Is the Mute Tabs icon a Fixture?

The mute tabs icon is just a waste of space as soon as you get a few tabs loaded and the tabs shrink. I have multiple tabs showing at the moment where I have clicked on the icon and unmuted them when just trying to select them. It does not help that the icons have been placed in almost the exact centre of the tab, at least with the 19 I have showing in a mix of muted/unmuted. Only 7 of these tabs are still muted, although I did deliberately unmute one to check the action.

I would prefer it if these icons are not showing as they are a waste of space and my time. If you hit the icon the tab is not brought to the front as intended so you have to click on them again. I just want the tabs to work like real tabs.

Is there any way to remove the feature altogether? I have after a lot of frustration just reduced the sound for Firefox in the Windows Volume Mixer as I did before tab muting was thought of. I almost never use sound in Firefox anyway.

bold text I use duck duck go, but I want to shut down AI in my search engine. What search engine does FireFox support that allows for AI to be disabled permanently?

The AI answers and responses are colored. I don't want my searches to be part of an AI "learning" moment. My searches should be completed and not "filtered" or "interpreted" but simply the results displayed.

Best advice Modzilla, Don't "loose" me on this request. When I leave something it is permanent; I don't look back. Just saying.

Firefox is ignoring my preferred language and using the Japanese versions of every single website I go to. My only preferred language is English, there is NOTHING else. This has been happening for months now, and the only way I've found to deal with this is to turn on a VPN, and I don't want to have to turn on a VPN every time I'm using this search engine. Just to add extra information, I live in Japan, this wouldn't happen if I were in the US, but I'm not in the US, and the search engine knows that, and keeps putting me on Japanese websites. This is getting really frustrating and it seems like the settings cannot do anything. Also I am aware there is a translation feature, but it takes long to load depending on the page, isn't accurate, and doesn't translate everything.

Thank you in advance. In my Firefox settings, "Open in new tab" is currently set to "https://www.google.com/". I'd like to change it to "https://www.google.co.jp/", but no matter how many times I try changing the settings, I can't get it to change. I've also tried installing the "New Tab Override" add-on, but nothing has changed. I'd appreciate any advice you can give me.

2. Typing into search bar for Duck Duck Go in new tab page types directly into active bar...

3. Active bar is no longer at the top but is in Bookmarks toolbar...

I suspect some update problem.
