Overnight my Firefox Home page no longer show the three rows of shortcuts I have had for years. The setting still is correct in Settings but no icons are shown - I have tried to recreate them but still no shortcut icoins! How can I recreate or recover them? Win11, fully up to date.

Hi, a while ago I have set my browser homepage to have links to recently visited sites and pages and I had set a background too, but a few days ago it suddenly seemed to forget about all my search history and settings for some reason, as you can see in the screenshot below. This behavior does not happen with any other part/functionality of the browser. I don't really know what could be going on, so I'm reaching out here.

Recently when starting the browser I've seen that Microsoft Defender blocks requests to one of my homepage shortcuts, due to it finding the URL suspicious. My question is as the title suggests: does Firefox ping the URLs or fetch metadata of said domains automatically/in the background to update the icons, website title, etc? It is always suspicious to find Microsoft Defender stating it blocks request to websites I haven't accessed in a while. So I'm trying to deduce if it is a feature and not a ghost in the wires...

Hello After the latest update of Firefox browser, the "Add Shortcut" option is no longer displayed and is only displayed for the first time when you open the browser. However, when you open a site and want to return to the home and shortcuts section through the "Home" option, the "Add Shortcut" option is no longer displayed and I have not been able to add shortcuts to my home page for a while now.

ホームページにヤフージャパン以外にいくつかのページを設定しています。 ヤフーを見ているときにホームボタンでトップページにもどると他のタグのページも全てまた新しく立ち上がってどんどんタグが増えてしまいます。 見ているページだけ初期化する設定に出来ませんか。 Microsoft　edgeは出来たのですが、出来ればfirefoxに乗り換えたいです。

To whm it may concern, Having the same problem as others with homepage shortcuts and Its absolutely absurd - I want FAVORITES shortcuts on my home screen, not shortcuts for every flamin page I visit (mind you, your new shortcuts creation option is designed so poorly, if I sign into something like an email account, it saves shortcuts for the initial page, the login page and the landing page! - Seriously Mozilla??) The box you once checked to save favorite site shortcuts now says "sites you save OR VISIT". Thats just utterly ridiculous, especially when I have set cookies and history to be deleted on browser exit.

PLEASE FIX THIS - Not user friendly in the least Thank You

I just experienced a hijack when I clicked on a help link in a trusted site [HP.com] while researching my printer information. It hijacked my system until I was able to clear it with an app. Now when I start firefox a search page is started with searchingswift.com in the address bar. I need to know how to delete this command. I can close it down and start a new window with the proper address bar, but I want the hijacker gone. Thank you

I have returned to firefox after getting a new laptop, but I can only create 8 shortcuts on the home page. Initially I could only create 5, but 3 more opportunities to 'add a shortcut' randomly appeared. I have selected to have 4 rows of shortcuts and this setting remains, but still I cannot add any new shortcuts. How can I add more shortcuts please?
