I would like to disable the automatic creation/pinning of shortcut tiles for recently visited websites on the Firefox Home / New Tab page, while keeping my full browsing history (Ctrl+H) saved in the browser background.

Currently, even when toggling options on the about:preferences#home page, visited sites continue to automatically generate shortcut tiles on the home screen unless the entire history is turned off.

Is there a setting, hidden about:config preference, or workaround to completely prevent recent sites from automatically populating the shortcut grid while keeping full browsing history active?

Thank you!

The new feature Sports Widget is too generic does not even state what sports which game is it. Each individual will always have his/her preferred sports they follow so this needs a lot of improvements.

When I open a new tab in Firefox for Android I would prefer to have the "focus" immediately in the address bar. Then the keyboard would open automatically. Now, I always have to click in the address bar first. I think this has newly changed. Could it be undone?

once again, you change shit whether people like it or not... when I open firefox in private mode, the default opening tab is "about:privatebrowsing"... I have no fucking need of this tab - does anyone??? please provide step-by-step instructions as to how to eliminate this useless piece of shit...

Suddenly, I have problems with new tabs. I have FF 159.0 and Windows 11, and the latest version of New Tab Override. Still, no matter what I do (and I have tried a lot), having set New Tab to be Google Search (https://www.google.com), when I click new tab or deleting last tab, I get my last search screen, not Google Search.. It worked like a charm two days ago..

Please, anyone, what the heck have i done?

In the recent updates,the ability of having the keyboard automatically popping up has been removed.

This has been a frustration for me because it was so intuitive and smooth.

Please add it back.

Two months (or something) ago this behavior was changed. Whenever you create a new tab, the search bar is not focused anymore.

Is it possible to change that back again to the previous behavior? New tab should automatically focus the search bar

Most up to date firefox version, on new page i try to customise using the customise pencil icon, i try to change image to jpg files image or firefox own wallpapers and it won't work; themes of top bar are working. Not tried changing with theme (i.e. wallpaper theme), but presume that may work, also i tried undoing the themes and contrast stuff as mentioned online, but still not working and I also tried restarting firefox, but still same issue.

This bug started after update from 158.0.1 to 159... I've changed nothing between... At first launch my speed dial/home page (about:home) starts normally. But if i open a new tab it is just blank. No speed dial, no icons... Nothing. I tried Troubleshoot Mode but it didn't solve the problem.

On my Firefox Home Page, I selected two rows of PINNED shortcuts. Each time I open a webpage that webpage is added not only to the two selected rows of shortcuts, but "keeps" EVERY webpage selected after filling the two selected shortcut rows. It is not only annoying and inconvenient, but s l o w s work time to a crawl around these shortcuts ... few, if any, are helpful. If I want to re-entry an UNPINNED shortcuts, I go to history and select the one I want. WHEN is Fire Fox to solve this seemingly simple but annoying problem?

I no longer have the shortcuts available when I open the firefox browser. I would like to have that again but don't know how to do it. I have tried googling it but I can't get past the Settings link--Home and start up

what happened to the add (+) button next to shortcuts? Now , you must select "Add a Shortcut" from another shortcut ... improving Firefox, hardly! So, now, I have to become a "geek" to add the button back ... was the button hurting someone or not aesthetically pleasing ??? Firefox can no longer claim to be "user friendly" ... too many convenient "pluses" have been torched and, in its place, a DIY solution ... WAKE UP! ... loyal Firefox users will be deserting the ship as YOU put more holes in the hull ...

When clicking on a link to a story in Ten Tabs, many times the link leads to a site with a paywall. It is not because I have reached the maximum amount of stories read on the site.

How can I make when I'm opening empty tab, it's hidden until I open link in it? On firefox, when I'm clicking "+" button, I'm opening empty tab where I can choose sites to open, but I need to hide this empty tab until I search something or open link in it. There's screenshot of another browser where how I need to be.

PC is using Windows 10. My software is up to date. Chrome and other browsers do not show any issues when browsing. I have reinstalled Firefox. My Firefox app works fine on my Android mobile. I have also set up a new profile in Firefox.
