Default homepage is yahoo. Since the update to version 149, if I do a search from yahoo, the new tab that opens with the search result is blank most of the time. I have to click reload for the search results to show up.

Is anybody else having that problem? Seems to be yahoo search specific but not 100% sure.

Hey! Up until the last update, I used this code to set and focus a custom new tab page instead of its address bar (This should be a default feature, but what can you do...)

``` var {classes:Cc,interfaces:Ci,utils:Cu} = Components;

// Set new tab page try {

 ChromeUtils.importESModule("resource:///modules/AboutNewTab.sys.mjs").AboutNewTab.newTabURL = "file:///home/razv/StartPage/index.html"; 

} catch(e){Cu.reportError(e);} // report errors in the Browser Console

// Auto focus new tab content try {

 ChromeUtils.import("resource:///modules/BrowserWindowTracker.jsm").BrowserWindowTracker;
 const Services = globalThis.Services

 Services.obs.addObserver((event) => {
   window = BrowserWindowTracker.getTopWindow();
   window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser.focus();
 }, "browser-open-newtab-start");

} catch(e) { Cu.reportError(e); } ```

After the last update, focusing the new tab page's content is broken. Can anyone help me?

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 use the Zen browser and I can't use ctrl+shift+c to view the element, I deleted the shortcut specified in the settings for copying the page URL so that the inspector would work, but it doesn't work, although the correct shortcut is indicated when hovering, but it doesn't work

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.

After firefox update, start page changed to first photo i added here, second photo is how it was before, is there any way to get it back? Before update i had version 131.0b9, now its 136.0b1

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!

Normally Firefox sponsor ads on home page occasionally inserts an new ad. I will support some occasional ads by clicking on the new ad to give Firefox 'click credit' then deleting new ad. Today when I delete the new ad another pops up 10-15 times an will not stop. That is too much. I do voluntarily support Firefox with monthly donation.

How do I stop the constantly returning ads?

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

I have used Mozilla Firefox as my default browser, for years. Recently, I used a program to clean (what it said was) junk files from my computer. Unfortunately, I did not make a rescue point. After removal of the files, several of my programs, including Firefox, has no longer worked as it once did. I was always able to go into settings to select my browser, my search engine, my home page, etc. That is no longer possible. I was wondering if I should uninstall Firefox and reinstall - or is their another easier way to repair my problem?

Any help I can get is much appreciated.
