I'm using this shortcut all the time and I recently found out it doesn't work as expected. From the Firefox documentation the ctrl+shift+t should re-open the latest closed tab, but this is not the case for me, it always re-open the latest closed window. Which behave exactly as ctrl+shift+n.
From my short research it's not possible to customize Firefox shortcuts without using an extensions, therefore I also don't know how to verify if the shortcuts have changed just form my browser/configuration.

The problem I encounter has happened since I begin to use Firefox on Windows 11. The same problem happened to my Macbook as well, but a workaround is available. While with Windows 11, I can't find the solution anywhere on the web. Whenever I type on the browser, if I write a non-character notation right behind the word (like "this,"), the word would usually auto delete itself or sometimes, the word clone itself out (e.g, wordword, thisthi, etc.) or it deletes a small section of words right behind that non-char. I don't have insert turning on. I am quite uncertain whether you can reproduce this error on your laptop (for me, I have been through 2 windows 11 laptop and this error still persist). This error seems to only occurs for Vietnamese (Telex and VNI) default keyboard from Microsoft, Russian and English work fine. I suspect that it is caused by Microsoft Vietnamese, but I have unchecked all kind of spelling checking on settings. So should I use a third-party Vietnamese language typing for this situation or does it caused by something else?

Is there any Add-on that will shoot a scrolling screenshot (full page screenshot)?
For reference, there's an excellent extension on Chrome/Brave called "Go full screen" which has simple but perfect functionality, one-click automation, saves as either .pdf or .png format to your downloads folder.

I'm visually impaired and had originally used a CSS code to fix this problem, but that was a couple of years ago. I just upgraded to 131.0.3 (64 bit) and evidently, that wiped out all my CSS changes. I tried to use the about:config code to change it, but it no longer works. I managed to increase the icon size a little by changing the density to normal, then back to compact. Even on normal, it was all too small.
I don't want to use another profile, because every time I do, I lose so much that it takes me hours to reinstall it all.
Is there an easier way to do this? I've tried a couple of things suggested online, but they were old settings suggestions, and they no longer work either.
ALSO, I now have to use F11 full screen to be able to perform anything on the toolbars. Before this update, I could just move my cursor up to bring the toolbars down, and use the back arrow or refresh easily. Now, the toolbars immediately go back up and I have to use F11 to do anything. How do I fix this?
TIA for any help you can give me.

I have a Dropbox Paper document that I use for my bookmarks. It lists the name of the site (with link attached) and hints as to my username/password for any given site I use.
For years, it has worked just fine, but trying to solve a different problem, something happened (in my settings?) that renders those hyperlinks non-working. When I click on, say Facebook, it formerly took me right to FB. NOW it gives me a weird yellow box in the upper right corner that says "about:blank" in the upper left of the box, and 3 white boxes at the lower right of the yellow box "Allow" "Deny" "Close." If I click on "Allow," I get a blank page. My navigation doesn't seem to recognize the links I've placed in the Doc.
A friend on FB posted a link to a YouTube video and when I clicked on that, I got the yellow box with the proper URL and a white box option to continue. I've tried to recreate that particular box, but, apparently, once it's accepted, it's OK from there on out.
I have tried deleting the link from the Paper Doc and reinstating it, and I still get the yellow box.
What have I done and how the heck do I get rid of that yellow box?

When I startup FireFox, it takes ~15 seconds to show me an page. After loading, it works normal and loads pages within a second, until I completely close the browser, and then the first page again takes ~15 seconds. I've been having this issue for the past few months.
- I tried disabling all my addons - Launched FireFox in troubleshoot mode - Deleted everything in DataReporting\Archived folder - Cleaned out History/Cookies and site data/Temporary cached files and pages - Tried both Default and Max protection for DNS over HTTPS - FireFox is allowed in Windows Defender firewall - Tried setting 'browser.cache.disk.enable' to FALSE - Tried changing 'Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows' to 'Don’t enable HTTPS-Only Mode' - Windows and FireFox are up-to-date
None of the above saw any improvement in loading time.

There are 4 toolbars at the top of the Firefox screen. The default order from top to bottom seems to be:
Menu bar Tabs bar Navigation bar Bookmarks bar (which Firefox apparently calls "PersonalToolbar")
I would like to move the Bookmarks bar above the Tabs bar so the order is;
Menu bar Bookmarks bar Tabs bar Navigation bar
I tried to use ChatGPT to accomplish this. After well over 6 iterations, I gave up (ChatGPT was still going strong - hallucinating?). The only code in userChrome.css that accomplished this is shown below. Unfortunately it leaves the order as:
Bookmarks Navigation Menu Tabs
Can a human expert help me where ChatGPT failed? ___________________

On certain websites, I see that the background color of the new tab page replaces the default background color making the content unreadable, example:
If I browser this website: https://typespec.io/docs
Here's what I see (see the firsrt attached screenshot). Now, if I open the same URL in Private browsing, the background color changes too (see the second screeenshot). In the 3rd screenshot I'm adding the reference rendering, that's how I expect this website to render (Edge).
In the screenshot 1 and 2, the background color is exactly the same as the one used by the new tab page when I open a new tab.
Questions: 1) Why is that? 2) Can I change that?

I recently updated to Firefox 131.0.3, having signed out of my Firefox/Mozilla account. Now I am trying to sign back in. After a seemingly successful sign-in (with email and pw, followed by "authorization code"), I'm taken to my account page. Scrolling down to Connected Services, I can see a recognizable account name (my Windows 11 user name and the name I've assigned to my computer). But looking up at the account button at the top right of Firefox, I see a small yellow triangle. Clicking on the button, I'm told "Account disconnected." (Remember, I'm currently looking at my account page, which says I'm connected.)
So I try to log in again. I give email address and password, and authorization code, and I'm in again. Now I see an addtional account connected, "Firefox 131, Windows 10" (remember, I'm using Windows 11).
So looking up again to the upper right at the account button, I see the yellow triangle, and clicking tells me once more that I'm disconnected, even though I have my account page open in front of me.
All of this, of course, prevents me from having access to the sync function. I've been through this circle several times with the same strange results.
Anyone have any idea what' going on.
Screenshot attached.
Thanks! Lance
