How to disable the "Firefox for your spartphone and tablet" promotion page?

Firefox gets updates frequently and that's good. But with every update an extra tab is opened like this one: https://www.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/131.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=130.0.1&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_source=update&utm_campaign=131

How can I tell Firefox that I know how to find it in those app stores if I was using any of them? Or that I know how to find anything that I need on the Internet?

Why this aggressive promotion? What is the business model behind those free apps?

So recently while watching videos on YT I've noticed that the video element itself seems to be overfilling its container and I get this effect : https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-10-25-20-39-55-c7e188.png

Conversely if I open up the Inspect element tool I get this view: https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-10-25-20-38-11-6c599e.png

So it looks like the video element itself is spilling outside the bounds. I've tried changing the zoom ratio to no avail. I've also tried viewing with and without VPN enabled both with and without Ublock and none of those seem to have any effect. I've also tried changing my desktop resolution size and that doesn't work either. Any ideas would be appreciated.

How to shrink this vertical space? (see attached image)

Ever since 131.0.0 my shortcut icons got all messed up so I am trying to restore the original look. I've already removed the giant Firefox logo and made my icons larger. Now I need to condense them so I don't have to scroll to see them all.

Here's what I have so far in my userContent.css:

/* Minimize the size of the logo and wordmark on the Home/New Tab pages */ @-moz-document url(about:newtab), url(about:home) {

 .logo {
   background-size: 0px !important;
   height: 0px !important;
   width: 0px !important;
 }
 .wordmark {
   background-size: 0px !important;
   height: 0px !important;
   width: 0px !important;
   margin-inline-start: 0px !important;
 }
 /* Expand the shortcut icon images to max size on the Home/New Tab pages */
 .top-site-outer .tile .icon-wrapper {height:100% !important; width:100% !important;}

}

I have a local webpage on my home network (Raspberry Pi) that I load all the time on my mac laptop using Safari and/or Firefox.

When opening this local webpage earlier this week in Firefox, some message came up which I didn't read and blindly clicked OK. Now the local page will not load ("We can’t connect to the server at webpage.local.").

I does still load in safari. And it does load using FireFox on my iphone (I use SYNC). So I somehow messed up my desktop firefox.

Searched online and have tried all sorts of things with no success (refresh Firefox, re-install, clear cache, etc).

Any suggestions on fixing this would be appreciated.

I use Internet Bill Pay through my bank, and it has always worked correctly with Firefox. I have enhanced tracking protection turned off for the site secureinternetbank.com and I have cookies authorized in my exceptions list. Today I got this message:

Why can't I access Bill Pay?

Bank says it hasn't changed anything, and no tweaks I tried on privacy settings fixed it. I believe it's an issue with the new version. Can you tell me how to fix it or let me know when Firefox will fix it? The site works fine in Microsoft Edge, but I'd like to avoid using Edge.

Thanks.

After years of working without an issue, now whenever I open Firefox only some of the windows that were open when I shut down can be re-opened. Others are still listed in the "Window" menu, but clicking on them results in nothing. I also cannot delete them.

Help?

I am currently using Firefox v132.0 on a 2024 MacBoook Pro running Sonoma 14.6.

Thanks!

The last time this happened, I had to delete and reinstall my security software. After that, I did not download another Firefox update for fear it would happen again. Apparently, the latest update was installed without notifying me, and now it's happening again. Are you ever going to fix this problem? I should not have to reinstall my security software every time you issue an update!
