The articles cued up at the bottom of the start page is a great idea, poorly run. Why are all the sources so liberal and why can't I pick what I want to see? Axios, Time, the Atlantic, and the Guardian is not a balanced approach, even in the liberal world.

Dear Firefox Support,

I am a long-time Firefox user and greatly appreciate the privacy-focused and user-friendly experience your browser offers. However, I would like to request an enhancement to the Android version of Firefox.

Currently, the Firefox Start Page on Android only displays two rows of shortcut icons under "Top Sites" (Pinned Shortcuts). This limitation restricts quick access to frequently used websites, especially for users who rely on visual organization.

I would kindly request the option to customize the number of visible shortcut rows — for example, allowing up to 5 or more rows — directly from the app’s settings. This would greatly improve usability and personalization without affecting the minimalist design of the Start Page.

Thank you for your work and consideration. I hope this suggestion can be taken into account for a future update.

Best regards, Florin

Hello,

I really like using the "Shortcuts" (Top Sites) feature on the Firefox new tab page. However, there is one problem: Firefox automatically adds new shortcuts from recently visited sites.

I would like to keep only the shortcuts I manually pinned, without Firefox suggesting or adding new ones automatically. Currently, if I disable browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.topsites, all shortcuts disappear, and if I leave it enabled, Firefox keeps adding unwanted sites.

Could you please add an option to disable automatic shortcut suggestions while keeping only pinned shortcuts? This would make the feature much more convenient for users who prefer to manage their shortcuts manually.

Thank you!

I was able to sign in to my account for Firefox and I got my bookmarks back; the odd thing is Mozilla tries to put a bunch of them on the home page, and I can't get rid of them. Also in the edition of Firefox I downloaded, the default search engine that they set up is Google. Unbelievable. So I changed that to Firefox as the default search engine. There some "sponsored" bookmarks on the home page I can't get rid of. And I cannot figure out hosw to get my Collections back on the main page. I loved that Collections feature on the home page.

How to disable the auto-adding of shortcuts feature from history to home page? It's really annoying, when I want to change my pinned shortcuts, I have to delete all auto added shorcuts (Even when the items on the screen are finished, they keep appearing in front of me, and this takes a long time). It is a must feature I think.

On a new tab page, I have unselected "recommended stories" and added four rows of shortcuts. Almost invariably, when I open a new tab, Firefox has added a couple of new shortcuts, bumping two of mine off the page. The shortcuts I've selected are the ones I want. I would like Firefox to stop making suggestions. Does anyone know if that's possible, and, if so, how do you do it?

I've noticed on several of my pc's running win10 & win11 the AP news shortcut has been added to the new tab page when I have not gone to the AP News site on either PC. If I have "sponsored shortcuts" off and I don't use AP news ever, how did it end up on my shortcuts?

Don't know how to describe the issue. I leave the computer on all night. In the morning, when I move the mouse to activate the screen, there is a large, 3-panel image with links to various websites. Today's panels are titled "Daily Wonder," "Hats Off to the Class of '25," and "Markets." A click on any of these panels takes me to a website. No idea how these panels are produced or by whom. If I try to take a screenshot, the images disappear and my normal home screen is shown. I do not recognize anything in the Task Manager that might explain this. Not sure if this is a Windows issue or a Firefox issue. Perhaps another user can ask me questions that will lead to more information.

Windows 10 version 22H2, OS Build 19045.5854.

Thanks, Cloverdavid
