Linux HomePage UI - shortcuts view much worse after recent update

Hello, I've been using Firefox as my main browser for work for a while and I've always been happy with it. However, a recent update (which happened a few days ago) seems to have messed up the UI when it comes to homepage shortcuts. They became much smaller and narrower, while the font seemingly became larger. Now only a few letters fit in the descriptions of every shortcut, which makes it frustratingly difficult to identify them. Please fix this! I've included a screenshot of what my homepage looks now at 100% zoom and with minimum font size 9 selected. There's so much unused space to the sides, while the shortcuts text gets cut after only a few symbols. Increasing the zoom doesn't help.

I use a news site for my home page. Like everything else it wants me to sign in with an account. Is there any way I can get my home page to open on the news site already logged in to my account, or do I have to just sign in every time. I hope I'm making myself clear - I don't know if I'm using the right terminology here.

For some reason the pictures and articles don't match up. There is a picture of one thing and the article that goes with it is the next picture over. It seem like the picture is what determines which article you are reading. But the ads all line up perfectly. It's really strange. Like everything is one off to the left. Not sure if I am explaining this well and I am not a computer person so I have no clue why it is happening.

Dear Firefox Team,

I am using Firefox on my computer and have encountered a few issues:

1. When I delete all the website shortcuts, I am unable to add new website shortcuts. There is no option available to add them back.


2. When I use the "Unpin" option, the shortcut gets deleted completely, instead of just being unpinned. Ideally, the shortcut should remain available after unpinning.


I kindly request you to address these issues in an upcoming update so that users can have a smoother browsing experience.

Thank you.

Hi, y'all, I used to use the weather on new tab feature a lot until the latest update seems to have taken that feature away? Is this intentional or am I missing something? Here is an example of what it looks like: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-items-on-firefox-new-tab-page#w_weather

Some troubleshooting I've tried so far:

  • I clicked the gear icon to go to settings, but there is no settings for weather anymore.
  • I turned off my VPN, because I heard it was available to U.S. and Canada users only, I am in the U.S.
  • I closed firefox and reloaded.

Any tips/help is appreciated.

When you launch the browser, the pictures on the shortcuts on the home page shift, the shortcut for the X network has disappeared completely, but the picture from it has remained on another shortcut. The problem appears when you launch the browser after a long time, it is treated by refreshing the page. The bug itself is not critical, but it causes inconvenience.
