If I open a new window this link is the first thing that open automatically.

The only two new tab choices in Settings are only "Firefox Home (default)" and "Blank page". Is there a way to change this?

My last laptop let me use www.google.com as the home page in both new windows and new tabs, but on this new thinkpad running Firefox 141 I can only choose that for new windows and not for new tabs.

Thanks!

As of Updating to 142.0.1 (64 bit, Windows 10) yesterday, the Home Page / New Tab page now has DOZENS of RECOMMENDED STORIES under different Topics, instead of the former more compact and manageable grid or 15 or 18 items.

Under SETTINGS - HOME - RECOMMENDED STORIES it seems you can only toggle RECOMMENDED STORIES ON or OFF.

On the Home / New Tab page itself, you can only Select whether to FOLLOW or BLOCK Topics. The page is now TOO LONG and much TOO BUSY and not worth endlessly Scrolling to find the two or three articles of possible interest.

QUESTION: Where is, or Why is there Not, an Option for the former "Legacy" RECOMOMENDED STORIES? The Alternative is to turn RECOMMENDED STORIES OFF - which defeats the purpose of supporting your News or Advertisers to Support MOZILLA.

The Display Options for SHORTCUTS offers choices of 2 rows, 3 rows, etc ... Why Not an Option for RECOMMENDED STORIES limiting to a fixed number as well ?

Thank you for your consideration ...

Cannot get rid of non starred icons on Firefox's new tab home page.

Nowhere is there an article that actually works.

Articles that mention right click, get three dots (...), and choose "remove" do not apply. My dropdown list box does not give any kind of "remove" choice. Hence, articles incorrect.

I have starred icons, okay. (Do NOT like the new Firefox with that clutter) I have picked up one non starred icon I cannot get rid of (Not nice of Firefox to eliminate ability to remove icons)

Would love to give screen shots. BUT, cannot get screen shot to be saved in a format that "Browse..." accepts.

So, I'm stuck with that rogue icon I cannot get rid of.

I have used Firefox on my PC for ever (10-15 years). Yahoo was set to be my home page so I can get to my email. Starting 5-6 days ago when I click Mozilla Firefox on my task bar it opens a white (blank) page, no yahoo (but it shows yahoo.com in the address bar). I can go to my book marks and got them or type in a URL and go there OK. But, to see my mail I have to open Google Chrome to get to yahoo and log in. If I'm on Firefox and get the blank screen, then go to another URL from my bookmarks then type in yahoo.com it goes back to a blank screen that shows https://www.yahoo.com/ in the address.

Title, i really don't want that small icon on every new tab. You can move it in toolbar customization , but you can't remove it completely. It loads automatically when opening any tab at all , so i see it for a split second. It really bugs me.

On your homepage there are 24 news articles... is it asking too much to have 12 of them from non-far-left news agencies instead of the 20 far-left and 4 neutral? Or maybe you don't care about the 50+ percent of right leaning customers. Need a Bud-Light lesson?

In the main page (new tab), upper right corner the weather is displayed. However, in my case it shows Paris, France. Been there! - but not in 40years.

the three dots beside the location open a search bar that does nothing. i enter my location... does nothing entered my zipcode... does nothing.

restarted my browser ..... no avail restarted my pc ... no avail

cleared cookies ... then restarted browser ... no avail

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.

Hi there,

I'm wondering if there is any support team or moderators who are in charge of the Recommended stories on the Firefox New Tab now that Pocket support has ended?

Is there any guidance or point of contact for websites featuring (or wanting to feature) in the Recommended section - like with Google Discover or Apple News?

Thanks so much!

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.

How can I permanently fix the quick links on my new page can I permanently fix the quick links on my new page

Some of the links in the attached image I added. Others that I added have disappeared and have been replaced randomly by Firefox.

In the New Tab Home Page weather widget does not detect current location, and when I try to search any location from my Country Pakistan, it does not detect any city location.

Since the newest wave of firefox updates my icons on startup are gone. When i click new tab they show up again or when restarting the page. I tried reinstalling firefox & changing icons with no help. The previous update before 141.0 had no issues. I tried searching around and didn't find anything helpful. Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?

Hello!

Is there a way to get the icons for Shortcuts on the New Tab page to update their image to show the pinned site's favicon, instead of the Firefox default icons, without manually updating all of them in the "Edit" menu for the icon?

It seems like they should update automatically, like your bookmarks in the Bookmarks menu do, when you visit the site.

I read another Discussion where they said to delete some favicon files in %AppData% > Roaming > Mozilla > Profiles , but those steps did not work for me.

Thanks!
