Suddenly I cannot search from the search bar. It defaults to the address bar. why "fix" something that was not broken. Being forced to use the address bar is frustrating. If you go directly to the address bar, it tells you it cannot find that site.

I'm trying to add the world cup tracker to my home screen, but when i click the link, it just puts me in my new tab page with no changes. When I click the pencil edit icon, widgets are not an option for me. Is there a place I need to enable them?

On new tab, all my added short cuts are gone and it doesn't let me add any. For example I want to have a shortcut to say... Amazon, but when I type or paste in the url, it still doesn't add it and the add button goes blue, not white. I have the shortcut feature turned on

Morning, I dont know why but before i reset my pc i had a sport widget with all the other widgets, but after the reset i redownloaded firefox and got back all the widgets exept the sport one, any way i can fix this issue please? Thx in advance

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?

I do not care to see the "widgits" on my desktop opening page. It appeared a few days ago. I do not want to be obligated to its appearance there. A User of FoxFire should be given the opportunity to elect to have it or not. I do not remember reading that it was going to appear. I was concerned when it first appeared. Does it have to be there??? [edited email from community support forum]

Guess I started out wrong , I have a new Win 11 computer with firefox installed , on my old Win 7 firefox machine a new tab always shows several news stories and recently visited sites . How do I get this new computer to also do the same ?

                  Thanks !  Ken

When opening a new page in Firefox I am shown a few widgets.

It shows the time of sports events and different timezones. But it shows this in a non-local time format - the 12 hour format (so it says 06:00 PM instead of 18:00).

In about:config I found a setting called "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.widgets.clocks.hourFormat" but what are the acceptable formats to use here? It's not a boolean value, and by default nothing is there. I tried writing 24, HH:mm, and some other things, but didn't notice a difference.

I would be SO HAPPY if you could add an option under new tab in settings so you can set new tab to a URL or upload a static site! Currently, you can set Firefox home to a custom URL, but you can only set new tab to a blank page or the "Firefox home" page. It would be good if you added an option to upload a static site and add the URL option for new tab too! I want this because I have actually made my own static site custom new tab page, but I can't actually use it. =(

Since update yesterday, new tab is empty. Whatever I do, open new tab, open new window, go to `about:newtab` manually, it does not load anything. The view is totally blank. I can navigate to other pages fine as it should though. Only New Tab view is broken. Diagnostic mode does not work. I don't have plugins that would affect New Tab anyways.
