How do I get rid of some of the sections on the home page? For example, there are some, like all the sports ones, that I NEVER want to see.

after an update i couldn't ignore the now deadcentered firefox logo and wordmark and i can't stop being bothered by its sudden appierance. I looked into the settings and dissabled the EXCACT setting for this problem in the "about:config" going for the one with "wordmark" in the setting but its done nothing.

why did you mess up the home screen page

The new Firefox Home layout wastes screen space and pushes shortcut rows lower on the page. Please provide an option to restore the previous compact layout or remove the oversized centered Firefox logo. Productivity users need density and customization, not extra empty space.

I have to reduce the screen page size down to 67% to see the entire screen.

Hi Firefox Team,

I know how hard you guys work and I've used you almost exclusively since the beginning in 2003 and talked a lot of folks into switching to you over the years.

I'm so frustrated about your decisions to change the options for what we users want on our home page and new tabs. Seems I can only use a blank page or your default home page. And if I want my normal home page I need to click on the home icon. In the course of a day, that's a LOT of extra clicking or the alternative, typing my search query into a tiny URL bar.

Are you planning to change this? Or is this Mozilla control by default the new norm? I'm so sad to admit to be exploring Mullvad and Brave now. Never would have even considered it, even though I'm consciously weaning off other US digital products.

Thanks for any suggestions and for all you do. (Yes my IOS is up to date)

I have used 4 rows of site icons on my home page for years. (Linux FF since 2013, various distros.)

After an update, they became tiny AND so close to the bottom that a zoom of even 110 percent was unacceptable. (I prefer 100 percent.) 100 cut off the labels at the bottom.

I deleted my search bar from homepage yesterday, and had already deleted top stories and weather years ago.

Several searches over the last few days have done nothing.

Screenshot of zoom at 110 and straight 100.

I am running Windows 11 on a Lenovo ThinkPad. For years, my firefox has opened to us.yahoo.com without a hitch. A day ago it started opening to that page once, then not again. It looks like it trying to do, but something blocks it and it ends up on a blank screen. I can get to yahoo if I then type in the address. I have checked and the home page is set correctly. I have refreshed Firefox several times. I uninstalled it, and re-installed it. It still opens to a blank page. I am running Windows standard security stuff.
