I stupidly responded to a pop up on my screen that asked me to choose a colour I had no idea it would turn my whole page GREEN

This green is not OK.

Hi, Windows 11, Firefox 106.0.1 (64-bit).

Don't know what I've done but my browser window isn't displaying the full screen. I use my laptop connected via HDMI to my television (and have been for years) along with a wireless keyboard.

Attached images include:

  • Image at 100%
  • Image at 80%
  • Scale at 150% (recommended)
  • Text setting is at 140%
  • Advanced Display Info

For whatever reason, the right side of browser windows is being clipped off. Full screen doesn't help.

  1. Changing the screen size from 100% to 80% (Ctrl -, and - again) doesn't help.
  2. The scale setting in Windows is at 150% (the recommended setting), as always.
  3. The text setting is at 140% (I can make it smaller or larger with no change in behavior), but what I can comfortably see is 140%).
  4. I've included the Advanced Display Info page from the Systems Info.

Anyway, it's probably a setting I'm unfamiliar with, but I don't know for certain. Thank you in advance.

In shutting down and restarting the computer yesterday, it seems that an upgrade, or some sort of change, took place with the Firefox program. Now the tabs are a bright, loud orange in color, causing the appearance of individual tabs to melt together. In addition, the scroll bar is a tomato soup orange. I just want to return to the former eye-friendly colors, which never drew my attention. Now I almost dread having to log on it is so severe. Please tell me exactly what steps are needed to return to the former palge look. Thank you.

Is this a known issue for the new update? Whenever I try to click Recently Closed Windows in particular, it just does nothing. It has the grey highlighted bar that shows it wants to do something, but then does nothing. About 1 out of 100 times when i click Recently Closed Tabs, it WILL open to show my recently closed tabs, but generally does the same thing as Recently Closed Windows. I know I have recently closed tabs because I restored session and it is currently showing all my old tabs I had open prior to the update. I also tested to see if my recently closed had just reset by opening a new window and closing it, but it still just does nothing. I use the Recently Closed Windows quite a bit and it's quite irritating that it appears to be broken.

Firefox warns some websites are not safe and doesn't load their CSS

Recently I started a new job and received a laptop, so I've been setting up the laptop with all my stuff, including Firefox. At first I used Firefox's account sync feature, but it doesn't sync everything - my extensions' settings (not the extensions I have but what their settings are), my toolbar customization, all the sites I'm logged into, and maybe some other things are not sync'd. So instead I tried a different solution which has worked for me before - copying my profile folder on my PC and pasting it into the laptop. This mostly works, except suddenly Firefox warns that a lot of my company's websites are a potential security risk with the error code SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER. I can get past this, but the real problem is some of these websites - namely GitHub - don't load any CSS anymore. I can access the site but it's ugly. Normal GitHub works, only my company's GitHub (which has a different URL) doesn't.

If I switch back to the other profile, it works. But I'd really like to avoid having to manually sync up my extension settings and other things. Is there any other way to resolve this? Thanks.

When I synced my phone with Firefox Windows desktop and iMac, the IP address stated was different to each of the IP addresses assigned to each of those devices and the location was different (estimated) even thought the name of the devices was correct. Should I be concerned by this? I have attached the email from Firefox re new account sign-in re new device pairing, which shows the incorrect IP address and incorrect (estimated) location. Thank you.

I've just opened Firefox to discover it has updated whilst I was out, and now all my saved logins are missing.

It's not a disaster, just really annoying as it means having to re-enter a lot of information, and remembering it!

Is there any way of recovering that information or is it a lost cause?

I have MSN as my home page. It has changed my local news from Albuquerque to Las Vegas, Nevada. Please tell me how to get it back to Albuquerque. I cannot find help anywhere on this. Please don't tell me to use the Settings gear on the MSN homepage as it has 2 options. Feedback and Help; neither of which addresses this issue.
