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.)

I'd like to keep my extensions up to date, and I have my "allow automatic updates" setting on. When I look at my extensions on the extension page, I often see the message "This extension will be updated when Firefox restarts" with a button to update the extension now. I do not restart my browser often and do not want to manually check if the extension has been updated, hence why I have automatic updates on.

How can I have Firefox keep my extensions updated without having to manually check if there are updates and without restarting Firefox?

When I compose a message in Thunderbird the text runs off the right edge of the screen. If I keep typing blind eventually the text will wrap but some text will still not be visible.

Is there a way to set Thunderbird to recognize the width of my monitor (slightly narrower than standard) or some other remedy?

After I finish I can zoom out and see what was hidden but of I type at that level of zoom the same thing will happen again.

Thanks.

Hi there! I am using Mozilla Firefox Browser (v. 138.0.4 as of today) time to time. Once I open the app my front camera starts glitching - white led indicator turns on and then always on, even when I push power button of the device, Windows Hello doesn't work, Zoom/Skype doesn't allow me use camera (saying that it is in use). The only way to fix the glitch - reboot the device (Windows). Then it works again smoothly, including Edge browser and all other apps, until I start specifically Firefox next time. So, something is wrong with the soft, not with the device. Hope someone can resolve the issue...

The 'Open With' option often, but not always, does not appear with email attachments. There seems to be no pattern with the type of files causing this. eg 'Open With' available for some jpeg files and not other jpeg files. Similar for other types of files. However I know if I copy files to desk top they will open - but then after opening on desk top, they WILL then open from within the email

I am unable to receive emails into my Gmail inbox using a normal window. I can send mail but not receive it. I am using a laptop with windows 11. I can use gmail both in and out in a private window. I can use it in Chrome and Edge. It's only Firefox. I've been sending test messages from my Proton account to my gmail account I've disabled all the addons for mail.google.com I don't know anything about pop/imap but I think it must be Firefox settings I've cleared the cache I've tried to sync everything but that only sync between tablet phone and laptop I've asked google for help and gone through the lists including a config check I've closed Firefox and restarted I've restarted my laptop I thought I'd use Private windows and set it all up, signed in on my tabs, saved them to a folder and arranged to start in private using the tabs in that folder but then I had to sign in to everything again when it started. Signing in to Google is a pain in the arse as it is to sign in to X I've spent 6 hours so far...... I've used FF for years, the easy answer is to use Edge but I don't like it that much Please help.

Hello Thunderbird,

I've read all the explanations on how to use threads in Thunderbird, but I can't find a way to reduce the shift to the right of each line of the thread (incrementation). Visually it would be sufficient if the thread shift were smaller (see attached screenshot). I looked in the configuration editor with [mailnews] but I couldn't find it. Does this exist? Thanks for your help.
