Why oh why is there a necessity for this stupid new sidebar? Every time there is something new, it just takes ages to find a way of getting rid of it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!! martyngs

How do I remove the sidebar permanently. It is now as I said above about 2.5cm wide and growing! I want it gone and none of the solutions give any idea how to do this. The show/hide button only made the damn thing expand!

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 am so frustrated. Although I'm relatively computer literate, I cannot find a way to stop that sidebar from opening up on Firefox Browser 133.0. I'm using Windows 11 Pro. I can find no button that allows me to either delete it or prevent it from opening. For heavens sake, not everyone wants all this stuff. I just want a great browser with minimal things to have to deal with. It is irritating to have to deal with this when there appears to be no simple solution to get rid of it. I do not feel comfortable with having to try to delete a profile element. Just give me the button to say I don't want it showing up when I open Firefox on my computer. It can't be that difficult. I use the menu bar at the top of the page to deal with bookmarks. I don't need a sidebar. Give me the option to get rid of it. It will always be there to hit the button on again if I choose to but I know I never will. It interferes with my page. If it isn't fixing something that is broken, and you want to try new things, fine. But give me the option to delete it from my experience.

Dear folks , Every time I click on Firefox for web search , Fragilepottery.com comes up , I simply cannot find a way to delete Fragilepottery , should I uninstall Firefox and install Firefox again ?

Can you add an option to have the menu bar on top instead of the bottom? I rather have it on top like it used to be, so I would like for there to at least be an option to change it.

When open Google Drive using Firefox, I cannot click on any documents. I can open folders but the documents in these folders I cannot open. I can open Google Docs and then access documents but all documents through Google Drive including in the Shared Folder are greyed out and when I click on any of these I get the pop up "This file cannot be opened because you're offline." I can access Google Drive and its documents using Chrome. I would prefer to use Firefox.

I have updated Firefox, cleared the history, and emptied cache and cookies. I also logged out of and then back into my gmail account.

The image shows what the drive looks like when opened in Firefox.

Hello i used firefox from as long as i can remember i mean so long there was no acoubt as such always loved Firefox but its turned to crap, and i have to admite its due to WINDOWS shit bags, they force an update then it ether goes so slow wont allow restart at normal update, then same problem every single time it fails the firevox system so then have to re download firefox but it will only allow it if i access it through windows so they have all the data off firefox to windows, so i then have to recovery to windows and remove all data off it. then reinstall firefox again it works fine i just sign in to firefox seperate from windows then after a few months it starts again then try and use firefox again but yet asks me auto in stall from my data from firefox and to windows again then if i refuse to it crashes firefox every single time. GET YOURSELF SEPERATED FROM WINDOWS.... THEY ARE SCUM download the ap and log in to firefox simple as block windows from stealing my shit i love firefox fix it or im out ive been with firefox way over 20 years wow even over 30 years over i think....

After yesterday's update, I'm not able to access files in Google Drive using Firefox on Windows. They're greyed out, and when I try to open one, a pop up informs me "This file can't be opened because you're offline." I'm certainly online, and it works on Chrome (ugh). Anyone else experiencing this?

I have been using Firefox for my browser and have an account. Yesterday I clicked on the Firefox icon on my taskbar and it just opened with a blank screen. I need all of the information stored on my Firefox account. WHAT HAPPENED?? IT WILL NOT OPEN TO FIREFOX!!

I updated my desktop browser today and now there is an expandable sidebar at the left margin of the window showing tool icons for Tabs from other devices, History and Customize sidebar. I can see how to remove tool icons and how to expand or collapse sidebar but can I remove the sidebar completely? Is this an option? I prefer the old look with the browser web page content extending all the way to the left of the screen, without the narrow vertical sidebar.

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!

Update: So the code in the solution has worked it did put my tabs back on the bottom but I just noticed it also had a side effect where the + icon for a new tab is now missing. Using the code in the solution is there any way to readd the new tab + icon?

Weird part is if I go into customize the + icon is showing in the tabs bar but hen I close customize the icon disappears I have tried removing it and adding it back but it still gets removed.
