The default FF homepage; I like it. It's cool that it gives me a few things to look at the refresh occasionally, and that they're filtered by subject. However there's some sites I don't wish to go to. Either sites that feel like clickbait or sites that have a paywall attached to them. I'd rather they not show up at all.

The thumbs down button does not work for this... in fact I'm not sure exactly what it does. For example there's a website that comes up on the NBA section that is always low effort, bad content click bait. But it's popular because of the sensationalism. I've thumbs downed specifically that website at least 30 times now and it's still a regular pop up under that section.

If there's a way to stop these sites from showing (not just stopping me from going the website through a website blocking app) that would be rad. It feels like an easy button to have.

Hi there. I accidentally downloaded an app "startfenster.de" when updating VLC player. I deleted the app from my laptop but the website still opens whenever I start firefox. I tried changing the settings for the Browser, cleaning the cache, rebooting the laptop but nothing works. What can I do? The website https://www.startfenster.de/ doesn't seem to be dangerous but I still fnid it rather annoying. Thank you for your help! Katrin

I would like my home page to be the ABC news site. However, the default seems to be Brisbane Qld. No matter how many times I change it to my location, which is Melbourne Vic. and then select "use current page" in settings, next time I turn on my PC, it's back to Brisbane. Is there a way to set my home page permanently to show my location (Melbourne Vi.) ? Regards, Manfred
