auto-hide bookmarks toolbar - firefox 80

just updated to firefox 80 and the autohide bookmarks toolbar function is broken. 

add in userchrome.css

here is the fix, 

#PersonalToolbar{
  --uc-bm-height: 20px; /* Might need to adjust if the toolbar has other buttons */
  --uc-bm-padding: 4px; /* Vertical padding to be applied to bookmarks */
  --uc-autohide-toolbar-delay: 600ms; /* The toolbar is hidden after 0.6s */
}

:root[uidensity="compact"] #PersonalToolbar{ --uc-bm-padding: 1px }
:root[uidensity="touch"] #PersonalToolbar{ --uc-bm-padding: 7px }

#PersonalToolbar:not([customizing]){
  position: relative;
  margin-bottom: calc(0px - var(--uc-bm-height) - 2 * var(--uc-bm-padding));
  transform: rotateX(90deg);
  transform-origin: top;
  transition: transform 135ms linear var(--uc-autohide-toolbar-delay) !important;
  z-index: 1;

}
#PlacesToolbarItems > .bookmark-item{ padding-block: var(--uc-bm-padding) !important; }

/* SELECT BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR BEHAVIOR */
/* Comment out or delete either one of these to disable that behavior */

/* Show when urlbar is focused */
#nav-bar:focus-within + #PersonalToolbar{
  transition-delay: 100ms !important;
  transform: rotateX(0);
}

show bookmarks toolbar only on new tab - firefox 72

show on new tab as well we focus on address bar and search bar.
in userChrome.css add,

/*bookmarks toolbar on new tabs only */

#PersonalToolbar{
  --uc-bm-height: 20px; /* Might need to adjust if the toolbar has other buttons */
  --uc-bm-padding: 3px; /* Vertical padding to be applied to bookmarks */
}

:root[uidensity="compact"] #PersonalToolbar{ --uc-bm-padding: 1px }
:root[uidensity="touch"] #PersonalToolbar{ --uc-bm-padding: 6px }

#PersonalToolbar:not([customizing]){
  margin-bottom: calc(2px - var(--uc-bm-height) - 2 * var(--uc-bm-padding));
  transform: rotateX(90deg);
  transform-origin: top;
  transition: transform 135ms linear 600ms !important;
  z-index: 1;

}
#PlacesToolbarItems > .bookmark-item{ padding-block: var(--uc-bm-padding) !important; }

/* SELECT BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR BEHAVIOR */
/* Comment out or delete either one of these to disable that behavior */

/* Show when urlbar is focused */
#nav-bar:focus-within + #PersonalToolbar{
  transition-delay: 100ms !important;
  transform: rotateX(0);
}

get rid of a248.e.akamai.net browser attack

get rid of a248.e.akamai.net browser attack

symptom: when you try to go to a webpage, the browser warns you of a redirect by "a248.e.akamai.net".

How to fix this a248.e.akamai.net:
1) Follow instruction above by Hybrid24. This works a attested by GK Mandigo.
On a side note, I did not specifically power cycled or restarted or refreshed my router since it is quite far from our room. What I did was:
Access your router set up(192.168.x.x) and disconnect & reconnect your internet connection on the internet connection status subpage.
My router is Cisco v3.0.0.02
Our internet connection type is PPPoE.
1. Open your router set-up. for cisco linksys, this could be accessed through 192.168.1.1 or through network magic(i don’t know how though).
2. Go to STATUS PAGE.
3. On the Internet connection details portion, there is a “Login Status” indicating that you are connected and on the side, there is a “disconnect” button. Press the button and when the numbers are set to “0″, Press the “Connect” button.
4. Try facebook again. This should fix your problem without the added hassle of moving around.

I hope this helps anyone.
