Accidentally removed extensions button. Want to add it back (for 3 add-ons within that button). Icon not in "customise toolbar"

After my bitwarden add-on failed me, I remembered ChatGPT helping me with this another time - but I got it wrong. I right clicked the extensions button (I have 3 add-ons falling under that button) and removed from tool bar, thinking I could then reinstall it and the Bitwarden issue would rectify.

Instead, the extension icon disappeared, and is nowhere to be located. ChatGPT wants to do some reconfiguring but surely there's a better way. I have looked in "customise toolbar" (ie, right click toolbar, click customise toolbar and look for the icon" - but the puzzle piece icon is not there.

Surely I have hidden the puzzle piece icon somehow and I need to do some sort of magic to make it reappear... Have never had this issue with Firefox previously.

Hi All,

I was using the following CSS to hide the navigation images and show only text labels on the context menu for the Back, Forward, Reload and Bookmark Page menu options...

/* Content Area Context Menu - Navigation Vertical Text */
#context-navigation,
#context-navigation > menuitem{
  flex-direction: column !important;
}
/* hide images */
#context-back image, #context-forward image,
#context-reload image, #context-stop image,
#context-bookmarkpage image{
   display: none !important;
}
/* show text labels */
#context-back:after, #context-forward:after,
#context-reload:after, #context-stop:after,
#context-bookmarkpage:after{
   content: attr(aria-label) !important;
   margin-inline-start: -19px !important; /* this pushes navigation text items to left, aligned with other menu items below */
}


It worked up until a couple of versions ago, but something has changed, and my CSS is now broken, and those navigation icons are back.

My context menu now looks like the attached image below.

Any help with showing only text labels on this menu is appreciated.

Thanks.

To sign into my Amazon account, I'd like to enter only my email address and my password.

But I have to enter my email address and my passkey. A verification code is then sent to my email address. I then need to enter that verification code to complete signing into Amazon.

On the Amazon's Sign in page (where I enter my passkey), it says "This request comes from the app 'firefox.exe' by "Mozilla Corporation".

How do I disable the two-factor (aka two-step) authentication for Amazon in Firefox?

How in the heck do you increase the size of the UI font? I have a 1440P monitor and the TINY size of the UI font makes it nearly impossible to read the text on the menu buttons, I have lean forward and squint to read it because they are so damn small. I can't find anything in the settings to make the UI text larger. It is as if some dummy hard coded the UI font size so it's impossible for the average person to find out how to change it. It makes no sense whatsoever.

And please don't tell me to increase the zoom in the Windows settings, because that screws up EVERYTHING else...

Another thing that is driving me crazy is how do you set it so that scrolling with the mouse wheel is smooth and not jerky? When i scroll with the mouse wheel, instead of smoothly moving the page up or down, it JERKS a couple of lines at a time. This is the only browser that it does that in. I have smooth scrolling ON in the mouse settings on my computer but for some reason, only Firefox is doing this.

Every time I open a new site or webpage, the automatic translation window pops up. I don't need translations and I have to choose "don't translate this page" again and again. I've searched everywhere on Firefox and I can't find a way to stop this. It is extremely intrusive and annoying. I don't understand why Firefox should decide for me what I want and what I don't want. Has anybody solved this problem.

Hello,

I'm facing an issue where my microphone does not work in Google Meet when using Firefox, even though I’ve granted all necessary permissions. This problem is specific to Firefox, as the microphone works perfectly fine in Google Chrome.

I prefer using Firefox because of its convenient screenshot features, but this microphone issue has caused major inconvenience during important meetings.

Kindly help me resolve this issue.

Thank you.

After a re-start, my Firefox browser on a Dell laptop lost all history and has since also not been collecting websites visited. When opening a new tab, the shortcuts and recently visited websites are also gone and no longer being collected. My CCleaner recently updated itself to a new version but I unchecked the delete history for Firefox (which treacherously is clicked by default - I fell into that trap before). Happy to blame the new CCleaner but that would not explain why history is not being collected now - to me the fault seems to lie with Firefox instead. Another possibility that went through my mind: Is Microsoft sabotaging users of Windows 11 to force them to buy new? PS: Under "Privacy", "History", the setting is "Firefox will remember history", as it always has been and should be. But it has forgotten all previous history and it is no longer collecting any new history either!

Hello,

I’m experiencing an issue where I cannot use ChatGPT-5 in Firefox. When I log in and try to select or use GPT-5, nothing loads or functions properly. Other models like GPT-3.5 work normally, but GPT-5 does not respond.

I’ve already tried refreshing the page, clearing cache and cookies, and even disabling extensions — but the problem persists. Could this be a compatibility issue with Firefox? Any advice or support would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!
