Can't change default search or homepage
I want to change my default search engine to Bing (as I used to have it) and for Bing to be my homepage that opens when I select a new tab (as I used to have it.)

Dzień dobry. Kiedy otwieram nową kartę mam napis "Ostatnia aktywność" i cztery rzędy w których powinny zjawiać się ikonki ostatnio przeze mnie przeglądanych stron. Tak było do czasu, kiedy użyłam CCleaner-a7 (nowej wersji) - nic mi się tam już nie wyświetla. Proszę o pomoc.

Windows 10 firefox ver: Version 143.0.1 (64-bit)
side note: this issue is also on my laptop w11
Hi, When I click on a new tab + it goes to a blank page. How can I make the new tab + the page I want to start at?
Anyone got any ideas for persuading firefox to show the logo of the sites rather than their first letter - which in many cases is T as in The!

Guess I started out wrong , I have a new Win 11 computer with firefox installed , on my old Win 7 firefox machine a new tab always shows several news stories and recently visited sites . How do I get this new computer to also do the same ?
Thanks ! Ken
When I open Firefox there are endless "news feeds" available. How can I eliminate ones I don't want?

Q: Homepage and Tabs allows URLs; New Tabs offers only Blank and Firefox Home (Default)
Any way for New Tabs to also have a URL? Why not?
Thanks.

The browser is set up to display AccuWeather forecast based on location. Up to date it displayed forecast correctly. But today it displays Frankfurk-am-Main. When I try to change location, it only searches among german cities. Any help will be appreciated. Here are some screenshots that show listing german cities and no vpn and my exact location.

I have been an avid (make that RABID) Firefox user and advocate for more than a decade. I recently had to wipe my hard drive and am still going through the painful process of putting things back the way I like them.
Firefox is (was?) my preferred and default browser. I use other browsers only when forced to for work or when Firefox doesn't function with certain apps.
Now, the new version of Firefox does not allow me to set my own home page. I have a choice of Firefox or blank for new tabs. Yes, I can click on the Home icon to get to my preferred home page... but that's another step. Why?
It's only one day in, but honestly, I'm seriously thinking about moving to another browser that doesn't require me to MANUALLY click a home icon to get where I want. WTF?
Whatever you say, you've made it super difficult for this loyal user.

I've been a very long time Firefox user, and have for many years been aghast at how prominently Firefox promotes a virulently antisemitic paper called "The Guardian" on its recommended stories. Every time I see it, I thumbs it down, and have been doing so for years, hoping that eventually the algorithm would stop recommending that junk to me. I have NEVER clicked a link to "The Guardian" from the recommended stories page either, not even once. I'll often see 2-3 links from this virulently antisemitic paper and thumb each one down. Why does the algorithm keep recommending it to me? I know that I can turn off Recommended stories, however I like the content, and have found a lot of interesting stuff through it. Why is Firefox relentlessly pushing Nazis propaganda?
(If you don't think The Guardian pushes virulently antisemitic Nazi propaganda, I would be happy to share links demonstrating how it does exactly that, but since this is a new account, I don't want the algorithm to think I'm spamming.)

How can I customize recommended stories so that only articles that require a sign-in to be viewed not be shown to me. If I see a story title that looks interesting and I select it and a sign in page immediately pops up (all of which I do not wish to sign up for just to read a short article) then it feels like another privacy grab.

I am trying to set up a new computer. I have customized the homepage and new windows to a preferred page, however I cannot customize the new tab settings. The only options for a new tab are either Firefox homepage or blank page. I am trying to find a way to have my preferred homepage open when I open a new tab.
How can i get Thought-provoking stories out of home page????
I had previously set an image as the default wallpaper for my homepage but it has not persisted.
