every time firefox does these automatic updates in the background, it resets certain security settings that cause me anger and frustration.

example: is that I access all my secure sites via Lastpass... and the latest update has killed that ability and I need now to go down into the bowels of the firefox settings to figure out how to get Last pass functionality working again...it is a huge time waster and frustrating when I need to use this immediately.

any advice for me before I give up firefox and revert to using a Chrome browser again?

I sync tabs with multiple devices, but I cannot get my tabs to sync with my iPad. I have tried scanning the QR code from my desktop browser. I have tried entering the password. The process never finishes on the iPad, even after the desktop browser said the process was complete.

I can't tell if I'm crazy, or if the tab area shrank

I think the new update shrank the space above the tabs. When I try to find solutions, all I find are chrome users complaining about the space and ways to shrink it. However, I want that space back. It shifts my workspace, and it was one of the features I really liked from Firefox that differed from Chrome.

Or, I'm just losing my mind and having to remove the new sidebar just completely threw me off.

Websites keep telling me I have an ad blocker on. I do not have an ad blocker, and even when I disable all extensions, I still get the messages that I have an ad blocker. YouTube no longer works on Firefox, which I suspect is for the same reason.

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/136.0/releasenotes/ in 136.0 the shortcut for completing search strings to .com addresses has been changed from Ctrl+Enter to Cmd+Enter.

I visited quite a few unwanted sites today since i was used to cmd+enter shortcut for years. I type google.com and it highlights goo as I type. and instead of opening google.com in a new tab i visit goo.com in current tab. what a painful change. I had to dig to disable the .com autocomplete in the firefox setting (browser.fixup.alternate.prefix and browser.fixup.alternate.suffix), and get used to option + enter instead.

would be nice if this could be customized.
