All of a sudden I'm constantly getting pop up ads on my home page. How do I stop them? I keep clicking that the ads are inappropriate, or I've seen them numerous times, etc.

All of a sudden I keep getting pop up ads on my Home page, even though I click on that I'm not interested or they're inappropriate, etc. How do I stop these??

I use a news site for my home page. Like everything else it wants me to sign in with an account. Is there any way I can get my home page to open on the news site already logged in to my account, or do I have to just sign in every time. I hope I'm making myself clear - I don't know if I'm using the right terminology here.

Desktop homepage: blocking specific websites would be a nice feature

The default FF homepage; I like it. It's cool that it gives me a few things to look at the refresh occasionally, and that they're filtered by subject. However there's some sites I don't wish to go to. Either sites that feel like clickbait or sites that have a paywall attached to them. I'd rather they not show up at all.

The thumbs down button does not work for this... in fact I'm not sure exactly what it does. For example there's a website that comes up on the NBA section that is always low effort, bad content click bait. But it's popular because of the sensationalism. I've thumbs downed specifically that website at least 30 times now and it's still a regular pop up under that section.

If there's a way to stop these sites from showing (not just stopping me from going the website through a website blocking app) that would be rad. It feels like an easy button to have.

Use to be when I opened firefox, google would automatically open with my 'frequently used sites' buttons below. I liked it this way. Now firefox opens only to firefox. When opening Google, it doesn't have frequently viewed site buttons. I don't like or want to use Chrome. How to restore the old?

Linux HomePage UI - shortcuts view much worse after recent update

Hello, I've been using Firefox as my main browser for work for a while and I've always been happy with it. However, a recent update (which happened a few days ago) seems to have messed up the UI when it comes to homepage shortcuts. They became much smaller and narrower, while the font seemingly became larger. Now only a few letters fit in the descriptions of every shortcut, which makes it frustratingly difficult to identify them. Please fix this! I've included a screenshot of what my homepage looks now at 100% zoom and with minimum font size 9 selected. There's so much unused space to the sides, while the shortcuts text gets cut after only a few symbols. Increasing the zoom doesn't help.
