I signed onto my parents computer that was assigned to a school district and now everytime I open firefox on any of my devices their website keeps popping up. I've signed out of their computer and have tried deleting and reopening my account, and nothing seems to work.

Since the settings haven't given that option for years, the best way to have a local file as the new tab page was using autoconfig.cfg + autoconfig.js, as described in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1251199 But since the most recent update (v136.0), this stopped working.

The New Tab Override add-on has its own issues with using local files (can only load a .html file, no local CSS/JS, can't give a blank address bar for me to search in), so it doesn't solve the issue either.

This is very important to me, and others have been asking for this feature back for years. It feels awful to have the working solution stop working, in the browser that's supposed to be open and customizable.

I'm trying to diagnose an unusual problem on a relative's computer elsewhere in the country via TeamViewer. When Firefox is initiated, the same picture (a man taking a shower) appears, and the VERY 'long URL starts with a Yahoo image file (yimg) and also contains buzzfeed.com well into that URL. I thought I could easily diagnose this, and have failed. Home page is set to blank page. I cleared all browsing data. When that failed I exported bookmarks, created a new profile, and the problem still continued, even before importing the bookmarks or adding any extensions. Something is retaining the unwanted startup behavior. Tonight, out of desperation, I will reconnect and look through the registry.

Can anyone surmise why an unwanted URL is being invoked upon Firefox startup?

Hi This issue started today. When I’m in Firefox on my iphone14 and go to the search line my shortcuts and bookmarks, etc are now in the background. How can I bring everything back so that it’s all accessible when I use the search line? The only way I can access everything in the background, is by opening a new window.

Why has the content provided on the Firefox homepage gone so extremely liberal? It appears to be more of a source for tabloid trash than a source for factual news, honest articles and positive content! After recommending this platform for years, I am appalled by the apparent intent to present divisive articles and rhetoric. Suggest you do a better job of choosing information that will make Firefox excel over Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge... not rool in the mud with them!

I have a GPO policy that sets Homepage for startup to open specific URL, and now it just stopped working after last update to version 149, instead i get standard FF startpage.

- tried updating .admx templates to the newest version

- about:policies shows correctly that GPO is enforced

Everything checks out but somehow it is not working anymore. Someone with similar problem?

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
