This is a privacy issue. The fact that Firefox is set up to automatically show all pages you've viewed is a huge security flaw as well. We don't want this feature! Just look up how many people have been asking to get rid of this (for years).

Is there a simple way yet?

If yes, please let me know how. If no, I will be boycotting Firefox and will simply not use it.

Thank you for any help!

Firefox does not properly install icons to the home page shortcuts. Where are these stored so I can manually add the proper icons, or, is there another way to reliably install the proper icons? Some urls pick up the proper icon on their own, many do not. This is irritating. The email me checkbox at the bottom of this page is non functional.

Hello,

I believe that the latest update either has a bug or a new feature that I don’t like. In the past when I went to the homescreen from a search or a website and closed and reopened the browser then it was still in the homescreen. However now when I do the same it always opens the latest search or website that I was in. I would like to have a setting to turn this off unless I missed the setting for it. I would like to add a video of me demonstrating this but for some reason you only have option to add pictures.

Kind regards, Simo

Since a recent update to iOS, my Firefox app no longer shows a "Home" icon at the bottom of the page. As a result, it is extremely difficult to go back to my home page. I've tried every possible way I can think of in Settings to restore the Home icon. This is VERY frustrating and causes a huge waste of time. Does anyone have a solution. If I can't resolve this, I'm going to be forced to switch to Safari.

For the past two days, when I tap on Firefox Focus app on my Home Screen and enter my passcode (which I have done many times daily for several years to compete in a game app), it keeps taking me to Google. Why is it not opening Firefox Focus? Help!

How can I get Firefox Focus app on my Home Screen to open? For two or three days now, after entering my passcode, rather than going to Firefox Focus, takes me to Google. I have played a competitive game app I have on Firefox Focus for years. Suddenly I can no longer access it directly through Firefox Focus. Image below is what appears when I go to Firefox Focus and enter my passcode. The main game I play opens in Google rather than Firefox Focus.

do not want a website as my home page - prefer Firefox default as I had before restart, however when I go to Settings, Home page is set to Firefox default but it does not work -- how else can I have my home page back to default. If you send my link I can probably drag it there hopefully. Thank you

No matter how many times I visit Amazon.com, it WILL NOT show up on my Home Screen as an ICON. I have tried 2 Rows and 4 Rows. I visit amazon many times in a week, sometimes many times in a day and it never shows up on the Home Screen after my last Firefox Upgrade to 142.0. Before the upgrade, it was always on my Home Screen. I have deleted many ICONS hoping it would somehow fill in as I visit Amazon - but it's not happening.

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Hello,

Usage of FF Klar has, for the most part, been a delight so far. A real annoyance is the limitation of only four sites can be added/stored to Shortcuts. As a sanity check, I tried using FF Focus, with the same results. Please remove this limitation from Klar and Focus. Thanks & Regards, Mike.

After Firefox update on August 14 the top area of browser started jumping continually so I did a restart. After restart had to reinstall Trusteer and McAfee Webadvisor. However my home page changed to Google and I don't want google as my home page. Cant remember what it was before (believe about:home or something similar). When I go to Settings Search and change search to DuckDuck it changed both the address bar and search bar. I am find with Google in Search bar but was my home page to go back to what it was and not Google. I am a senior and not highly computer savvy - please help and list steps so I can not have Google when I open Firefox browser. Thank you
