So, I recently updated my copy of Mozilla Firefox, and I noticed something strange. The button for the built-in VPN is disproportionately large to other buttons and clickable elements. I don't see it in the release notes, so I doubt this is an intentional design choice by the UX team, at least I hope it isn't. Any help will be greatly appreciated, as it is really distracting.

If it helps, I'm using Mozilla Firefox 151.0.2 running under GNU/Linux Debian 13 Trixie as a Flatpak.

A heart has recently been included in the Firefox icon in my taskbar. What's the reason for it and what do I have to do so that the Firefox icon no longer has it? I've run a number of antimalware programs and they came up with nothing.

How do I permanently remove the Tabs called "Profiles" and "Tools" from Firefox menu: i.e. Firefox, File, Edit, View, etc. It has eliminated my WIFI icon from that line. Tried to add a screen shot but it threw me out and I had to start this msg again. Very annoying!

Emoji no longer display after upgrade to 148

Since updating Firefox from a previous version, the browser no longer displays any Unicode emoji characters. Where an emoji would normally be rendered (👁), the browser instead displays empty space. Websites such as twitter and discord, which use their own artwork for emoji, are unaffected. This has negatively affected my browsing experience.

For illustrative purposes, I will add a series of emoji and include a screenshot of how they are displayed: (😀🙁😡💀). Other characters still display correctly: (β❖♞䷲⎈𐘢𓀺இ). My computer otherwise displays emoji correctly. The issue persists after disabling extensions, and has persisted between computer restarts.

I'm running Linux (NixOS) and Firefox version 148. I've tested on Chrome based browsers and they work fine. Tested on Firefox forks and they also don't display correctly. This is new since less than a week ago.

Thanks for any help with this.

Greetings. Been trying to enlarge the font size in the bars (title, menu, and tab) at top of Firefox. Have read many similiar complaints, but the answers don't relate to the problem. I can't find some of the options some suggest. I'm not blind (yet), but the type is so miniscule, I have difficulty reading it. I've uploaded a photo and a screenshot to hopefully clarify the problem. Check the difference in the bars compared to the page. I don't want 14 pt. type on the bars, but something better than the miniscule type. Thank you for any relevant assistance or advice.

I am making another plea: how do I change the font size of the working bars in firefox? The Title BAR, the Menu BAR, the Tab BAR, etc. On my computer, they're minuscule, and I can't see them. I'm not a programmer, I don't know anything about code, so that limits the way things can be explained to me, or that I can understand. Several of you have been kind enough to suggest different solutions, but they all make things worse. I think I've screwed things up almost irreparably. I can barely recognize my browser any more. I've even tried to refresh Firefox, and that also made the situation worse. And now, every tab crashes constantly. Thanks to anyone who can help me solve this problem.

Just did a Mozilla update and noticed the Incognito Mode isn't working the same. I can click a link to New Private Window, but it looks exactly the same as a regular window. Incognito Mode was always purple which help me know I was in that mode. Anyone else notice this? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
