I'd like to have no news, people stories, nothing on my screen when I open my browser. Is that possible? I'm ready for the world to slow down and get more connected to nature. Thank you.

I want to make a personal list of websites that are not dangerous, but I don't want to waste my time being directed there. How to I create this "No-Go" list?

The links in every browser are going to take you (redirect) to a half-dozen places you might not even know you're being dragged to, in order to follow a given link: Think a 'news' item, that is or isn't. 99 times out of 99 you will visit advertising, also a paywall, or whatever they call it this week.

All of this is a waste of my time, which why I think about clicking on anything, knowing that it'll likely NOT be what everyone else wants you to think it is. For those times that I have my brain on remote, I want a list that I've made myself that'll take my blind clicking out of the loop before the nonsense even starts.

My own personal White List.

This isn't exactly something that is broken but it is something that is plenty weird and I wondered if anyone has an idea how it happens.

I shut down my Linux laptop one day and when I started it the next day, all my tabs were gone. Annoying, but I spent some time searching for the most important ones and got on with my life.

We have a class picture book that is only accessible by faculty from campus or using the secure VPN. It helps us to learn people's names. It is an HTML file. One day, I needed to look someone up. Ordinarily that would open a new tab in the browser I have running, but it didn't. A whole new Firefox appeared for it and there were all my lost tabs.

Wut?

Now I can use the picture book to alternate between my old tabs and my new ones. How on Earth can this happen? It isn't exactly something that is broken, just something I don't understand.

The Firefox auto login of a default site feature has become a supreme annoyance. Being insufficiently Firefox savvy to be able to disable this unhelpful feature (in my case). Can someone please help with avoiding or disabling this feature so that the initial site selection is left to the user, other than totally avoiding Firefox which I otherwise find highly functional and enjoyable.
