Attached below is a screenshot of my homepage for Firefox desktop (Windows 11). I have uBlock Origin, but it doesn't block anything on the homepage. I have two specific concerns:

  • I tried inputting both gmail.com and mail.google.com addresses for the URL of my shortcut, but it always displays a generic icon instead.
  • The YouTube icon isn't transparent.

I used the same layout/theme on a previous Windows 11 install and these two problems did not occur at all. What's the possible solution for this?

How to set Firefox to open to custom homepage?

Greetings, For the past 10 years, when our company would open Firefox in Windows, it would open directly to our company Intranet. This was configured using group policy.

Last week, after our Firefox versions were all updated to version 149, every time firefox opens, it opens to the "Firefox homepage". Nothing on our end was changed.

Clicking the home button does take us to our intranet, but I cannot get firefox to open to our intranet automatically.

I went back to version 148, launched firefox, and Intranet appears.

I then let firefox auto updated to 149, and the intranet does not open automatically.

Please help. Possibly a bug?

Title: Home page widgets are missing in Firefox on Windows 11

Hello,

I'm having an issue with Firefox on Windows 11.

The widgets on the Firefox Home page are not showing. I also checked Settings, but I can't find any option related to widgets or Firefox Home customization. I've attached a screenshot showing the issue.

What I've tried:

-Restarted Firefox. -Checked Firefox Settings, but there is no widget option available. -The problem still persists.

Could someone help me understand why the widgets are missing and how I can restore them?

Thank you.

When I open firefox on my computer, it opens to a custom URL that links to a facebook page that I must've put in 5 years ago. I don't want this, and clear the link in the homepage and new windows under home in firefox settings, and switch it to firefox home (default) for "Homepage and new windows" in the firefox settings.. The problem is that when I open firefox again the next day, it opens up facebook again instead of a browser firefox tab and the "homepage and new windows" is under custom url with that facepage page url. I am a new firefox user and want to continue to use firefox but this is a headache.

I am on windows 11 home, and using a gaming tower if that is of any help.

Thank you for any help. I appreciate it :)

I recently noticed that my homepage when I open Firefox is something different from the custom URL that I have previously set. I went to settings to try and change it back, but I no longer see the option to do that.

Did mozilla take away the option to use a custom homepage or did they change the location of setting that option in the settings?
