My shortcuts no longer appear on my homepage. This just started happening. Shortcuts are still enabled in my settings. I refreshed Firefox. The shortcuts reappeared for a while, then disappeared again when I closed/reopened Firefox. I am on Windows 11 O/S

After using the "recent browsing" menu in the top left corner of FF and opening certain websites from the "import tabs from other devices" menu it has completely broken a handful of websites on my PC entirely, even using other browsers.

The page will load but no content is displayed, no links or media, just a blank white page. This is consistent among these websites even among other browsers including Chrome and Edge.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF multiple times, cleared cache/history, hard PC resets, refreshed FF, Uninstalled and reinstalled every browser. The issue persists.

These websites still function perfectly fine on mobile FF and Chrome. I've exhausted website permissions, app permissions, etc. The issue still persists. These websites were functioning just minutes before I tried importing them from the other devices tabs. Something about that functionality has completely broken them on my PC.

Previously, I had my firefox homepage configured to not show shortcuts or recently visited websites, as I feel it is clutter. However, recently, shortcuts have re-appeared, with no option to disable/hide them in the homepage settings (Settings > Homepage only shows Stories, Wallpaper, and app Opening Screen; see attached image). Wondering if this is a feature that was removed (if so, would love to see this reverted), if it is a bug that needs fixing, or I'm missing something.

Why doesn't Firefox recognize my correct location? It gives me the weather for Chicago, IL on my homepage. I don't live in IL. MS Windows and Edge have my correct location, so why doesn't Firefox?

I have tried to change weather location on my Firefox homepage by putting in the correct town and state, then hitting the search icon but nothing happens, although once I was redirected to the AcuWeather site.

This is not that big a deal as I can get my weather on my Samsung phone, but it is puzzling.

Thanks for your time--Maureen

Accessing pinned favorites issue re-occurring

When I launch Firefox iOS for mobile and press on any of my pinned favorites, nothing happens. To actually access the pinned favorites or recently accessed browser pages it is now a 3-step process instead of 1. The first step is to press AND hold the favorite you want to access. When depressed, a menu of options appears which gives the user the option to choose “Open in new tab.” When the “Open in New Tab” option is chosen a blue banner appears below that reads “Open in new tab” at which point the favorite or recently visited site opens up. This had been going on for months until about a week ago but is back again and it is annoying!!!

I've pinned several websites to the Firefox icon in the taskbar by dragging the padlock icon on the left of the address bar and dropping it on the Firefox icon in the taskbar. Right click the icon to see them.

Is there any way I can edit the names to something more meaningful (see screenshot)?

The favicons on my homepage are not appearing when I launch Firefox, and I can't find any way to restore them. Turning the favicons on/off in the settings doesn't help, it just moves the location of the search bar. I've included some images to better illustrate the problem.

Is there any way we can restore the favicons?

I am trying to download videos from a site that I newly subscribed to. The videos do stream perfectly. The files do not download as video files and will not open at all. When I click on the download link, there is no recognition of a download happening and when I check my files later I have an "internet" file showing with a title but without a video file extension and nothing will open. The file extension is ".html". I am following the step by step instructions from the site involved. Other sites videos are downloading as expected.

Does firefox need to be my default browser? Any suggestions how to remedy this without losing what is working? Are there plug-ins that can address this issue?

Thanks.

On a new tab page, I have unselected "recommended stories" and added four rows of shortcuts. Almost invariably, when I open a new tab, Firefox has added a couple of new shortcuts, bumping two of mine off the page. The shortcuts I've selected are the ones I want. I would like Firefox to stop making suggestions. Does anyone know if that's possible, and, if so, how do you do it?
