Bookmarks bar blocks screen

[charscot]

Since updating to ff 109.0 I have a display issue with my bookmarks bar.

I have code in userchrome to have my bookmarks bar at the bottom of the screen. This bar is now actively hiding whatever should be at the bottom of the screen.

If it is a webpage that fits the page the bottom is hidden and cannot be scrolled to as the browser acts as if the bottom bit is visible (ie as if the bar is not there) and does not offer the option to scroll down.

If I say download anything the download no longer shows above the bookmarks bar (ie at the bottom of the old style page) and is completely hidden so I have no way of seeing downloads complete on the main screen.

Does anyone know of any coding or similar to fix this as until 109.0 this was never a problem (really beginning to think I should just stop updating ff as just when I think all is ok some new weird issue pops up via an update).

Thanks

Anyone got any ideas ? This is having other knock on effects with the browser not recognising the bottom of the page so for example copying individual text from a page is proving a hassle too.

If not, can someone point out what I am doing wrong in terms of rolling back to ff 108 ? In the past rolling back was a case of copying the profile etc but now I get a message about the profile not being suitable due to being from a different later version. Hoping there is just an entry in the coding I ned to remove to get my profile to be backwards compatible still ?

Thanks

Suggestion:

Go to Start > Run
Enter Firefox -p
Create a new profile ~ testprof
Start that profile

Go to the url bar of that running instance
Enter about:support
Scroll down about 10 lines to the profile folder and open the profile folder

Create a chrome directory
Open that newly created directory
Right click in the chrome directory area and create a new text document
Name the file userChrome.css
Open the file
Paste the code from your daily userChrome.css file with the code to display the bookmarks toolbar at the bottom
Save the file

Enter in the url bar:
about:config
Accept the warning
set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true

Restart that profile and see if the problem still exists

Thanks, yep sadly the problem still exists.

Can you post the code used to move the bookmarks bar to the bottom?

[charscot]

}

move bookmarks toolbar to bottom + style bookmarks toolbar
#main-window:not([chromehidden*="toolbar"]) #navigator-toolbox > #PersonalToolbar {
-moz-window-dragging: no-drag;
display: flex !important;
position: fixed !important;
bottom: 0 !important;
width: 100% !important;
height: var(--addonbar_height) !important;
-moz-padding-start: 2px !important;
-moz-padding-end: 2px !important;
border-top: 1px solid var(--toolbox-border-bottom-color) !important;
z-index: 1000 !important;
}

You need to comment out the first line and don't include the first parenthesis } :

/* move bookmarks toolbar to bottom + style bookmarks toolbar */

[charscot]

Sorry, it appears I have the code more than once as I have found this later in the file (I accidentally added a line of previous code too hence the extra parenthesis) -

/* move bookmarks toolbar to bottom + style bookmarks toolbar */
#main-window:not([chromehidden*="toolbar"]) #navigator-toolbox > #PersonalToolbar {
-moz-window-dragging: no-drag;
display: flex !important;
position: fixed !important;
bottom: 0 !important;
width: 100% !important;
height: var(--addonbar_height) !important;
-moz-padding-start: 2px !important;
-moz-padding-end: 2px !important;
border-top: 1px solid var(--toolbox-border-bottom-color) !important;
z-index: 1000 !important;
}

Sorry about that, it's a large text file and frankly a bit messy but all was fine with ff until the latest update.

This may seem a back step but replace this line at the head of the file.

Code: Select all

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

After go into about:config and type xul in the search text entry.
Enable (set to true)
accessibility.tabfocus_applies_to_xul
and
xul.panel-animations.enabled

Also check :
extensions.webextensions.userScripts.enabled (should be true)
toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets (also true)

Thanks

The keymaster bit is already on the sheet a lot earlier by the top

Have changed tabfocus setting to true

xul.panel entry isn't there

The last two were already set to true.

No change. The bar is still at the bottom as the code intends, just that it is covering some of site's screen.

You probably need to reserve space for the toolbar at the bottom.

Code: Select all

#browser #appcontent {margin-bottom: var(--addonbar_height) !important;}

Thank you !! That appears to have done the trick.

Thank you so much as always
