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?

Title.

Keyboard focus properly defaults to the address bar for new normal windows, and new tabs both normal and private. It is ONLY in new private windows that the address bar does not auto-grab keyboard input.

The address bar is highlighted as though it SHOULD have input focus, but typing does nothing until I click in the address bar manually.

This is unfathomably annoying. I've tried fiddling with various settings in about:config, and I've tried running in troubleshoot mode to rule out extensions causing the issue. Also tried a fresh firefox profile and the issue persisted.

I've been relying on the checklist widget - but it has disappeared, along with my other timer & weather widgets. I see no way to get them back, either in Firefox settings or in the home page settings either.

Hi, since the last update for Mozilla on my laptop (version 153.0.1 (64 bit), all the website shortcuts in the Firefox homepage that I had pinned have disappeared. I also can't add new shortcuts. I checked in about:config and in browser.newtabpage.pinned the shortcuts are all there. The display settings for shortcuts are active.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Kind regards. Stefano Tavella

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.

Здравствуйте. Не хватает гибкая настройка главной вкладки с моими сохраненными сайтами, а именно отключение "посещаемые сайты", чтобы их не пришлось каждый раз "удалять из истории" или "скрывать" из главного, ведь для меня это лишний мусор. Возможно ли добавить такую настройку?

Спасибо за внимание! Прошу извинить, что пишу на своём родном языке, так удобнее выразить свою мысль поточнее.

Since the last update, not this recent one, there has been a huge empty space at the top of the home page. I had to close the search so my favorites wern't off the bottom of the screen. I'd really like to remove the Firefox logo, move my favorites to the top of the page and the search under that. Can you make it more customizable?

I have selected the 4 rows for shortcuts on my tab and have installed all but the last 3 spaces in the end of the 4th row. There's no option whatsoever to continue to add those remaining 3 spaces. Any suggestions?

I signed into my Firefox on a new computer, but for some reason my widgets are gone. I have checked my settings, and the box "Allow Firefox to improve features, performance, and stability between updates" is checked off. My old computer still has the widgets, so it's not like I turned it off. Any ideas?

You just made an update that added a bunch of random garbage to the new tab page under a "stories" widget that I neither want or need. You included a setting that allegedly turns it off, except that it keeps turning itself back on no matter how many times I turn it off or where I access the setting from. One of the major reasons I switched to Firefox was because it didn't push things at me, like trying to decide which news stories were important for me to see the way Windows and Google are constantly doing. Firefox isn't a news source, it doesn't employ journalists, it's a browser. All I want it to do is open up websites and save bookmarks and if you're going to keep adding all this extra garbage cluttering up my new tab page, I'm going to use another browser that doesn't.

When I open the start page, I see a number of stories I'd like to read, but once I click on one, and then go back, many of them are gone, and replaced by others, which is frustrating. I know I can right click & choose "open in new tab", but why should I have to do that? Why not just have a setting for that page, that would automatically open those links in a new tab? A simple option would be appreciated.

On another issue, why are so many of the stories I'm seeing today, a week or more old?? I don't get why I"m seeing so many old news, what's up with that?

I use a local .html file as my home page in FieFox. There is no problem setting it to be used by the "homepage" icon on the toolbar, the little house. But now, unlike for years, I can not set it to be opened when I click the + to create a new tab. How can I work around this conflict with my long established patterns?
