Hi Neil

Thank you for those screenshots, really useful.

I have copied those screens, but used the address of www.google.com (without the https). I then used the right hand android button to close Firefox. When I reopened it it worked as expected, setting the home screen in Firefox for Android to Google.

Tried. No change. I went in and several times.

Have you tried this in Firefox Preview, our new Android browser?

Does the same thing happen?

i have tried everything! else and no go. will try preview.

Ok, I hope this helps. Firefox Preview is our next generation Android browser.

I'll let you know. Do other people have this problem?

I loaded preview. I don't see an option to set the homepage.

Fair point, Firefox Preview handles the home page slightly different, but you can still set Google as a default search provider to use to search from the home screen in Firefox Preview.

I honestly do not know why this is not working for you in Firefox for Android. I can set the home page, close the app in the list of open apps (important step) and restart Firefox and the home panel will be set to the page I have entered.
