Hello

Does anyone know what size the screws are inside the red circles or what vendor has the replacements?

Ace Hardware has small metric screws in the little drawers near their metric bins.

I do not know how to fix this. All I can say is it all works fine for me with what I use, Firefox.

The smaller hardware stores also usually have very helpful staffs too. If you go when its not too busy, they will help you out as much or as little as you need. Nothing like Home Depot where you can wander for hours without seeing someone who knows the section you need.

Yes ACE is the place so the add says.
I stopped in the Big Box Store one day and asked where the toggle bolts are? I got a deer in the head lights look and what is a toggle bolt.
