Is there a simple way to block certain page elements with default tools?

Coming from Firefox, where I had uBlock Origin, which had a built-in "element picker" for easily blocking content. I never really used this except for on Steam, since the background image on game pages causes massive slowdown.

I was trying to figure out if there's something similar in Waterfox but haven't had much luck, and it keeps advising not installing uBlock Origin over/along the integrated ad blocker.

For clarification, this is all I had to add as filtered/blocked content to get Steam pages running smoothly again. Is there a way to just copy/paste this somewhere into Waterfox?

Bookshop orders never register automatically is there a way to fix?

For reference, I use Edge without any ad blocking or anything enabled except the Rakuten add-on to minimize any technical complications in registering completed shopping trips.

For some reason, it just never works on Bookshop though. If I had to guess, either it's the way the check-out page is configured, or the tracking cookie changes when I select a shop to purchase through.

So I end up having to manually register missing cash back afterwards every time. Just wondering if anyone else has this experience or knows of a solution?

Thank you.

Good morning, everyone,

I've been using this Proton Calendar add-on for what seems like years now and it always worked well. All it does is add a Proton Calendar button to the toolbar along the side (under the Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Chat buttons).

I am using Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200 Build 26200) and Thunderbird version 150.0.1, on the release update channel.

Within the past couple of months, this extension just stopped working. The Proton Calendar button disappeared from the toolbar. I've tried to re-install it a few different times and it still doesn't work. I've gone into the customize toolbar menu and there's no icon to add to the toolbar, either. So it "installs" but it's not really functioning.

Just wondering what the possible fix for this would be. I imagine a fresh profile set-up or complete reinstallation of Thunderbird may do the trick but it seems like overkill for this one thing.
