Font related settings is too complex for normal users to set their font size

After installing thunderbird, It takes me hours to figure out that my fonts are too small because of one value in Settings > General > Language & Fonts > Fonts > Advanced > Fonts for Other writing systems gives a too small number.

It seems insane and I don't think users can easily get there. Maybe some users want to set different fonts for different languages and the "Fonts for ..." is for them. However, for most users who just want to change their font size, I don't think it's a good experience to going so deep and find an option in the loooong "Fonts for ..." list.

So please give users a simple option where I can just set my font size without such pain.

I know there's a font size option in TB menu but it doesn't work as expected. In my case, the font size shown in TB menu is 16 while the font size of my plain text emails is 12. And 1. email font sizes will change to TB menu size as long as TB menu font size is not 16. For example, when changing TB menu font size 15 -> 16 -> 17, email text just suddenly goes from 15 to as small as 12, and then from 12 to 17. 2. email font size seems changing with the TB menu font size. However, email text font size will go back to what it was when open another email.

Why is the block pop-up windows button grayed out?

One of the websites I need for school requires pop-ups. I can't click on the button to permit pop-up windows for just that site because it only flashes for less than a second and it is grayed out. I tried to go to preferences to disable the pop-up blocker, but the checkbox to disable it is grayed out. I created a new profile, but the button to disable the pop-up blocker is grayed out on that too. I now have to use chrome for this website because I can allow pop-ups on that browser.

My question is why is this setting grayed out? And how can I re-enable pop-ups or at least edit the exception list because that is grayed out right now too. Any other tips for troubleshooting similar issues in the future would also be appreciated.

New installation of Debian 13, Firefox setup with sync on successful. However, I wanted to add hone button and a few other mods to the toolbar but when I started customize the toolbar from menu pic the customization page would not work, it appeared and seemed OK but when I dragged and dropped anything it would not work. I could pickup items but they would not place in toolbar and just snapped back to the pallet. I tried several different ways to enter the customization area but it was always non-functional.

I've found out that you can create custom prompts for the AI sidebar with the configuration `browser.ml.chat.prompts.*`. Usually, this is done with the selection text. However, I'd like to pass the URL instead. I could use `%url%`, but that does not include parameters after `?` and hence does not work for Youtube.

Is there any variable that I can use to pass the full URL including parameters of the URL?
