any way to make it hide itself again automatically once I'm done using it?

How do I turn this odd feature that dims FF bars when window loses focus? As of look of it only tabbar and toolbar are affected. I couldn't find anything relevant under "about:config". Also some tricks with CSS didn't work for me, maybe because I have custom chromeCSS that brings tabbar under bookmarksbar and applies other customization so that FF window looks like old good FF before they started to put everything on a single line in the bar. Thanks in advance.

Dear Mozilla Support Team,

I am working on configuring Microsoft Intune for organization and need to manage specific settings for Firefox via Custom CSP policies. However, I could not locate the necessary OMA-URI details for the following Firefox settings:

Advanced Options: Check my spelling as I type Advanced Options: Preference State Advanced Options: Use AutoScroll Advanced Options: Use Smooth Scrolling Disable XPI Installs These settings are crucial for maintaining compliance and ensuring a smooth user experience within our managed environments. Could you please provide:

1. The exact OMA-URI paths or equivalent policies for these settings? 2. Additional documentation or resources related to Firefox Enterprise policies for Intune?

I prefer the tabs be below the bookmark bar, and successfully modified the CSS file to do this some time back. Now update 133 has once again pushed them up below the menu bar. What do I have to do to get them back where I want them this time? And why can't you just leave the tab location preference alone when doing updates?

I cannot pin the extension to the toolbar. The extension is not shown in the puzzle icon dropdown, and it is not in the overflow. Please add an automatic pin to the toolbar when a new extension is added! How do I pin it now?

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.

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.

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 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?

Why do I keep getting pop-ups that 500% zoom in on the page with a message asking for me to clear cache? I have cleared my cache multiple times and restarted my computer many times as well, but it is still been a recurring problem for the past few days. It has been happening on every web page I visit, and even when there is no data to be cleared. Any information on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi, I want to know how to stop word prediction in text input boxes. I can't see the word I am typing with it in the way. I do my own spell checking and seeing the word I'm typing is required. I don't use any word prediction suggestions anyway. I am not so lazy or incompetent that I don't actually use my keyboard for typing and I absolutely have to see what I'm typing as I am doing so. I've looked all through the settings in Firefox settings and did a search to see if it was something Windows related and also did a search here which only came up with 1 result which was unrelated. Thanks for any help on this.

It certainly appears they have, with the left and right padding growing wider. In fact, they both look about twice the size of the top and bottom padding, whereas before I remember them as being about equal. The change was immediately apparent with my home page!

Any particular reason for this?
