Taskbar icon does not indicate when new mail has arrived. Does not show a count of new/unread messages. 128.3.2 Windows 11

In settings "incoming mail" icon options I have chosen "show count of new emails" and "show a tray icon for unread messages is checked".

I am unable to tell at a glance if new email has arrived. I see from researching the KB I'm not the only to have this issue, but none of the settings seem to help.

The newest version of Firefox now has what seems to be a permanent sidebar on the left side of the screen. This is incredibly inconvenient as 1) I have no need for it or any of the AI stuff and 2) I'm using an older screen that is square and so now web pages are contorted when I view them.

Please remove this bar or let me know how to remove it myself.

Thank you.

On Windows 7, will installation of Firefox Setup 128.7.0esr cancel my settings?

I am a bit confused about how to keep updating FF on my Windows 7 PC, given that after March my current version (115.17.0esr) may not work as intended. Until now I've always updated manually by downloading a small 343KB installer file that updated FF without changing any of my settings, logins and bookmarks. Hoping to simplify updating, today I set updates to "Automatically install updates (recommended)" with sub-option "When Firefox is not running". But just now a FF notification informed me it was unable to update automatically and provided a link to https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/enterprise/?reason=manual-update. From the dropdown there I chose "Windows 64-bit" > "Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR)". The download is a 64MB file.

Since this seems to be a new installation and not a simple update, can I be sure it won't overwrite my current version and leave me without settings, logins and bookmarks?

Hello, how can I remove or hide "List all tabs" btn?

Set "browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled" as "false" stopped working for me after update to version 131.0. Hiding the btn before version 131.0 was not a problem.

I saw in release notes that "List all tabs" got some changes. link

Firefox android cannot access about:config page - no antimalware or such

Firefox Android on an older Sony Xperia Android Tab (2016) still receiving Firefox updates, would you believe it, cannot access about:config page -- and yes it's about:config I'm attempting to access. Firefox adress bar icon displays site warning and freezes the page load whatever setting i try in Firefox settings.

No antimalware or such nonsense used on the device, just as fake in protecting my privacy as (foreign) gov.-sponsored whitelabel antimalware and privacy search engines -- remembering the recent Bing API-blackout that displayed a Bing search engine error message in all of the so called's etc etc

I'm not logged in on the device, as in not syncing an access all home living room device in any way. I don't need a breadcrum trail of other users leading to my accounts.

So what am I after? I don't want a stored cache of recently visited pages that apparently hog the limited memory and I want to limit the amount of 'recently visited pages'-cache stored in Firefox on Android. I want Firefox to be *pristine (beyond the moniker settings available as 'clear all' at Firefox close) each time a user picks up the tab. So, there's one or two settings under about:config limiting the recently visited pages cache to the latest visited only after closing Firefox -- lowest setting available (?) is 0, but hey, that's life.

'The previous system was definitely more practical. Can it be reactivated?

Seems like the newest Firefox update (131.0) changed the way my Home Page (on the new tab) looks. WHY??

Now there's a giant logo taking up a fifth of the vertical space, forcing me to scroll to see my shortcut icons. WHY????

Oh, and the shortcut icons are now spaced farther apart and are significantly smaller. WHY????????

I set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.logowordmark.alwaysVisible to false but the logo is still present.

Please revert these changes. Or, if someone could provide me with some tips on how to edit the userchrome.css or whatever, that would be great.

Please how do I stop these floating windows above the tabs in Firefox 131.0? They mostly cover up the tabs and make it difficult to impossible to open or close tabs. The floating window only half shows up above he tab. This is just insane and makes using Firefox almost to much to deal with. Every time I get near a tab the floating window appears and tells me what the tab already tells me. Come on this is GARBAGE!
