Firefox Community Forum

Dear Firefox Team, I would like to ask you to consider updating Firefox for Windows desktop computers. I appreciate the innovative solutions introduced in your products, so I would like to propose adding a new functionality to the browser's home page. I propose implementing the option of displaying news directly on the home page. Users could easily select news categories that interest them, which would allow for better personalization of the presented content. What's more, it would be possible to set the refresh rate of the displayed news - for example, every 3, 5 minutes or at any selected time intervals.

I am convinced that such a feature would significantly increase the usability of the browser and could attract more users who expect quick and personalized information on a daily basis.

Thank you for your time and for considering my proposal. I hope that future releases of Firefox will find a place for this innovative functionality.

Firefox does not properly install icons to the home page shortcuts. Where are these stored so I can manually add the proper icons, or, is there another way to reliably install the proper icons? Some urls pick up the proper icon on their own, many do not. This is irritating. The email me checkbox at the bottom of this page is non functional.

I recently clicked on a "Thought-Provoking Stories" sponsored link on the Firefox homepage, expecting an informative article. Instead, I was taken to LendingTree, where I was asked increasingly personal financial questions, including my full address, email, and phone number.

I find this kind of sponsored content misleading and concerning, especially for a browser that promotes privacy and security. This process felt deceptive and overly aggressive in collecting user data.

I would like to know:

   How can I ensure that I do not see similar misleading ads in the future?
   Will Mozilla take steps to review and remove such advertisements from the Firefox homepage?

Thank you for your time.

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?

in settings Homepage and new windows use custom urls, current urls doesn't include Pinned tabs. Windows updated and when firefox was restored two windows were opened, one was blank and the other opened old home page settings but did not reopen all my pinned tabs, gmail, yahoo mail,and some other tabs I plnned, there are 5 of them and several regular tabs I had open before and most of them did not show up in history. Pinned tabs do not get included in use custom urls for the home pages. Also for several days my roboform bar would not show up, roboform said no open browers to attach to when firefox was open.

On the "New Tab" page, there are articles but almost all from sources that are not my preferences. How can I dictate the predominant sources for those articles? The political articles are all one-sided, and I prefer a more balanced set of articles -- and topics.

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.
