I have used Firefox for years. At 70 years old, I do not like change. As of yesterday when I open up firefox I got a completely new home page. WHY? What can I do to reinstall the old homepage. Can you send me the old download home page. thanks

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.

All I want is the ability to have my weather in the upper right hand corner of my opening screen. It was that way then you people decide for some reason that it should belong as a Widget in the lower area of my opening screen. But sense I do now want all three of your Widgets, I am left with this very awkward looking screen. Then a new update was released and my weather was returned to the upper right area of my opening screen. Then today you people updated again, and the Widget was returned to the lower left area of my opening screen.

Since you people clearly can't make up your minds, is there any possibility that you could see your way clear to offering us (your users) the ability to select where we would like the Weather the appear? Please say "Yes". Thank you.

The new Firefox Home layout wastes screen space and pushes shortcut rows lower on the page. Please provide an option to restore the previous compact layout or remove the oversized centered Firefox logo. Productivity users need density and customization, not extra empty space.

I have to reduce the screen page size down to 67% to see the entire screen.

Running Windows 11 x-64. Mozilla Firefox splash screen does not load. Even after one hour, I can still see twelve, blank "boxes". There is a continuous, left-to-right, vertical, "windscreen-wiper-like" movement within each of the twelve boxes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Mozilla Firefox, including a standalone installation. Sadly: this has not changed matters. Please see attached screenshot. Regards and thanks.

So, this is extremely minor, but if the web search widget UI scaled more fluidly, that would really help the cohesiveness of my home screen. It seems to like to snap from a 2-wide to a 4-wide size, but that leaves a gap, as seen in screenshot of the widget failing to scale to the UI resizing box.

Some Firefox update recently put that huge banner of wasted space with a Firefox logo on the top of my Home Page. Before we could go into config and take it away, but no more. This giant banner is invisible, but pushes all my tiles linking to saved pages well below the window of my laptop. Weird choice, and apparently, everyone hates it. Please good people of Mozilla, rethink this nonsense. This is a FEEDBACK, from a long longtime user and admirer of Mozilla, and a yearly donator. Have pity.

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.

In the previous version of the Firefox opening screen, I had a Google search bar. Below this would be the most popular sites I had visited in a three line grid.

Since the update, the Firefox logo and a huge amount of white space now occupies nearly half the screen before we even get get to the Google search bar. The three line grid of most recent sites has been pushed to the bottom third of the screen and the third line of the grid I actually have to scroll down to see.

On my home screen, the visited sites are all crammed to one side, lower left, and all narrow in their appearance. I prefer they look as they did before, with the "tabs" or site boxes along the bottom of my regular sites. And I can't seem to "delete" the sites I visit; I can only dismiss them. And that often doesn't work as well either.

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.
