I have no idea where the ad blocker is here on Firefox and cannot turn it off when I need to. It is crazy that it is so difficult to find AD BLOCKER - I find articles that say how to do it but they make no sense because I try to follow and it still does not work. I need to know how to turn off the ad blocker - especially when I want to use Rakuten - I cannot never use it because I cannot manage my ad blocker when I need to

Recent update [139] changed the size of text of bookmarks in folders in the bookmark toolbar

Updated recently from (I believe) 138.04 to 139.0.1, and immediately noticed that the size of font (and icons) had changed in the folders I have in the bookmark toolbar, that is they are much smaller and thus also less space between. Why this, and is it possible to change the size, without changing something else?

It's possible that many don't have folders in the toolbar and thus don't notice, but I have 2-3 apart from bookmarks.

I remember a change many versions ago that increased the space between entries in the bookmark menu, and also in the bookmark toolbar folders. That was too much and I found a setting [in config] that could be changed to decrease the space back then. (I haven't looked for that solution now, probably have some doc somewhere, and won't bother searching since this is different. Same with this case; I did some quick initial search but found next to nothing and older. BTW, this is one of the downsides of changes like these and similar; the day you have too move to another OS version, i.e. reinstall everything you also have to keep documentation of all these little changes, apart from all the other things you'll have to export or save.)

Just purchased a new desktop that came with Windows 11 pro installed. I don't like it. Also having to start from scratch is annoying having to redo all the fixes to Firefox I did on the old computer anyhow.

The attached shows the Toolbar drop downs and what I have done to get rid of them of course the "Show an image preview when you hover on a tab" does just that but the description box (see attached) is still there.

OK I have Firefox 134.0.1 (64-bit) as mentioned Windows 11 pro Any help please and please keep in mind I don't understand a lot of computer speak I am 69yo but can do a bit.

Hi,

I am enjoying the new sidebar with ChatGPT but having a small issue due to Enter being new line rather than send message. At the moment I have not found a keyboard key / combination to send a message and instead have to use my mouse to click send.

I would like to suggest an option to have either Enter being send message and Shift + Enter being new line, or the reverse of Enter is new line and Shift Enter is send message.

If there is a way to send a message using keyboard then please let me know.

Thanks,

When searching on the internet, after entering the search name and hitting enter. The search results are on a Yahoo search page. I can't find any malware, extension, add-on that is associated with Yahoo. I did see a log that was in red that was associated with a website I attempted to convert a png file to a ico file. However, after downloading the software it was for converting PDF's to images. so I uninstalled it. it was after that Yahoo showed up. That log in web history was associated with the software.

Please tell me whether I need to a)uninstall/reinstall Firefox OR if there is a setting somewhere that I need to use to correct this problem. I usually use Arial variations and need at least 14 for font size. My settings are always the same. My machine is a Lenovo ThinkPad and the OS is Windows 11. I have four bars at the top of the screen, File/Edit, below that tabs, below that the search bar, and below that bookmarks. Before yesterday everything was the correct size for my vision. Please tell me how to fix this. Thank you. Jody Gruber Alexandria VA

Some extensions, like Bitwarden or Notes, seem to have added their own shortcut icons between the settings cog and the other functions below the tabs, with seemingly no way to remove them? I already have them in my regular toolbar / extension overflow, which has much more space available, so I don't see the point of why there's duplicate ones in the sidebar taking away tab space?
