Firefox Community Forum

My Firefox is not working properly since the latest update (5/1/25). My Menu button doesn't do anything when clicked and my home page does not show a Shortcuts menu. I need these problems corrected.

Since my Yahoo Mail account on the Firefox home page stopped working 3/14/25, I have to get my mail through a gmail back door. How can I restore my Yahoo Mail (with all its content) to my Firefox home page?

I find it ridiculous, and a deal breaker, that firefox makes it so Labour intensive, if at all with many updates and version iterations, to have my own url as a homepage. Seriously, what are you thinking, when every competitor in the browser community provides this form of personalisation, which is extremely important to the majority of it's users. Big brother, is why they seek other alternatives, and here you are providing zero movement away from authoritarian bs . If I wanted google i would've stayed with google. I thought forefox would've been better.

My favourites link (blue star) has disappeared from the toolbar. I can find the favourites link by searching the computer but I don't know how to get it back on the toolbar.

firefox did an update this morning when I selected a link on a trusted email. Went as normal but I have lost my homepage. All I have is a blank page where I used to have my most used searches and links. All gone blank page (still have bookmarks drop down) Is this the new look? how can I get my homepage back please? Thanks Stephen

Customization:

I want to change the Microsoft desktop icons on shortcuts to a number of internet URLs. Unlike with other shortcuts, this is not possible with Firefox. Too many of the same icon are confusing. Seems to me it would be a simple and useful option.

I have always used FireFox for my browser, and I have the Homepage set to open to Google. In the past week, it no longer opens to Google, but a blank, new tab. I have tried going into "Settings", "Home" and setting the Homepage to open to Google, but it won't do it. I tried setting it to open to other webpages and it does it with no issue. Apparently, opening to Google is an issue. How do I correct this, and have others had this same issue?

On the home page, I have the spots showing items of interest. I like this but noted a LOT that these are skewed to one political view (the politics spots in particular). Why is this not balanced or allowing to show the side you lean more towards? I have also clicked some of them and read them but they are on sites that are pay to view, pay to comment, or just closed to comment so I would like to avoid them. Thank you for all you do! Scott
