When going to Tool Bar menu Tools>Options>General, where is the OK button? My Tools>Options>General only shows a "?" Question mark icon at the bottom of the dialogue window. I as well as other users miss the "OK" button. What is going on Mozilla Support? Don't want to switch to Chrome, but I need an answer as I have no way of knowing that the preferences I select in Privacy section are implemented. Without the "OK" button, I have no assurance that the changes have been made. Mozilla Firefox was better when the "OK" button was in place.

You can toggle browser.preferences.inContent to false on the about:config page: page via a double-click to restore the standalone Options/Preferences window that you had in previous Firefox versions.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
