How to refresh News Panel in Android

I just switched to ff from chrome on both desktop and phone as well, and I was very pleased to discover how much ff has to offer. My question is: how do I see new news on the "News" panel which can be accessed from the home page on the right top (see pic attached). The contents are various, which is good and I understand I have to train it first to know my interests, which is not a problem. However, since installing (about a week ago) I have not seen anything new there. The pull to refresh is not working, there is no button I can press. I even thought I have to open them to sort of knock them out from the row, but that would be silly. But even after opening and reading the full article, upon returning to the panel, the same article is still there... 🤔 So, no news for me 😅 Is this a bug? Chrome got soo bloated with AI like Windows and has as many adverts like Facebook, so I looked for an alternative. Ff looked promising and after switching to Linux from Windows, it came as preinstalled browser. Ff is an old acquaintance, I have used it back in the time from since it was launched. Even then it was a better option, than Internet Explorer. We all get hijacked now and again to the new and shiny alternatives (hence the change to Cromer some time ago). But when the new and shiny is not so shiny anymore... Anyways, please help me out in where I'm missing something. The experience is very nice in any other way and extra medal for giving us the option to tailor AI features and not just cramming them down our throats. I am including a screenshot from the most recent chrome browser for Android to see the cramming and the layout. There a simple pull to refresh does the job.

Thank you for reading my rambling Kind Regards Zsanett

I set up a Collection to which I added several news websites. However, when I click on one of the websites, it takes me to the wrong site. Example: I have 5 sites saved: A, B, C, D. and E. When I click on A, it takes me to B. I have deleted the Collection several times and tried adding the same websites back into a new collection, but the same thing happens again. The same problem occurs to another Collection set up for some other websites. Thanks for any assistance!

I pinned 8 websites in my homepage shortcuts. After pinning, their icons were matching the websites. Like when I added Moneycontrol's website to shortcuts, its icon looked good, but after 1 day or a few hours its icon changed to "M". This has happened many times. I tried many different methods but I did not find a solution. I request you to please fix this. I really like your service, everything is good, just please fix this one thing.

I am experiencing an issue where my saved Collections are not appearing on the Firefox Homepage (New Tab page), even though they clearly exist in the system.

The Issue: When I attempt to add a page to a collection, the "Select collection" overlay correctly shows my existing categories: Read Later, News, and Gemini.

The Discrepancy: When I return to the Firefox Homepage, the Collections section is completely missing. Only "Shortcuts" are visible.

Troubleshooting done: I have verified that I have active tabs saved within these collections (as seen in the attached screenshots), but the homepage remains empty below the shortcuts.
