I was using DuckDuckGo and it failed a connection, now trying to switch to Firefox as my browser. I still get confused about browsers and search engines, but I want to be able to connect to a website that did not function with DuckDuckGo, all of a sudden and for no reason I could figure out. I have Microsoft 365 Windows 11 (I think) on 1 laptop and Windows 10 on another laptop; I am trying to use the newer laptop with Windows 11 but not totally switched over.

How do I change the height dimension of my toolbars?

My toolbars are too wide in height, taking up 1/3 - 1/2 of my screen, and the pop-ups narrow my screen in height to where I can only read one or two lines of text at a time. (I am sure that using larger fonts is part of the problem. But my old eyes prefer a font size of 14 and above.)

I followed [article] ten realised that at the top it recommends not using quick time so uninstalled it,

however, after uninstalling quicktime, the browser plugin did not appear so it would not have worked anyway.

What solutions are there to this?

when accessing my voicemails for work, I need to access their online storage and listen from there. I used to use chrome and there were no issues. now, using firefox, I am being told to install Quicktime My understanding is that chrome uses NPAPI plugin. is there something similar on firefox?

Firefox is not working with Rabby Wallet and Metamask extensions.

Dear Sir,

Firefox is not working with Rabby Wallet and Metamask extensions.

It does no pop-up the window to see the transaction and sign it. Firefox 134.0.1 (64-bit). Windows 10 Home.

On Metamask at least I can click on the pinned extension and see the window. However it´s not the expected behavior, because it should open the pop-up automatically. With Rabby wallet it is impossible to proceed, even clicking on the extension icon.

Please fix it.

On ubuntu oracular 24.10, when firefox is launched, it tries to open a UDP listening port on all network interfaces which is not acceptable on many levels:

/usr/bin/netstat -tunpevaW|grep firefox udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:48654 0.0.0.0:* 1000 881247 178766/firefox

Is this behavior specific to Ubuntu or is it implemented by design? This must be a no go by design: if it needs a UDP port for some reason, it has to open it on the **loopback interface (127.0.0.1)** only.
