I have multiple profiles, one of which I use the most and consider the main profile.

I just used another profile, then switched back to the main one, after which I selected a desktop shortcut, which opened my secondary profile, instead of opening up in the main one.

How can I avoid this?

I searched this question in your "support" section It has been asked many times but no answer has been given. In addition the community forum site itself says that 0, 1 or 2 people have this problem when there are many more posts about exactly this problem. Google doesn't seem to be happy about my using Firefox as my browser and now send me directly to their page on cleaning up cookies, etc. When I go to settings in Firefox I get the "Your browser is being managed by your organization" message, but just like the many others who have commented in the community forum, I don't have an organization to manage my browser and I can't even seem to find out what organization Firefox thinks is managing my browser. How do I regain control of my Firefox?

Today the icons on New Tab have been resized which makes it difficult to see the differences. As seen in the attached images the logo icons have been reduced in size but the generic letter icons have had their outside edges overlain with the border. Not only has the visible area of the thumbnail been reduced but the title for each of the icons has also been truncated. Another thing to note is there is also more vertical space between the icons.

When I looked into this further I found information about the about:config page. As per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1338808 I found and edited the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newNewtabExperience.enabled key to false. This did not change the icon size.

I also noticed the next key browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newNewtabLayouts.variant-b So I changed it from true to false. This seemed to work... Hooray!!!

Unfortunately after I closed and reopened firefox the small icons were back.

Please help, the shortcut icons are only helpful if they are readable and identifiable.

Thunderbird shows time in a.m./p.m. format since recently

I use Thunderbird 128.5.2 on Linux. I have set it to use my regional settings (i.e., locale). That meant, because I have set LC_TIME="nl_NL.UTF-8", that time was in 24-hour format (in the date column of the message list and in the message header). Recently, it switched to a 12-hour a.m./p.m. format (e.g., 07-01-2025 1:47 p.m. instead of something with 13:47). How do I get it to use a 24-hour format again?

I do not want to fiddle with datetime formatting settings. I just want my locale settings to be used. If it turns out locale settings have changed, I need to fix those. (I do not think so, on the command line, the date command returns do 9 jan 2025 19:33:33 CET, something in 24-hour format.)

I noticed that, since a couple of months, my Mozilla Firefox 133.0b6 (64-bit on Arch Linux) introduced a delay between the moment when you uncover the "Advanced" section in the "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" screen, and the time you can actually accept and dismiss the warning. This is implemented by disabling the button.

I work very comfortably with keyboard, and my daily job is a constant navigation to some private IP address, log into a network device which uses some kind of self-signed certificate, do stuff, move on to the next device. Unfortunately, there is no single CA that I can import in the browser to avoid this. All device have their own self-signed certificate.

The acceptance of the warning is only limited to some quick key presses:

``` <tab> <enter> <tab> <tab> <tab> <enter> ```

The problem is that it has been introduced a timeout very recently, during which the "accept" button is disabled. The timeout is relatively short, but I would like to disable it completely, if possible.

Thank you in advance
