I use Firefox to manage an online course. For some parts, I want to zoom in to see detailed diagrams etc. In other parts, I want to see at a glance a simple list of submissions. So I have 2 windows (with their relevant tabs) open. But when I zoom into the first, the other window zooms in, so I lose most of the listing. How do I set the zoom differently in the two windows?

I like the Firefox home page. Except for one small issue. That is Shortcuts. If checked it defaults to "sites you save or visit". It is a pain in the A$$ to clear away visited sites. I would prefer to have the option to keep saved sites and not keep visited sites. Can Firefox please seperate saved and visited. In another words make it an option to keep visited sites.

On Win 11, FF keeps opening a few pixels to the right of the screen when I want it to stay as far left as possible

I am using Win 11, Microsoft Powertoys > Fancy Zones to manage the screen space on my 5120 x 1440 monitor. I also have System > Display > Multiple Displayers "Remember window locations based on monitor connection" enabled.

Any program I have besides FF will load up exactly where I had it last. FF shifts I am guessing 8 pixels to the right (or left, as this occurs if I close FF on the right side of the monitor.) If you look at the screenshots, the "opened at default" picture shows what FF looks like when I open it. You can see the xulstore.json file shows the screenX position is -8. If I manually type in 0, close out FF and reopen it, it will still shift back to the right a bit even with the .json still saying 0

How do I do one less thing when I turn the pc on and have FF open exactly as far left as possible instead of shifting over to the right?

why are my familiar websites suddenly asking for text or email verification?

Over the last week or so my personal websites (such as Banking, Amazon, Facebook, etc.) suddenly started asking for (text or email) verification to sign in successfully. This only happens after a restart. (Sometimes I run a 'restart to untangle some glitch - but some Windows updates do a restart automatically.) And I have to go through all the verification stuff again! VERY ANNOYING!! Some MS tech this morning had me uncheck Cookies and other data in the Privacy and security category. But that didn't help. I just did a restart and AGAIN my bank(s) websites asked for a texted CODE. So did Facebook, and Amazon. Once I complete the CODE requirement it stays good until the next restart. And when I went to change that "cookies" option was nowhere to be found (to change it back) In SETTINGS>PRIVACY & SECURITY - NOW shows just the green button and box that says "STANDARD". I don't want or need this annoying added verification on every site that I use daily. I don't know exactly how or when this started...(maybe about a week ago).

I've noticed of late that Firefox will not open .webp files in browser, instead automatically downloading without asking (I have the "Always ask you where to save files" option ticked). It then opens the photo in a new tab while leaving the now blank original image tab open with the URL from which it was downloaded. Under the applications section i have set webp images to "open in Firefox" rather than "save file" and would appreciate advice on resolving this issue.
