Firefox Community Forum

I don't know which topic describes my question. I want to put the New York Times as a short cut on my firefox home page and it won't do it. For a bit of history, I USED to have the short cut and one day it was removed by Firefox when it re-arranged things.

Startseite: Meine Einstellung in Firefox = Leere Seite

Firefox startet aber immer mit "browser.services" !! (browser.services/?B=FH&id=20416)  !

Diese Seite wird von meinem Viren-Scanner Norton 360 aber als gefährlich eingestuft !! Wo und wie finde ich dieses Programm "browser.services" und wie kann ich es abstellen?!

Hello! Firefox doesn't load the designated starting page I listed. It starts on the general overview. I have this issue since the last update. Refreshing or deinstalling didn't fix the issue. The desired page is also listed as start page under about:config as starting page Thank you in advance for your help

I'm unable to set the content of Homepage and/or New Window, it opens blank every time. It doesn't matter if I try FF Home Default, Custom URLs (either current page or use bookmark).

Oddly the New Tabs open as I've configured (for now w/DDG search - but any settings I use for new tabs all work as expected). If it even matters I use minimal add-ons/extensions...but these haven't changed more than a year...

I don't know why Firefox made my homepage so messy, with so many junk suggestions. It used to be a lot of thoughtful / interesting stuff about science / nature / health / politics / philosophy think-pieces and now it is all just "(unkown celebrity name) clashes with (council) over (something I don't care about)" or "(american president) shocks defense community with late night Truth Social Screed (BROUGHT TO YOU BY TABLOID PAYWALL)." Everything is suddenly UK only, and it is all from the Metro, the Mirror, the Independent or Sky News. I never, ever read any of that. I am sometimes in the UK, but not now. And my VPN is never set there.

I don't want to block whole themes - Health? I might be interested in some of that, but I don't need ten stories from the UK health sector gumming up my feed every day. Food? I used to occasionally get good recipes on the home page, but now it's a whole section of choco-banoffie protein smoothies and fried chicken, which I would never, ever click on or prepare. Money? All of these things have potentially interesting options, so I don't want to block them, but I'm definitely not interested in getting loads more of any of it.

Is there any way to go back to region neutral 'this is interesting' stuff? I find the current home page to be really unpleasant.

La version initiale présentait une page d'accueil personnelle.

La nouvelle (depuis quelque temps) chamboule tout.

Comment faire pour la retrouver et la figer ?

Merci.

A couple days ago I started getting a blank page for the Firefox home page. FF is set as my default browser and FF default for windows and tabs. The home page was working fine but now I can't figure out how to get it back.

The icons/shortcuts on my homepage are getting moved around, added to, or deleted despite my having pinned all of the shortcuts that I want. All 4 rows of shortcuts have been filled with my pinned ones. Now Firefox is deleting/moving the last 2 on the lower right and inserting 2 new and irrelevant ones in positions 2 and 3 of the top row. This is annoying and frustrating. Thanks for any help.

I linked Google to open when I enter my Firefox browser and I want to delete Google and learn Firefox but I can’t get out of Google. How do I unlink it. From where ?

Home page bookmarks are missing. I am not able to add bookmarks on the home page either. But if I click on the top search bar, all of my missing bookmarks appear, but just a miniaturized version. Please restore the original home page layout.

So at one point Firefox asked me if I wanted to have Gmail on my desktop toolbar so I could open it without opening Firefox. Stupidly, I said, "Sure, sounds nice." Later, I realized I do not like this option because now when I open Firefox, it cannot open Gmail as the first tab that opens which is my preference. Now I open Firefox, and instead of opening my Gmail as the first thing I see, I only get to see the Gmail logo and loading screen which never fills, which never opens Gmail. And I want Firefox to open straight up into my Gmail page, I don't want to watch it try and fail. So I removed the desktop toolbar icon that Firefox made when it offered me. But that didn't fix anything. Still, now if I open Firefox, I just get Gmail loading bar, never filling, never showing me my nice page. Help!!

Hi,

I have changed homepage in the settings section, but, on first starting up firefox i get the Google homepage as my initial screen. I really dont want this, so i have checked everything, changed homepage url, removed google search option, and even checked the shortcut and .exe properties, and none of them point to google, yet it still persists. Is there any way to stop this happening please.

Further to this, if i open a new tab i get the firefox page, and when i click home it opens my saved homepage url.
