My browser has been hacked by searchingswift.com, I've read all the article's I can find on getting rid of it with no luck. I've completely uninstalled everything including the mistake that brought it in (Coverseen miss pick file), but no luck.

Here's what I get after a complete reinstall and deleting any Firefox stuff I can find.

"https://searchingswift.com/?path=firefox/newtab&u=ee6fb4108559ab17&subid=11119&channel=1"

I'm getting ready to do a backup from a month ago, but I'm not sure if this will come back in with my Firefox sign in.

Just updated to 139.0.1 and got a surprise. My New Tab Favorites Icons now have Push Pins in their upper left corners, leaving less space for the icons, so of course my icons are now smaller than before. Why do the people maintaining the system at Mozilla keep messing with the New Tabs? Last time, they thought they needed to include a large image of the Firefox icon, again shrinking the remaining screen real estate for my icons. That got fixed. Now they decided each favorite icon needs a rather large push pin to indicate that it belongs there. Somebody thought this would be a good idea? Why can't they just leave it alone?

I'm posting two screenshot images of my New Tab screen. You will know which is before and which is after.

Recently, when I open a new tab in Firefox (Windows) I started getting a drop-down box for Google instead of shield, lock, and sliders followed by the query/address bar. See attachment. I have no way to drag and drop this search query address. If I follow this by clicking on the search icon in the Google query field below, I get the normal Firefox address bar with the lock icon and the ability to save the query address by dragging and dropping the lock icon. How can I get back to the normal Firefox browsing address bar.

The weather widget on my FireFox homepage, as well as the information when I type "weather" into the address bar shows me as in Montreal QC, Canada. But I am in New Hampshire, USA. When I try to type a different city name after clicking the 3 dots next to the widget and choosing change location the only cities that come up are Canadian cities.

I am not running any kind of VPN, and when I check my location with an IP lookup it shows me in the correct location, my locale settings in Windows are set the the US as well.

Thanks for any help!

I've unchecked all three boxes, but the two sub-boxes stay checked and the sponsored stories and links continue to appear even though I unchecked the boxes. See attached image. How do I disable? Why can't I uncheck these boxes? I was actually just trying to disable it for a few, not all of my computers, but, now that it's being forced on me, I'm a bit unhappy with Firefox. I've supported, promoted, and used them for years but now they seem to be following the same path of other prying browsers. :(

I would like to browse the archive of articles that appear with a fresh set every day on the Firefox home screen. Is the archive available? If not, can Firefox make it available for all the users? I am sure that I am not the only one interested in browsing the archive of articles and reading those that interest them.

I used to have an image (dark, stormy sky) in my new tabs, that appeared as a background to my grid of websites (8 columns x 4 rows). Suddenly, I haven't seen it today - just noticed that it's just black. Can't seem to find where to access the different images. Would like the path to find it, or learn if it's no longer available or if I can make my own. Thanks.

Hello, I just recently installed the Firefox Mobile stable version, after using the beta version for a long time. one thing that annoys me a bit is that when opening a new tab (plus sign) or going into the search bar directly, the focus is on the search bar and the shortcut area is greyed out. When I want to select a shortcut, I have to press twice, once in the general area, then on the shortcut itself. In the beta, the area was not greyed out and the shortcuts were only one click away, instead of two.

Is this the expected behavior in the stable version? And is there a way to change it?

Best regards

I updated my firefox to Version 143.0.4 (64-bit). (I am using Mac). I was trying to change my wallpaper, so I went to the pencil and customize part of the new tab, and when I look at the wallpaper thing, I just see that it says "Reset to default". I didn't see any of the things that said upload image or any of that. just reset to default. I really wanted to change my wallpaper, so is there something I'm missing or something?
