Google Search is pinned at the top of my Firefox Suggest list. (see the attached image)

Google Search is NOT my default search engine.

Where is this controlled/specified?

FF 145.0 Mint Linux/Cinnamon FF installed as system package not flatpack

Okay so here is the procedure as near as I can make it out...

1. Change New Tab settings from what I want to the "default - Firefox home screen." 2. Edit the default new tab screen to unpin Google search - something I would never have selected 3. Change the New Tab setting back to what I want it to be.

Gotcha!

It has been a couple of decades since I did user interface/application design, but that design needs a bit of work

It's because this website is pinned as the first tile on your new tab page.

My New Tab page is a blank page.

New Windows is set to display my homepage (custom URL)
