So I added the timer and notes widget to my startpage! When I got rid of them, the Search Bar just resized and became a lot larger. Also the weather widget does not even display. (See picture 1 & 2)
So far I just turned browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.nova.enabled to false and that changed the startpage look to pre-151. (See picture 3)
Is there any fix to this so I could continue using the nova design for my startpage?
Hey so I had a window opened with some extremely important tabs on it and opened a second window. I somehow accidentally closed the first window and now everytime I open firefox I practically only see the saved tabs from the 2nd window.
Is there a way to recover the tabs for the first one? Worked once 🤷♂️ (somehow idk what I did)
How do I make use of the field that's closer to the center? (green) I don't really want to use the url-bar for asthetic reasons. (red)
So today I came out to a friend. I honestly don't know how I feel. I felt happy, stupid and uncomfortable at the same time. How do I feel now? I don't know. I thought I would feel better or more reliefed.
I was walking to the bus station with a friend of mine. I know him for around 13 years now (we're just friends) and it took me a lot of courage to start my sentence. We were walking and I was like "Can I tell you something?". He then said "Yeah, of course." and I told him with humor "I may be a little gay or bisexual." as to mention that I am still not fully certain. He said "I knew it. I knew it man." and also said "congratulations". He also said "what am I supposed to say/do now?". He promised me not to tell anybody, but I honestly expected more positive emotions. I guess he congratulated me but like he didn't say much else and the moment felt so unreal.
Until I got home I was pretty happy about it and also felt like an idiot alongside some discomfort. Now I don't really know what I am feeling tbh.
I just feel...rather bad. :( It doesn't feel like a success.
Hey guys, this is my first post on this subreddit fyi. So let me introduce you to my problem!
I am gay and I live in germany! My family is muslim and so was I. Until last year I have been trying my best to stay away from my sexual orientation and I constantly prayed to god to make me "normal" again, as in to "make me straight". At that time I was 15. Now I am 16.
I made a lot of research in regards to islam and honestly, does it seem like a bad religion? From my subjective and probably heavily influenced mind, no. All the excuses that I have seen in regards to islam and its rather dark sides do not really make sense - some do of course but not all - but I still can't get to the point where I reject them because they are very deeply integrated in my mind since I have been a muslim for 15 years. Personally, I do not know of any major contradictions in the Quran either, so feel free to inform me of that if you do!
What's my issue now? I am trying to detach from my religion for about a year now because of my sexual orientation - but not because I lack belief. And that's where my issues arise. I am trying to detach from a belief I believe in, I am forcing it away from me. I am forcing myself not to believe in it. It works only partially.
This leads to me having serious issues, especially related to sleeping. I go to sleep anxiously every day for the past three or four years. Why? Because of how often I heard about the concept of god being capable of taking your soul while you sleep. This may sound weird to you but this is deeply integrated in my mind.
So does anybody have any ideas what I could do to either get rid of these deeply integrated thoughts and how I could practically "cripple" my personal beliefs? Or would it be better for me to practically live a life where my sexuality is invalid yet my beliefs align themselves with the religion.
So in an older post I asked for help regarding how I could figure out my sexuality and I am honestly proud to have come a bit closer in regards to one aspect of it. Someone proposed that I might be greysexual which is something I feel comfortable with I believe.
But now one thing is missing: How do I check/make sure/convince myself/... that I am really gay? Being greysexual is out of the question, but am I really into guys? The doubts still there and I have no idea how I would answer that question. :(
So does anybody have any idea how I could figure that out?
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys, I made some research regarding a question that's been haunting me for a long time: "Why is it that most queer people I know have either ADHD or autism?" Today I decided to dig into that question and make some research and I will present my results to you!
Before I do so though, please feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes here! You're also good to add your own opinion as well. Now that aside, I feel like this topic has been feeding my internalized homophobia a lot and it might still do so a bit, but definitely not as much as it used to before my research and I hope this clears up someone elses thoughts as well. The answers I pulled from this article are actually very helpful, at least for me. Now onto my research:
According an article I read (see extract picture 1) , neurodivergent individuals are eight times more likely to turn out to identify with a sexual orientation or gender identity that does not align with what society deems to be "the norm", though other sources state it to be three to six times more likely. This is also supported by this article (see extract picture 2) and this article (see extract picture 3).
As a reason for this, I have often read that the fact neurodivergent people are more likely to question social norms and go their own way leads to them being more open about this topic. This is also motivated by the fact that many neurodivergent individuals - unfortunately - undergo discrimination throughout their lifes and are often not fully accepted by society. This leads to them thinking that if they're already not being accepted, why stop there? This is also supported by a reddit post and its comments, where one person states that they "are already outsiders, so why not be open." - though I strongly believe that neurodivergent individuals should not be counted as "outsiders". They're regular people like us, this is simply a quote. - Another person states that the fact they are queer is "seperate to being autistic." Though they also further state that their autism slightly effects their "queerness". Another person states though, that they are unaware of whether this is linked themselves. A comment further states that "autistic people are less able or willing to hide being Queer than neurotypical people." Even though these are not scientific studies or articles based on scientific studies like the ones I addressed above and linked below, it's still important to see how neurodivergent people themselves feel about this, and their opinion deserves representation as well.
As mentioned, this actually helped me fight my internalized homophobia a bit, something I have strongly been working on for around two years now. I hope this is also helpful to somebody else. It took me some time to write this down and a lot of interruption by my family - they shouldn't see this - but in the end it was totally worth it for myself. As said, I hope the fact I compiled this will be helpful to some of you who were also asking themselves this question! I'll be handing this over to one of my friends as well who has been asking themselves the same question.
My sources are linked below if you wish to check it out yourself. Once more, correct me on any mistakes I made and I would be happy to hear out your opinion on this topic. :)

Hey. I am Concept! I am 16 years old.
I found this reddit after doomscrolling again. I guess it was worth it since I found another awesome reddit for teenagers. B)
Where am I from? South German Confed- I mean Germany. I am in 10th grade and I plan to do my A-Levels next year! But...the finale exam is in 2028. So a lot of time left!
Additionally, I am gay but I didn't come out yet! I do have a plan for in a few days though. :)
Side Note: I am small af and a fucking LEAF when it comes to weigh. .-.
