When Firefox starts up, it is constantly offering me options to set colors, themes, etc.

Is there a way to turn these popup prompts off?

Do you have an add-on relating to colors? If so, that may be responsible for the pop-ups and may give you the option to stop them.

You can block all pop-ups and, theoretically, create exceptions. Open Settings from a menu, go to the Privacy & Security page and you will find the option under the heading Permissions.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

These are not 3rd party pop-us - see the attached images - these are Firefox, at startup, telling you about new features, options, etc

I have allowed that but I never get any recommendations; if it was a nuisance I would disallow it. See the General page of Settings, near the bottom under the heading Browsing.

? I don't understand your reply....

What does this mean? "I have allowed that but I never get any recommendations;"

Sorry. I was referring to options below the heading Browsing on the General page of Settings. Both are probably selected by default.

The first option (which I have deselected) is probably the one giving you grief. "Recommend extensions as you browse"

The second option is the one which has never resulted in a recommendation here for however long it has been there. "Recommend features as you browse"

EDIT: BTW, the 'images' you mention weren't attached. Some posters have had trouble uploading images to this site.

Yes, I unchecked both of those.... to no avail....

Made no difference.

Perhaps if you can upload screenshots here (or another site and post links), someone can identify the pop-ups.

I uploaded them to the original post

Let me try again

Mozilla has cancelled colorways so you shouldn't get that any longer. I don't understand why you are getting the other pop-up.

You could try starting Firefox in troubleshoot mode and experiment with a new profile. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles
