I, like every other US American I know, need my week to start on Monday and keep the weekend together (who wants their weekends split into two different weeks?) To do this I've had to select UK English as my language in Firefox and OS. Unfortunately, this also changes currency to pounds sterling. How can I get Monday start with USD? I especially need this on my Android work tablet.

playing video on YouTube is always choppy and buffering quite a bit and the only thing that my router / modem is connected to only the smart TV by way of hardwired cat6e connection I could understand if this was wirelessly connected but it is hardwired and there is nothing else connected to the router by Wireless and I am getting anywhere between 100 and 155 megabytes per second so I know that the speed is fine and the only thing it does it to is YouTube and even if I adjust the YouTube screen quality from 2180 down to 1440 down to 1080 and then down to 720 P and sometimes it works on 720 but most of the to 480p and then the quality looks like crap and I actually get better quality when I use my cell phone mobile hotspot connected to the smart TV but that's ridiculous in price going way over my data so that's why I got Wi-Fi and it really doesn't matter whether I use the app on the phone of YouTube as a remote for the YouTube on the screen TV screen or whether I use the YouTube app that is embedded in the smart TV either way the connection are very poor and yeah I'm not really sure what to do I had the provider of the Wi-Fi come and do a test and make sure that it wasn't anything to do with the hardware wiring or anything like that and I also when I connect my laptop hardwired to the router everything and anything I stream on the laptop not using Wireless it works perfectly fine same with my cell phone connected by Wireless also works fine it's only seems to be the smart TV and I also tried somebody else's Smart TV see if it was a problem with mine and there's also did it so I know it is not a problem with my stuff

Today I started having a problem with Smartnews.com. When I click a news item link, it displays a barcode and asks to install the app on my phone. When I use Microsoft Edge, I do not have this problem - the article displays fine. Does anyone know what is going on with Smartnews.com? Thanks

Dear all,

recently I picked up Mozilla again and saw some weird website formatting for some sites. It sometimes only affect certain areas (see attached picture Bad Formatting Amazon, where one part got squished and dragged down very much) and sometimes it affects the whole website (please refer to the other two pictures, one showing the proper formatting and the other one a formatting, which occurs over time, when leaving the website open)

Can I change any settings to combat this? Looking forward to your input!

Thank you and best regards, David

Should LastPass still be recommended, or even listed?

Lastpass has had major data breaches in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, and two in 2022.

Today I got a recommendation to install LastPass. I was a bit surprised. LP (logmein, gotomypc) has a history of databreaches. I found reports in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, and two in 2022.

People without a lock on the door know they have no security. Putting on a lock that is not effective only gives people a false sense of security and may even increase the threat.

I love many of the add-ons. I know I can't rely on anyone to make sure they are all secure, but I hope such well-publicized problems will result in a review.

The billions lost and hundreds of hours spent by people each year with passwords in our fight with hackers is a true drain and a danger. Password programs have been the only way for individuals to survive. Their standards for security must be even higher than others. LastPass has not met the standard for a high level of security...or even a low level.]

LastPass has one reason for existing--keeping our passwords safe and secure. In the light of their failure, it's time to stop recommending them. It undermines the credibility of Mozilla and Firefox.

Suddenly today my browser had switched any current tab to the bottom of my window, but it also only lets me see one at a time..which means I can't see multiple tabs open unless I close the current one. My tab bar is gone entirely and was up-top as it's always been, just under the URL box.

I didn't hit any key combos that I know of that would cause this, and I can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem when I search for a solution. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?? It's very odd and annoying, I've never had it happen before now..

I took a screen-shot of the problem, showing what happens when I open a site or any tab:

Thank you very much for taking a look and any help with this strange issue,

-Chris

Is there a way that I can recover my New Tab page setup (just the new tab page) from a Macrium Reflect backup of my OS disk? I recently did some cleanup that cratered my FireFox profile (developer and beta also). I would like to somehow recover just the New Tab page setup from the os backup. Any solution? Thanks for your help.
