The Context: I'm setting up a new Linux PC (Mint OS). I logged into Yahoo Mail using Firefox and clicked on the browser notification in the corner that said something like "Make Yahoo the default for mail links".

The Problem: When I click Mailto links in Firefox it takes me to a broken Yahoo Mail page. The page says "Your mail is temporarily unavailable" when that is not the case - Yahoo Mail works when I manually browse it.

Further details: I confirm that the "Applications" section of Firefox settings shows Yahoo mail as the default for mailto links. And specifically, the application details specify that the url used is: https://mail.yahoo.com/mrd/mail/any/compose?src=mailto&url=%s

I appreciate the "Translate Selection To" in the right click context menu is in Beta. For me it works but not as well as it might. For example, I am English, my laptop is set to English, I am viewing a website in English but it has some foreign text on it, so I hightlight the text, right click and I am offered to "Translate Selection To ... Slovenian" Why???

I then have to tell it the language of the source/highlighted text and I have to tell it I want the result in English. I can accept it might not recognise the language of the source text but it is very annoying that it assumes I want it converted to Slovenian instead of the systems default language.

To make it worse, having changed the languages to those I want, it doesn't remember them and the next time I use it I'm back to square one.

This would be a really useful feature if only it was logical.

after an update i couldn't ignore the now deadcentered firefox logo and wordmark and i can't stop being bothered by its sudden appierance. I looked into the settings and dissabled the EXCACT setting for this problem in the "about:config" going for the one with "wordmark" in the setting but its done nothing.

I've never had sponsored shortcuts and suddenly today I've got them. I've attempted the disable the "sponsored shortcuts" on my desktop however its greyed out.

Starting state - Shortcuts selected, sponsored selected and grey Procedure: 1.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan 2.) Click sponsored, it becomes grey again 3.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan (again) 4.) Click sponsored, it appears deselected 5.) Hit refresh and it returns to starting state

I do not edit my GPO or registry, settings are not controlled by an organization, I am not confusing sponsored shortcuts with pinned search engines.

My bookmarks toolbar goes away when I go on YouTube or click a search result on a new tab. To be clear, the typing bar, extensions, and Pocket icon remain, but just the bookmarks toolbar goes away. I tried to check settings as per recommended by a Google search, and it did not help anything. Is this a new update, or did I accidentally mess something up? Any and all help is very deeply appreciated, and thank you in advance.

I wasn't quite sure what topic to put my question in, but I have the following problem: I recently went into my browser settings and saw this(I attached screenshot). what does this mean? my browser shouldn't be managed by any organization, because it's my personal computer... I thought it might be because of the vpn, but I already uninstalled vpn, but that didn't help.
