I just switched to ff from chrome on both desktop and phone as well, and I was very pleased to discover how much ff has to offer. My question is: how do I see new news on the "News" panel which can be accessed from the home page on the right top (see pic attached). The contents are various, which is good and I understand I have to train it first to know my interests, which is not a problem. However, since installing (about a week ago) I have not seen anything new there. The pull to refresh is not working, there is no button I can press. I even thought I have to open them to sort of knock them out from the row, but that would be silly. But even after opening and reading the full article, upon returning to the panel, the same article is still there... 🤔 So, no news for me 😅 Is this a bug? Chrome got soo bloated with AI like Windows and has as many adverts like Facebook, so I looked for an alternative. Ff looked promising and after switching to Linux from Windows, it came as preinstalled browser. Ff is an old acquaintance, I have used it back in the time from since it was launched. Even then it was a better option, than Internet Explorer. We all get hijacked now and again to the new and shiny alternatives (hence the change to Cromer some time ago). But when the new and shiny is not so shiny anymore... Anyways, please help me out in where I'm missing something. The experience is very nice in any other way and extra medal for giving us the option to tailor AI features and not just cramming them down our throats. I am including a screenshot from the most recent chrome browser for Android to see the cramming and the layout. There a simple pull to refresh does the job.

Thank you for reading my rambling Kind Regards Zsanett

I pinned 8 websites in my homepage shortcuts. After pinning, their icons were matching the websites. Like when I added Moneycontrol's website to shortcuts, its icon looked good, but after 1 day or a few hours its icon changed to "M". This has happened many times. I tried many different methods but I did not find a solution. I request you to please fix this. I really like your service, everything is good, just please fix this one thing.

I am experiencing an issue where my saved Collections are not appearing on the Firefox Homepage (New Tab page), even though they clearly exist in the system.

The Issue: When I attempt to add a page to a collection, the "Select collection" overlay correctly shows my existing categories: Read Later, News, and Gemini.

The Discrepancy: When I return to the Firefox Homepage, the Collections section is completely missing. Only "Shortcuts" are visible.

Troubleshooting done: I have verified that I have active tabs saved within these collections (as seen in the attached screenshots), but the homepage remains empty below the shortcuts.

Device Specifications:

  • Firefox Version: 150.0.1 (Build #2016157687)
  • Build ID: 094f3362dcbcefdce34f05b355607cdce06a4ef4
  • GV: 150.0.1-20260427013024
  • AS: 150.0.1
  • OS: Android 16

Moderator note: This question has been edited to specify values in the "Firefox version" and "Operating system" fields based on the info above.

I have grouped tabs into different collections, but I have no way of accessing the collections. When I go to the tabs page and click on the + to get to the homepage, there are only 3 sections: Shortcuts, Jump Back In, and Bookmarks. I have looked at the customize section of the settings and unchecked "Stories" and anything sponsored, but there is no option in the customize section for "Collections" and there is no "Collections" section in the homepage, even though I can still save tabs in different collections.

I can also see the collections exist when I go to save a tab in a collection, because they pop up as possible collections for the new tab. I just have no way of accessing the collections after the fact.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Since having my Samsung android "mended" I've lost the Collections.

I save quite a lot of tabs for future reference or just as a keep for ideas, holidays etc.

I've read the 'answers' in a number of forums/Google and so on, but they don't address the problem fully - they all state the obvious: click on this, scroll down to that - we know, that's why we're asking where the devil have they gone?!

I would like very much if *someone* who isn't a bot to answer this please. I'm sure I speak for many of us who are fed up with stock answers. If you don't know, find out. That's your job surely?

Hello, I recently changed phone and after reinstalling Firefox I realised that collections are not visible on the homepage. To be clear, I'm aware they do not sync, I added everything manually and it worked just fine, they just don't appear below the shortcuts. I saw a few other posts on the matter, some were able to fix it by toggling some secret settings (which have been changed since as far as I can tell), someone recently had them reappear on their own, but I've had no such luck.

When v143 was released something happened to the shortcuts row(s). Regardless of refreshing efforts, rolling back versions, and searching the forums, there's no way to consistently get the shortcuts back. Sometimes they appear with a new browser instance, sometimes they don't. They don't appear with new tabs, and they don't stay when they do appear with a new browser. Grrrr. Please restore the shortcuts!
