Firefox Community Forum

Suddenly found that there is a good key is not there, and other application habits are not built, currently found four points that will allow me to replace the browser habits. 1. close the web page a key to restore, gone, although there are shortcuts, but inevitably will conflict with other software, without this very difficult 2. Open the bookmarks on the web page, actually from the original web page directly replace the original as long as the point of opening a new web page, a new window will pop up to change, it is because of this just choose Firefox, or else use Google's browser! 3. Complaints about the time of the proposal, very not silky smooth, looking for a long time, click on the input is also a problem, a problem can not be found, a ring set of rings, can not be simple earlier tips from where to send mailboxes! 4. Extensions and themes can not be used, some translations, downloads, screenshots can not be used, your purpose should be to better serve the people, if you do not allow the installation of extensions and plug-ins, you do a good job of their own can also be, but you do not have, or to build a good use of your own plug-ins platform for everyone to download the genuine, I think it will be better for everyone to use!

The above four points, I will send an email every day until March 31, if these have not been updated, or I have not been given if to change the operation to restore these features, I think I will replace a browser that has been used for a long time.

Hi,

On my "new tab" page, the "add a shortcut" button is missing. I can pin, unpin, move, and dismiss shortcuts freely, but only those which automatically appear. Unfortunately the page I'd like to pin is not in the auto-generated shortcuts list (even expanded to 4 lines). It is in my recently bookmarked pages, but the context menu there does not allow adding it to the shortcuts. I use Windows, Nightly 138.0a1 (2025-03-13) (64-bit).

Thanks for any help, Pat

Is there any way to get the Firefox logo off the new tab page? I want more space to see the 4 rows of pinned sites. They are smaller and difficult to read now. Using 15 inch laptop.

The recent changes have upset a lot of people. Changes that no one needed or wanted. . . . . trying to make the best of it.

Anyone have any suggestions on other top browsers?? Thanks

I WANT TO ADD YAHOO.COM TO MY HOMEPAGE . I ALREADY HAVE 6 OTHER ICONS THERE: AMAZON, GOOGLE, AOL, FOX NEWS, SMITHS FOODS, AND CHASE. HOW DO I ADD A 7TH TO MY HOMEPAGE? THANK YOU, LYNN STRATMAN

The icons on my home page suddenly became significantly reduced in size. Sure, I can tell what they are, and I've increased the text size for their identifiers below the icons. But they are now so small as to be not pleasing to the eye. How can I put them back the way they wuz?

Good afternoon. Yesterday I updated the Mozilla version from 135.0.1 to 136.0 and now the Firefox logo has appeared on the main screen (where the shortcuts are), thus reducing the size of the shortcuts and creating the inconvenience of having to scroll with the mouse, because before that everything fit nicely. Please remove the logo from the Firefox home page. Or tell me how I can return to version 135.01 without losing my data. This is very inconvenient, so much so that I decided to write to you for the first time.

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.

I have been writing for the past couple of days to ask about the status of Firefox Shortcuts and have not received any responses from the Community or from Mozilla themselves.

I just read through 3 years of comments and questions regarding the problems with Firefox Shortcuts on the Main Page when opening Firefox itself. NOTHING has been done in 3 years regarding these problems, even though 99% of Mozilla / Firefox users want the features that EVERY OTHER MAJOR BROWSER already has.

Firefox automatically creates Shortcuts that I did not ask for, and that I do not need. Especially when the Shortcut is a duplicate of ones I already have.

The worst part is, now that there are duplicate icons as Shortcuts, they cannot be Dismissed. No matter how many times I select "Dismiss" from the 3 dot menu, the icons DO NOT go away. So, I have permanent Shortcut icons that I do not need staring me in the face EVERY TIME I'm using my computer.

Thanks, Mozilla, way to show how much you appreciate your users. Especially with last years campaign to get users thinking Mozilla actually cares that they are going after unscrupulous companies stealing our data to use with AI development.

You are all the same, take, take, take, and then lie about what you actually are doing.

This morning I found a new page describing new "stuff" (curated news articles, etc.) and looked around - somehow I have "lost" the links on my landing page....how do I restore them? Thank you.

So im playing this browsergame but everytime i press ctrl+w it closes the tab because thats the bind for closing tabs. This is very annoying so i would be glad if yall could help me out here

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.

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.

Why oh Why, does Mozilla not allow the full list of selected short-cuts, we the Firefox customers, have personally chosen?

After 30 years of using computers, I would hardly class myself as completely lacking in knowledge about, which works and which does not or is dangerous.

Woke, Woke, Woke. EVERYWHERE.

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.

I switched to a new desktop PC and lost all my shortcuts. Changed my password, and not the sync reset all my shortcuts to the new PC browser! What a huge pain in the @$$!

The hours I am going to spend TRYING to fix this mess!

Now i installed an app with shortcuts to youtube and netflix for easy use now whenever i press either of them they open a new firefox windows with none of my info no firefox account logged in nothing like a fresh install and it is also that when that window is opened and i open another shortcut then another windows isnt opened and just a new tab is opened in the fresh install windows

On my home page i have 2 rows of short cuts. Then the latest news listings. Can I change the types of news listings? For example one story might be from NPR while the next can be from CNN then another from MSNBC. Non of which interests me. Is there away to set sites in the settings to list News and events that I would be interested in? Sites like The Wire, Reuters, NewsMax, RT, The National Desk, etc. So would there be a way to get those headlines? Thanks

It's not showing recent activity - only blank grey boxes. And its not showing my things saved in pocket at all even though I've selected in settings to show it.

Im using version - 135.0 (aarch64) - it says its up to date.

I fairly frequently use the "Use Current Pages" button under Home > New windows and tabs to set my current open tabs (or pages) as my "homepage and new windows." I would really like a shortcut to do this without opening settings, but I can't find anything to do that. I guess it could be a button or keyboard shortcut. Can this be created? Thanks.
