Firefox Community Forum

I've reported literally EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE ABOUT HER in an attempt to maybe hint to the grand ol algorithm that I have NO interest in her life, marriage, or whatever else keeps getting beamed into my eye sockets. Nothing has worked. No dismissing, no reporting, NOTHING keeps me from seeing another article about her. I DON'T CARE WHAT SHE'S DOING STOP SHOWING ME ARTICLES!!! PLEASE!!

as soon as i startup firefox it has a quick flash of white before the background image comes up. it happens on new profiles/troubleshooting mode.

i have tried disabling hardware acceleration and it doesnt seem to help.

A couple days ago I started getting a blank page for the Firefox home page. FF is set as my default browser and FF default for windows and tabs. The home page was working fine but now I can't figure out how to get it back.

My homepage disappeared after the last update. I wanted it back. I had all of my favorite apps that I like to go to, and then I had all of the news topics underneath, and it was all nice and clean on one page where I can click and open a link. Now I just see icons and it’s not showing me the entire page like before.

I don't know why Firefox made my homepage so messy, with so many junk suggestions. It used to be a lot of thoughtful / interesting stuff about science / nature / health / politics / philosophy think-pieces and now it is all just "(unkown celebrity name) clashes with (council) over (something I don't care about)" or "(american president) shocks defense community with late night Truth Social Screed (BROUGHT TO YOU BY TABLOID PAYWALL)." Everything is suddenly UK only, and it is all from the Metro, the Mirror, the Independent or Sky News. I never, ever read any of that. I am sometimes in the UK, but not now. And my VPN is never set there.

I don't want to block whole themes - Health? I might be interested in some of that, but I don't need ten stories from the UK health sector gumming up my feed every day. Food? I used to occasionally get good recipes on the home page, but now it's a whole section of choco-banoffie protein smoothies and fried chicken, which I would never, ever click on or prepare. Money? All of these things have potentially interesting options, so I don't want to block them, but I'm definitely not interested in getting loads more of any of it.

Is there any way to go back to region neutral 'this is interesting' stuff? I find the current home page to be really unpleasant.

On my Firefox homepage I had four rows of bookmark shortcuts. I recently decided to switch some of them out but I made a mistake and chose Dismiss. Now my homepage only has three rows of shortcuts even though in the options it still says four and there doesn't seem to be a way to re-add them or bring them back. How do I restore the slots that were dismissed?

Hi,

I have changed homepage in the settings section, but, on first starting up firefox i get the Google homepage as my initial screen. I really dont want this, so i have checked everything, changed homepage url, removed google search option, and even checked the shortcut and .exe properties, and none of them point to google, yet it still persists. Is there any way to stop this happening please.

Further to this, if i open a new tab i get the firefox page, and when i click home it opens my saved homepage url.

Your most recent update ruined what I have relied on for years in Firefox.

I have about nine sites that have ALWAYS started up on opening Firefox. 3 newspapers, 2 games pages, 2 sport pages, and a couple of generic pages for searching.

The recent update in Settings doesn't keep those nine sites, or offer a way to keep those automatically., It only offers 'Keep the existing sites' that are currently there. Or something similar to that description.

I like to start with my nine starters. Occasionally I'll change one out (e.g. Wimbledon instead of French Open), but through a day, I'll be adding more pages and deleting pages, yet still, I want tomorrow to start with my nine pages.

Why was this option removed, or am I just not seeing it? I don't want to have to create a Custom Home Page in settings every time.

What is your solution?!? Doug
