did firefox 79.0 return to normal?
Greetings
OS: windows 10 pro
firefox: 77.0.1
Since last traumatic upgrade that eliminated my bookmarks toolbar, I refused to update.
Did ver.79 return to normal behaviour and let users stay with their bookmarks toolbar?
does firefox has an elegant solution to searching an html page (ctrl F) except using the bottom bar?
thank you

Re: did firefox 79.0 return to normal?
You can move the search bar to the top:
~/.mozilla/firefox/<user-profile>/chrome/userChrome.css
about:config
If you are looking for better stability, you should use ESR releases (Extended Support Release):
Firefox ESR (actually, from 79, choose 78.1.0esr).
~/.mozilla/firefox/<user-profile>/chrome/userChrome.css
Code: Select all
/* --- Find bar to the top --- */
.browserContainer > findbar { -moz-box-ordinal-group: 0; position: fixed !important; }
Code: Select all
toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets -> true
The difficulty is to define what "normal" is supposed to mean.zivshosh wrote: did firefox 79.0 return to normal?

Do you have a problem with showing the Bookmarks Toolbar ?
Maybe try to rename (or remove) xulstore.json in the profile folder.

To reset/refresh toolbars, I would advise to close Firefox, and delete this very long line in prefs.js in user profile.
Code: Select all
user_pref("browser.uiCustomization.state", "{ \"placements\":{..........[\"personal-bookmarks\"]....... [\"PersonalToolbar\"]... };

Diorser
thank you for your answers
1) I didn't find in my userprofile chrome, or did you mean that I should add it?
2) made the change to about:config and it didn't help. do I have to save it anywhere? after closing firefox and rechecking it was still true
3) ver, 78.1.0esr is above my current version 77.0.1 hence again I'll probably lose my bookmark toolbar (it turned to menu instead of a bar)
thanks again

Do you mean the items on your Bookmarks Toolbar no longer stay in the bar and show as a list that runs off the screen?zivshosh wrote:... I'll probably lose my bookmark toolbar (it turned to menu instead of a bar)
Do you use code in userChrome.css for a multi-row Bookmarks Toolbar?

'prefs.js' is not in the the chrome folder, but Firefox userprofile folder.

Re: did firefox 79.0 return to normal?
many thanks to Diorser for instructing me to change location of the find bar.
it is a tremendous help
I'm still in ver. 77.0.1
Is ver.83 is normal in the sense that it will keep my bookmarks toolbar?
(last update to 79 changed boomarks to a side bar and I'd like them to stay as they are now)

The Bookmarks Toolbar has not changed in Firefox 57-83: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/bookmark ... e-websites (last edited in October 2017).

thank you jscher2000
so probably what happened was added multi-row in userChrome.css like you guessed in an earlier reply
but than I didn't even have the chrome folder in user profile
will try again and report
