I want to make myMSN ( URL is www.msn.com/?pc=U506&ocid=U506DHp ) my Firefox Home Page. I have tried all the suggested methods but apparently I'm not doing something correctly because none of them have worked. The closest I've come to success is pasting the URL in the Home Page option in Firefox Settings, but I can't get it to stay there. There is no "SAVE" button to click on. My old computer (running Windows 10) had no trouble setting myMSN as my Firefox Home Page but this new computer running Windows 11 is making it extremely hard (impossible so far). I have tried following suggested methods step-by-step but without success. Please help.

If I enter file:///d:/web/index.html in the search box then it returns the expected web page but if I edit it into a Firefox home page shortcut then I'm told a valid URL is required. A bit of research here makes me think I need to edit policies.json but I can't find that file in Windows 10, Firefox 139.0.1. I note that the posts giving the advice are six years old and Firefox has changed greatly since then. Please could someone tell me the current method to achieve what I want?

How can I adjust my Pocket selections so that I never see another prompt for Darius Firoux? I am sick of seeing a link to his inane drivel keep popping up on my screen and having to dismiss it. What is the point of having suggestions presented to me if they are not only shit, but that I have to repeatedly tell you that they are shit and that I have no interest in reading that shit. Thanks.
