(Categorized as "accessibility" because I feel this is a vision-related issue - if I mistagged the topic please correct me... I don't know where aesthetic issues go.)

Image 1 is how the file explorer looks with a lighter Firefox theme (my main one), Image 2 is with a slightly darker theme. Both are primarily light blue, so I'm not sure why this has happened.

I have my computer and most websites I use on dark mode because I have an easier time reading white on black or dark grey than I do black on white when it gets later in the day. I want to be able to have the darker file explorer with my theme of choice, since light mode kind of burns my eyes...

Is this a new feature added in the most recent update, or something? I haven't had this issue prior to today - if it's a new thing, is there a way to turn off the light file explorer so that I don't have to change themes?

After the last update, shortcuts disappeared from the Home screen. I tried adding them manually, but nothing happened.

When I had a website open, there was an asterisk (I think) to the right of the address box, if I clicked it a new search box opened alongside the original. That asterix seems to have disappeared & I don't know how to get it back. Please can you help?

My current browser is Google but don't know the operating system.

When I use Firefox, I use CTRL key combinations to cut, copy, paste, and delete. I also use F5 to refresh a webpage.

Firefox uses many, many other key combinations and hotkeys, and a great number of them have caused the instant erasure of all the hours of work I had done on a webpage: The browser jumps to another tab, or it goes fullscreen (one of the Function keys does this), or it opens a new window, or it opens a History window, or it does any number of things which I neither want nor need.

I require only to use the key combinations and hotkeys to perform the functions that I have listed, above. But if I must sacrifice them in an overall disable, then I will do so.

Please tell me how to disable the key combination commands and hotkeys in Firefox.

The first image speaks for itself. When I want to change the way this setting is set in a Facebook group, when Firefox is full screen, the associated dialog is so placed and/or sized on the screen that it is partially truncated on the left by the left side of the display. I just checked in MS Edge and it displays normally there with full screen display. It displays normally in Firefox when I Restore Down. So this one at least does seem to be specific to Firefox.

I have a second full screen display issue that may be related, but this one isn't just Firefox; Ms Edge also shows it, and other applications also behave similarly: the right hand scroll bar disappears in full screen (as does the applicaion menu control)! I had some trouble taking a pair of images to illustrate this, using Snipping Tool. The second image, when Firefox is set to restore Down, shows the scroll bar and application menu control, which is what I see. The third image was more tricky to take because the first time I tried, the screen capture included a scroll bar and application menu control even though they were not visible on screen. I had to redo it and be very careful not to let the right hand side of the selection drift off the right hand side of the display.

It seems like the full screen display is just a little "larger" than the physical display. I have tried one or two other screen resolution settings and that has not helped. My best guess is that it's a monitor settings problem, but I've also fiddled with the monitor settings, again with no success. And even if a monitor setting explains the pervasive right hand side issue, it doesn't explain the Facebook dialogue issue, which does appear to be Firefox-specific.

So my current workaround is just not to have anything full screen :(

I HAVE USED THE YOUCARE SEARCH ENGINE FOR OVER A YEAR AND FOUND IT EXCELLENT, I'VE PROVIDED OVER 85 MEALS FOR ANIMALS IN SHELTERS, BUT YESTERDAY WHEN I WANTED TO DO A SEARCH, NOTHING CAME UP, IT JUST SAID 'NO RESULTS FOUND' I TRIED SOME COMMON SITES, NEXT, ARGOS, ALDI, AND IT JUST SAID THE SAME THING.

                                                                                              COULD YOU PLEASE HELP PUT THIS RIGHT,
                                                                                                                                                                    MANY THANKS, JANET.
