QuickTabs is acting differently and totally messed up my home page. why can't i move an icon the way i used to? what is meant by the phrase "pinned area" that shows up in the upper left corner when i try to move an icon? are there some new settings that i don't know about yet?

it is not acting the way the attached picture shows. i've also attached a gif that better shows what i mean.

if you can point me to some documentation, i would be grateful.

I just launched Firefox and was greeted with an advertisement for Firefox. The URL was https://www.firefox.com/en-US/m/friends/

Other than bringing myself back to a different browser, is there a way to block Firefox's own advertisements.

How can I start Firefox and open new tabs with specific URLs?

Firefox settings let me set a home page URL, which is opened when I click on the home button. However, Firefox always opens with the Firefox Home page, and the only new-tab options are a blank page or the Firefox Home.

Previously, I could set a URL for startup and for new tabs. This 2025 tech page describes it:

https://www.techbloat.com/how-to-set-firefox-to-open-with-a-different-page.html

All of the other browsers that I have tried allow me to set the startup URL and the new tab URL. Firefox has apparently been changed to eliminate those options. Please bring them back!

Thanks,

Sam

I always use C Cleaner to clear unneeded my unneeded data once a month. It does not usually affect my Firefox shortcuts on the Firefox homepage. It was also after Firefox had updated to version 158.0 . I did this on Wednesday (14th October) and all of my pinned Firefox shortcuts have gone missing. They have not come back, and no other shortcuts are being shown after I have since visited any websites. What has happened to them? Will this be corrected? Regards John

Why is about:home is completely blank? Updating to Firefox 153.03Beta made it all disappear. Must I reinstall Windows-XI for this user-interface not loading anything that has been updated on Firefox 155.03Beta? I will attempt an optimization and see if that does anything. If it does, I will close this; but if not, it is quite some new bug.
