Firefox Community Forum

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.

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.

I was asked by FireFox to add Pocket as an extension. I was a Pocket subscriber for several years before and thought nothing of the task. Until, I tried to access years of saved articles. Zero. What happened to my account and my saved articles?d text

Could you please activate saving setting to articles. I can´t always read it immediately, but most of them would get some of my time later. I usually use bookmarks, but find that tidier than it.

I don't live in the U.S. and I LOATHE Donald Trump.

I would like the right to BLOCK ALL Donald Trump news, references, and any other reports that include his name or are written about him. I think it is propaganda forced upon the masses to have to see this jackass day in and day out. And for the next four years he will be front page news on every single God Damned channel, paper, report and internet news feed.

Please allow us to put him on a BLACK LIST and give us the right to Black List anyone we see fit to put on that list. I curate my YT feeds, specifically, and I have black listed several people and topics from any and all of my feeds. I think the internet should allow us to do so for ourselves, and not be forced by internet providers and search engines and web browsers to out up with that jackass for another four years !!

STOP THE INSANITY !!!! Thank you Jeremiah Andrews Montreal, Canada

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.

The article “Is Your Brain Dehydrated?” addresses how dehydration affects brain health and overall well-being. Taylor said that Catherine got sick because of dehydration, which contributes hyperemesis gravid arum. This reflection intends to inform the readers on the significance of hydration, the role of water in the body, along with the causes and symptoms of dehydration.

Love the browser and sticking with it even as people push Chrome. One unexpected little benefit that I came to really enjoy was the Pocket stories shown when opening a new tab. At first, these were quirky, interesting and/or fun stories, and most importantly, they were *not* news stories. Now, a lot of them are news stories straight from news outlets. ***Please allow users an option to turn off *news* stories in the Pocket feed.*** I know how to turn off Pocket stories altogether; I know how to dismiss an individual story; I know how to thumb down a story (though this feature didn't really seem to influence my feed and now it has disappeared altogether on my Windows version of Firefox) - It would just be great to have an on/off toggle for people who don't want news stories in this space. It's really important right now for people to have fun and information spaces on the internet that are not the news. We know how and where to get news, and unfortunately, bad news is seeping in through the cracks everywhere we look. Please give us a version of Pocket that is nothing but fun little reads!

The Thought-Provoking Stories' has gray bars and a horizontal moving vertical bar in every story box and no stories. How do I add the stories to those boxes? I don't see any info. on how to add those. Thank You.
