After an update, Firefox messed up my toolbar configuration. After resetting everything back to normal, just one thing doesn't want to stay where it's placed: the "new tab" button a.k.a. the "plus sign". I want the button to be to the right of my open tabs (screenshot no. 2) but after closing and opening Firefox again, the button simply jumps back to the left (screenshot no. 1). So I go to (Right Click) > "Customize Toolbar..." > (Drag the button to the right) and it works, only until I restart Firefox again. Is there anything I can do to make my changes stable?

(One more thing: there is this "List All Tabs" button, which can't be removed, how could I remove it?)

Firefox Version: Developer Edition; 132.0b3 (64-bit); aurora update channel

I recently reloaded my M1 MacBook Air with macOS Sequoia. Ever since doing so, Firefox opens the right-click menu every time I press Control+Return (like when attempting to autocomplete a URL ending in .com, a feature I use quite frequently). It is only in Firefox that this happens, no other browser or program is doing this. I have uninstalled Firefox using AppCleaner, downloaded a new copy of Firefox 131.0 and reinstalled without any change in this behavior. Any ideas on what I can do to stop this so Control+Return only autocompletes a URL again?

Hello, how can I remove or hide "List all tabs" btn?

Set "browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled" as "false" stopped working for me after update to version 131.0. Hiding the btn before version 131.0 was not a problem.

I saw in release notes that "List all tabs" got some changes. link

I am using Mozilla Firefox Developers Edition for Windows 11. Recently I have encountered a problem where my bookmarks are constantly disappearing from the panel and toolbar elements are changing places (like the arrows or the reload button).

I read the support and came across three articles about problems with this. The first two were xulstore and Places.sqlite files, which I deleted and followed the instructions in the article, reset the browser settings, but nothing happened. The third article was about the profile, I went in and saw that I had two profiles, which I deleted and created a new one, completely previously removed the browser from the device. But again, nothing happened.

I think this started when I started using the built-in Windows 11 workspace feature (multiple desktops, I opened two browsers at the same time). It was after this that my bookmarks and toolbar changed in the pre-login in the application.

I would appreciate help with this issue.

I miss being able to chose which language to translate to on a per-site basis AND the browser remember that setting. If you want to permanently translate to a specific language you have to change the preferred display language for all websites as I understand it. Actually it would suffice to be able to set a standard language to translate to, but independent of the preferred display language.

I know Firefox Translate is still Beta so perhaps this important enhancement is in the pipeline?

The latest version of Firefox (115) always launches at fullscreen size in linux. I rarely use any application at full screensize because I like to have other windows open on the desktop at the same time. Virtual desktops are not always convenient. I have tried using the -geometry option at the command line, which is usual honoured by applications running under X11, but this is ignored. Nor can I grab the bottom right-hand corner and drag it diagonally to resize it dynamically. Maybe there is a setting somewhere for initial size?

I had a background image for the new tab page that has suddenly stopped working, it just displays a white screen. I clicked the 'reset to default' button next to 'Wallpapers' on the new tab page to try to fix the problem but nothing happens. No wallpapers show up under that section either where it used to be when it was working. I've restarted Firefox and the same thing happens. I have not enabled any third party CSS wallpaper.

Apart from that, everything else is working as it should. I'm sort of a computer-idiot so if anyone could please use layman's terms it would be very much appreciated!

The other day I accidentally pressed a keystroke that changed a Firefox setting, and now it thinks I'm on a mobile device/displays sites in mobile view where possible by default. This has persisted despite restarts of the browser and the computer and has been happening since Sunday (Australian time). I've tried opening the Responsive Design dev tool and I've sent screenshots to a techsavvy friend (I'm totally blind and use a screen-reader, so couldn't tell this was happening until I tried to use a site that had a radically different layout in mobile view), and aside from not seeing an exit button or a switch to change device mode, he couldn't tell what was going on.

I'm stuck and need help! I would like to unmobile my Firefox!

I have encountered an issue very similar to the one described here: https://support.mozilla.org/mk/questions/1407928

Firefox (version 130.0.1 (64-bit)) is not playing audio through headphones. Have tried a number of sites - e.g. YouTube, internet radio stations, news sites.

However, unlike in the above-mentioned support article, the Windows App Volume and Device Preferences settings are set to default.

I have since also tried restarting my PC (Windows 10 ; Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.4651) and resetting the App Volume and Device Preferences to the Microsoft default settings (see Image attached).

I also tested and audio plays fine through Chrome browser, VLC media player, Teams and Edge.

Would love to find a solution! Thanks D

I cannot seem to find what it is called, but only web design related stuff to scrolling.

I'm looking to change the behavior of scrolling bar, that lets me click a point and the page stops at that point, whereas right now, it keeps scrolling to the end/top of the page (based on the direction relative to the starting point). I find the behavior pretty annoying and something that used to be done by the buttons on either end point.

Is this a relic of the past or can i opt-in to it through the config
