Chosen solution

To get stuff back to normal, reset Windows' "Make text bigger" setting to 100% or enter about:config in the URL bar and create a new number pref ui.textScaleFactor = 100.

Yes! This fixed the problem, please add this option to the Firefox preferences.

On #1, the Windows' "Make text bigger" UI issue, Here is the solution posted in another thread today, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1384060

Windows' "Make text bigger" accessibility setting now affects all the UI and content pages, rather than only applying to system font sizes. To get stuff back to normal, reset Windows' "Make text bigger" setting to 100% or enter about:config in the URL bar and create a new number pref ui.textScaleFactor = 100.

"Make text bigger" is under Windows 10 Settings -> "Ease of Access" -> "Display".

For more information about this change, see bug 1773342 and bug 1773633. Before commenting in bug reports, please read Bugzilla Etiquette.

On #2, the Bookmarks Toolbar issue , maybe this article will help: Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window If no one else replies on the bookmarks subject and you need more help, you may want to start a new thread on that issue. See Mozilla Support rules and guidelines on posting support requests.

Hi

While there is not an easy way to revert this our product team did suggest this about:config preference change as the optimal solution at this time.

  1. In the address bar, type about:config and press the Enter key.
  2. The about:config warning page may appear. Click Accept the Risk and Continue to continue to the about:config page.
  3. In the search field, enter browser.display.os-zoom-behavior, select the pencil "edit" icon and change the number to 0.
  4. Select the check mark and restart Firefox.

They did note they would look into alternative options which may be present in a future update.

WARNING from the moderator team: Changing Firefox pref from the about:config page can sometimes break Firefox or cause strange behavior. You should only do this if you know what you're doing.

Please read Firefox Advanced Customization and Configuration Options to learn more.
