What happened?

Today I noticed the new "Weather" option was added to the new tab page and I wanted to disable it. Upon opening the options side pane I saw that this option has no switch, but when I moused over it, the switch appeared. Though, removing the mouse from this option's box makes the switch disappear again. When the option is turned off, the switch stays visible at all times. Later I discovered that this applies to all options in this pane.

On a side note, shouldn't the weather thing be disabled by default as well?
I just started testing the browser and found that odd

I don't think so. When you bring a new feature into your project you either enable it by default if its a quality of life feature, or make an introduction pop-up of some sort, if it is a more focused change, to make those who may need such focused feature aware of it. The weather widget is easy to disable and most people will appreciate additional info on their new tab page, in my opinion

The weather widget is easy to disable

True, I just brought it up because since privacy seems to be a big thing here, would be weird to ping a third party service by default and show your city location
Also it seems that this weather thing is actually done by Firefox and not Zen (correct me if I'm wrong), so maybe they will consider disabling it in the future

@mr-cheff, the user has indicated that the issue with invisible toggle switches for new tab settings in the Firefox extension is still present on version 1.0.2-b.5. Could you please take a look and assist them with this?

The issue with invisible toggle switches in the new tab settings pane is related to missing CSS styles for .toggle-button[aria-pressed="true"]. To resolve this, ensure that the correct CSS styles are applied, including the --toggle-background-color-pressed variable and transparent border-color ^[1].

Regarding the weather widget, it is enabled by default through the preference setting pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.system.showWeather", true); ^[2]. If privacy is a concern, you might consider disabling it manually until further changes are made to the default settings.

A small correction to avoid confusion. This is the default Zen's "New Tab" page, and not some kind of extension.
