Firefox Community Forum

There are a lot of news sources on the home page which require registration or have a political bent that I do not want to see. How do I remove a source such as CNN or The Guardian from displaying. I do not want to see their content ever.

Pretty simple. Every time I click any "news" link on my home page in Firefox it always runs into a pay wall. This is crap as these losers get a hit count to their site, get to load ads (for some people), and so on but I don't get to read the article. And who know s what kinda crap they are dumping into my cache. This needs to be fixed or the "feature" removed. This is basic privacy shit not included in a browser that tries to brag about privacy features.....

Trying to read the news articles, find something interesting, only for it to be sub-walled or pay-walled.... Been reporting them for over a year, nothing seems to change. I'd imagine a simple script would be able to open these links one at a time and detect a pay/sub-wall immediately and 86 it from the line-up..... You'd think.... But I also think it's safe for us to assume the reason they don't bother fixing this consistent, widely-encountered issue, is because they acquire coinage for unique hits on those pages. It's disappointing AF, because we all know they could fix it with EASE. That is all.

When opening a new page in Firefox I am shown a few widgets.

It shows the time of sports events and different timezones. But it shows this in a non-local time format - the 12 hour format (so it says 06:00 PM instead of 18:00).

In about:config I found a setting called "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.widgets.clocks.hourFormat" but what are the acceptable formats to use here? It's not a boolean value, and by default nothing is there. I tried writing 24, HH:mm, and some other things, but didn't notice a difference.

Please help to Dismiss the 'Stuck" Amazon icon on the main search page!

I can't dismiss it !

Please see the yellow highlighted circle with an arrow pointing to the Amazon icon.

Thanks!!

You can block types of contact you follow on the tab content page but you cannot block specific sources of that content. For example, I don't want to see any content from NBC, so how can I block that source?

Hello,

I just downloaded v153.0.4 and now there are no wallpapers on my New Tabs or Home Page. No custom url for new tabs either and the Firefox Home is a blank page.

What's up with that?

Hello. When I open a new tab page, all 6 panels below keep scrolling right like their not loading correctly. I have tried everything to make this go away since it is very distracting. Any ideas of how to fix?

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?

After reinstalling Firefox due to it being slow, no matter what settings, Firefox always opens and focuses on a new unwanted tab. But only if there are no extra tabs open except for my 5 pinned ones.

This behaviour started before I installed any Extensions.

How can I stop this?

Hi, On previous releases of firefox I could load 8 items across the home display. After upgrading I can only get 5 items and I can't find a way to increase this. I'm a new user so maybe I'm just dumb but I would appreciate some help. linux/ubuntu/firefox desktop. mike_a

Even when I open a new tab in Firefox, the focus remains on the address bar. I'd like to know how to fix this. When I open a new tab, the address bar gets the focus, which I find inconvenient. Is there a way or setting to prevent the address bar from getting the focus and instead focus on the search box in the middle? I've searched online and tried the "settings in about:config" suggested in the search results, but it didn't solve the problem. Is it impossible? Firefox 153.0.3 64it
