I was very frustrated that in 156.0.1 (157 as of today) on Arch there is no option to minimize to tray when closing. Now i do not know what is the cause of this, but i was unable to find any working solution ... FOR A PROBLEM SOLVED ~12 YEARS AGO >:(. Eventually resigned to system solution using SysTray-X which eventually worked.

Firefox Weather Widget Displays Incorrect Location — Cannot Change to New York

Dear Mozilla Firefox Support Team, I am experiencing an ongoing issue with Firefox's weather widget on my Mac. The widget continues to display Fredericksburg instead of New York City, where I am located. When I attempt to change the location by entering "New York," "New York, NY," or ZIP code "10032," Firefox does not display any matching locations. The only available option is "Use current location." I am using Firefox version 157.0.1 (64-bit), and the browser is up to date. Troubleshooting steps already completed: 1. Restarted Firefox several times. 2. Disabled and re-enabled the weather widget. 3. Enabled macOS Location Services specifically for Firefox. 4. Verified that browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.weather.locationSearchEnabled is set to true. 5. Confirmed that Firefox's built-in VPN is disabled. 6. Successfully changed AccuWeather's location to New York. 7. Confirmed that Safari and Microsoft Edge recognize New York. Despite these steps, Firefox continues to display Fredericksburg. More recently, the widget has also displayed the error message: "Weather data is not available right now." My network uses Firewalla with ProtonVPN. I would prefer to maintain my current security configuration. Could you please explain how to reset or manually change Firefox's weather widget location to New York City and restore accurate weather information? Thank you for your assistance.

I have the new VPN feature disabled, but I cannot remove it from the main menu reachable from the url bar (three dots). Even after turning it off, it stays at the top. Please let me remove it from the shelf. It is very distracting.

Maybe the settings page for it could also have a toggle to show/hide the VPN in edition to enable/disable. I tried the nimbus experiments and debug settings but the opt out does not persist.

In the short term, a secret setting would be appreciated.

In other browsers (Brave, for example, and Chrome) I can open a drop down menu, and while holding Ctrl choose multiple sites to view. In Firefox, if I drop the menu and choose one site, the menu disappears before I can choose others, even if I hold the Ctrl key. I have to reopen the menu for every site I want from that menu. Is there a way to make FF act like other browsers in this respect?

Suddenly with the latest update, I'm seeing "send link to mobile" when I right-click on a link. I understand this is useful for many people but I will never use it and would like to remove it from the already-cluttered context menu. I don't see any instructions for doing that, and couldn't find it in about:config. It's frustrating to have something suddenly added without my consent and with no information on how to remove it.

When I try to open some links, Firefox gives me the option to "Always open links on apps".

This needs to be fixed. Instead of the option to Always open links in apps, it should be changed to always open links of that type in the external app. I may want torrent links to open in external apps, but maybe I don't want Reddit to automatically do the same thing.

When I installed Thunderbird, I selected Custom Installation, thinking I would get an opportunity to select which components I wanted installed. All it allowed me to do is define the installation folder. Not very "customizable." Anyway, I already have a calendar app that I'm perfectly happy with, don't need a task manager, and don't use chat, Is there a way to remove those apps from Thunderbird?

I use middle-click to close the tabs and move and select tabs around a lot and often misclick on a button by accident and I find that really annoying and tedious to always have to scrutinize the buttons before clicking.

I want to hide all of these buttons.

I have tried userchrome and etc... user scripts, that does not work reliably.
