Cannot get rid of non starred icons on Firefox's new tab home page.

Nowhere is there an article that actually works.

Articles that mention right click, get three dots (...), and choose "remove" do not apply. My dropdown list box does not give any kind of "remove" choice. Hence, articles incorrect.

I have starred icons, okay. (Do NOT like the new Firefox with that clutter) I have picked up one non starred icon I cannot get rid of (Not nice of Firefox to eliminate ability to remove icons)

Would love to give screen shots. BUT, cannot get screen shot to be saved in a format that "Browse..." accepts.

So, I'm stuck with that rogue icon I cannot get rid of.

Title, i really don't want that small icon on every new tab. You can move it in toolbar customization , but you can't remove it completely. It loads automatically when opening any tab at all , so i see it for a split second. It really bugs me.

The previous New Tab layout setting (browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-a) is gone in FF 141!

In a few previous updates, FF keeps messing around with the New Tab layout, ruining its previous good look. I learned to revert it back to its former setting by disabling browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-a and also browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-b in about:config.

Now in Firefox 141, browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-a has completely disappeared, no more allowing the poor user to get the look he wants.

Why? Am I missing something? What is the use of making the product worse or less user friendly?

The only two new tab choices in Settings are only "Firefox Home (default)" and "Blank page". Is there a way to change this?

My last laptop let me use www.google.com as the home page in both new windows and new tabs, but on this new thinkpad running Firefox 141 I can only choose that for new windows and not for new tabs.

Thanks!

I am trying to set up a new computer. I have customized the homepage and new windows to a preferred page, however I cannot customize the new tab settings. The only options for a new tab are either Firefox homepage or blank page. I am trying to find a way to have my preferred homepage open when I open a new tab.

How can I customize recommended stories so that only articles that require a sign-in to be viewed not be shown to me. If I see a story title that looks interesting and I select it and a sign in page immediately pops up (all of which I do not wish to sign up for just to read a short article) then it feels like another privacy grab.
