Firefox Community Forum

On the home screen all the boxes are greyed out. I guess they are meant to be links to videos and information, weather etc etc? I am on Windows 11, my version is up to date (151.0.3 (64-bit).

I have cleared cache etc and troubleshooter to reset Firefox but still no good. I have recently gone back to FF from Chrome as Chrome has so many issues.

Best Buy Tech support took control of my computer today to get my printer to scan to the computer. After that was done, I went to my FIREFOX hompage only to see it completely changed from the way it was and I am now trying to get it back.

Home page bookmarks are missing. I am not able to add bookmarks on the home page either. But if I click on the top search bar, all of my missing bookmarks appear, but just a miniaturized version. Please restore the original home page layout.

When I open firefox on my computer, it opens to a custom URL that links to a facebook page that I must've put in 5 years ago. I don't want this, and clear the link in the homepage and new windows under home in firefox settings, and switch it to firefox home (default) for "Homepage and new windows" in the firefox settings.. The problem is that when I open firefox again the next day, it opens up facebook again instead of a browser firefox tab and the "homepage and new windows" is under custom url with that facepage page url. I am a new firefox user and want to continue to use firefox but this is a headache.

I am on windows 11 home, and using a gaming tower if that is of any help.

Thank you for any help. I appreciate it :)

My Home page is a local HTML file featuring a CSS-based tabbed notebook holding links organized into various categories. When exiting FF, I always have this page as the active browser tab, so that on start-up it's still the active one in the event of multiple open browser tabs.

Until v151.0.4 (and still now with v152.0), if I exited FF with the active notebook tab (actually a styled radio button under the hood) in my CSS tabbed notebook something other than the first/leftmost tab, FF would restart with that being the active tab, but after a few seconds of CPU activity as the browser initialized the active notebook tab would switch to the first/leftmost one. (In my HTML I also have <input type="radio" name="tabs" checked> specified for this first/leftmost instance.)

Since the update, however, it remains stuck on the one from the last browser session as first displayed. I suppose I can live with this, but I do wonder what accounts for the change in behavior. If it's by design, where is it documented? If not ... maybe it calls for a bug report.

Attached below is a screenshot of my homepage for Firefox desktop (Windows 11). I have uBlock Origin, but it doesn't block anything on the homepage. I have two specific concerns:

• I tried inputting both gmail.com and mail.google.com addresses for the URL of my shortcut, but it always displays a generic icon instead.
• The YouTube icon isn't transparent.

I used the same layout/theme on a previous Windows 11 install and these two problems did not occur at all. What's the possible solution for this?

Default homepage is yahoo. Since the update to version 149, if I do a search from yahoo, the new tab that opens with the search result is blank most of the time. I have to click reload for the search results to show up.

Is anybody else having that problem? Seems to be yahoo search specific but not 100% sure.

A couple days ago I started getting a blank page for the Firefox home page. FF is set as my default browser and FF default for windows and tabs. The home page was working fine but now I can't figure out how to get it back.

i tried everything in setting , nothing works these suggested shortcuts automatically attached to my home page i did deselect this feature in setting but still they pop up on my home page and the other problem is i am not able to search in my web search section on the home page what is that so ? why this isnt fixed yet ?

All I want is the ability to have my weather in the upper right hand corner of my opening screen. It was that way then you people decide for some reason that it should belong as a Widget in the lower area of my opening screen. But sense I do now want all three of your Widgets, I am left with this very awkward looking screen. Then a new update was released and my weather was returned to the upper right area of my opening screen. Then today you people updated again, and the Widget was returned to the lower left area of my opening screen.

Since you people clearly can't make up your minds, is there any possibility that you could see your way clear to offering us (your users) the ability to select where we would like the Weather the appear? Please say "Yes". Thank you.

I have a GPO policy that sets Homepage for startup to open specific URL, and now it just stopped working after last update to version 149, instead i get standard FF startpage.

- tried updating .admx templates to the newest version

- about:policies shows correctly that GPO is enforced

Everything checks out but somehow it is not working anymore. Someone with similar problem?

The icons/shortcuts on my homepage are getting moved around, added to, or deleted despite my having pinned all of the shortcuts that I want. All 4 rows of shortcuts have been filled with my pinned ones. Now Firefox is deleting/moving the last 2 on the lower right and inserting 2 new and irrelevant ones in positions 2 and 3 of the top row. This is annoying and frustrating. Thanks for any help.

why not

My Hoepage is set to Firefox. In the center of that page is a Search box which I used always. Now when I try to type in it, my cursor shoots up to the top to the ADDRESS bar. I do NOT want to SEARCH from the address bar. I want to search in the Firefox search box. I also have Duckduckgo set up in that search bar. After the last 2 Firefox updates, I can no longer type my search in that box, but can ONLY search in the ADDRESS bar. Please help be restore the use of the Firefox Search box.

Normally Firefox sponsor ads on home page occasionally inserts an new ad. I will support some occasional ads by clicking on the new ad to give Firefox 'click credit' then deleting new ad. Today when I delete the new ad another pops up 10-15 times an will not stop. That is too much. I do voluntarily support Firefox with monthly donation.

How do I stop the constantly returning ads?
