Hi, after the update to Firefox 103, everything is too big in my Firefox. Looking at the release notes, I realize that this is because Firefox is now responding differently to the "make everything bigger" setting in Windows. I typically have this set to 150 to get everything in Windows set to the appropriate sizes. This was fine with the old Firefox behavior, but now everything in Firefox is too large. Can I revert Firefox to the old font scaling behavior?

 add-on, setting adjustment, or about config switch?

I turned off my laptop last night as I do each night. Opened it up today and my Mozilla browser has changed and it's enlarged! And each and every page I go on is enlarged. NO matter how many times I have shut down and turned back on it's the same. Even if I reduce the page by holding the - control to shrink the page it happens when I reopen that page again or another page. What can I do??? WTF is goin' on??? And why the *uck isn't there a toll free # to call for technical support!!!! + ALL my side extensions are gone off my task bar!!!!! ARG!!!!

Just posting this to confirm that the solution provided by cor-el in an archived thread (four years ago) works, if you want to change your bookmark folder icons.

[[ https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1210566| https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1210566]]

After clicking the top right menu icon from the browser, going to Help > More Troubleshooting Information, and then opening the Profile Folder location, I added a `chrome` folder to the root of the directory, and created an empty `userChrome.css` file within it.

I then added the following to `userChrome.css`. On startup it successfully changed the folder icons (I just didn't want any icon for each folder, so I set it to none):

``` @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

  1. personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container],
  2. bookmarksMenuPopup .bookmark-item[container] {
list-style-image:none !important;
-moz-image-region:auto!important;

} ```

Hi,

For quite some time I've been having issues with sound in Firefox, specifically that there isn't any. I've tried some things to fix the problem but haven't found any solutions. The problem is isolated to Firefox as Chrome and other apps will play video with sound. It's also not limited to certain websites. What's interesting is when I open the soundmixer, it shows a green bar going up and down as if there is audio playing. I've also tried troubleshooting mode without any success. Other things I've tried are: - Updating drivers (everything was up to date) - Re-installing Firefox - Allowing Firefox to automatically play video with sound

Any ideas?

Greetings, Gavin W

I have Windows 10 scaling set at 140%. This morning when I started Firefox, the scaling jumped to 175. If I change it back to 140% in Windows 10, it changes to 175% as soon as I start Firefox.

Is there a way to stop this?

Hello,

I've been basically a Firefox user several years now and I was quite satisfied with the browser until it often threw me an error which says Secure Connection Failed "PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR". I am quite tech-literate, so back then I tried to troubleshoot it myself, but to no avail. Few points to note:

1. I read that it may be the Antivirus that might block it, but I can't really disable it as my current job requires me to browse safely. I have Bitdefender active with firewall off. But I don't think it's this. 2. I don't use VPN. I did use DoH built-in the Firefox, but disabling it didn't really solve it. 3. I read again that the browser profile might have corrupted syncing, but I didn't use Firefox on mobile, nor even create an account on Firefox (until my desperation to ask here) 4. It's impossible to see which site may have the "corrupt page", as it also happen to Google or even this site (I kept refreshing until I can get to this site). 5. I have relatively unstable internet, as I currently live in a not-so-developed country that don't have fast internet. 6. I really refrain to move to another browser as it's already my daily browser and migrating a lot of stuffs is a pain. 7. It occurs randomly, so not like 100% failed, even on high uptime website such as Cloudflare. So the cause should be on the client-side.

I attached the image when it basically failed to load Google. Even when I search for solution and get here I still get the error :(

Any help or fix for this are welcome.

Thank you.
