Firefox Community Forum

For last 2 days, whenever I open a new tab it takes ages to load. I've tried troubleshoot mode and refreshed Firefox but this hasn't worked. Internet connection is healthy, no problems with other browsers

When I click for a new tab, all the shortcuts I have are moved down awkwardly. Can you fix that? That does not seem to be a good choice. Please change. The attached image shows that everything has moved down and I cannot see the names of the shortcuts. Why did you do this? Please fix that. There was absolutely no reason to do that!

On my homepage dismissing suggestion after suggestion of random websites i've visited singular times. It's creepy as hell the way firefox chooses random shit from my history to suggest to me. Remember that wikipedia article you read last week? They'll suggest that page instead of suggesting wikipedia itself? It's not helpful, I'm not navigating the web quicker because of it, if i wanted to find something from my history I'd search through my fucking history, it's creepy firefox's homepage algorithm tries to do that for me. It's annoying that I can click "dismiss" on a page, and it'll just show up at the end of the list! I fucking hate it and I spent way too long dismissing page after page after page until it finally suggested non-creepy links that i could pin so I never get a fUCKING suggestion for a goddamn reddit discussion I read five months ago ever again. It'd be nice if there was just a way to choose the fucking links that go there, or to fucking tell firefox to stop suggestion certain things outright, but who at mozilla actually gives a shit about what the user wants? I saw what y'all did with the mobile app, ya'll hate your userbase and having a functioning product god damn.

I love you Firefox but what gives you the right to change/mess with my settings on my home page and make it difficult for non technical user to change back to preferred look???????? Why do you do it?

I mistakenly agreed to update Firefox to V 151.02. Once again I regret it but there is no way to turn off the stupid prompt windows telling to you to update.

Now when i open a new tab , the wasted space on my COMPUTER screen is incredible. Instead of the old format withm3 wide "columns" of suggested stories/articles it is now one prominent, and a narrow list of only two wide. requiring me to scroll down twice as far as I used to. I have large white blank unused screen space being wasted. It seems to be optimized for only people who use their narrow phone screens only in portrait mode.

I hate the random useless changes that affect my normal everyday usage of the browser, without any options to go back to old formats or settings.

I am actually thinking of switching to EDGE, or Chrome on my Windows computers.

Wish Mitchel was still my student as I would vocalize my complaint directly to them. But that was back in the days when it was a responsive community .org. Not the now privatized for profit entity that Mozilla has become.

As i had to create another useless account just to submit any sort of feedback, watch as I get constant useless emails with no relevance to anything in my life, as all i wanted was a simple way to make my screen the same as it was for the past versions

At some point I decided to use default tab wallpapers by Mozilla. With an update of home menu 151.0 , there is a new logo in the center "Firefox". You can see it on (screenshot 1). It covers any background picture, in my case a tail of the fox. I can't figure out how to hide this logo. I have one icon on my taskbar already; having it in the layout is just a redundancy. Obviously i know that i use Firefox there is no need to remind me that

A little extra note: The layout reflow of the logo works bad when the window is resized. It's not centralized.(screenshot 2).

The only band-aid that i see is in Settings >> New tabs >> Blank Page. It turns of wallpapers and whole layout of homepage which is not my target (screenshot 3).

I use Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS , snap Firefox 151.0.1

It is just all the "sexy" photoos of movie stars and such. I mean, it's okay but iit's a terrible distraction and I find myself going there and wastding too much time. Can I get rid of all that on my oppening screen?

I'm sorry, maybe the problem was there in previous versions however I just noticed it. Or rather the absence of it. The problem is when I open a new tab where I had that mini weather report widget enabled (and I checked that the button in the settings is set to be enabled) the widget is not there anymore, nowhere to be seen.

I made two screenshots of my browser's new tab with no weather widget and one with the settings open to show that the weather widget on/off button is enabled. I'm sorry however that I had to blur things I thought it would be sensitive information.

My OS is Win11 Home Greek and my Firefox is in Greek as well.

Depuis une récente mise à jour Firefox, les tuiles de raccourcis de la page Nouvel onglet sont devenues beaucoup trop petites avec énormément d’espace perdu à gauche et à droite. Le confort visuel est moins bon qu’avant, surtout sur grands écrans.

There are some articles that are biased with some real misinformation. One person has an experience and the author is purported to be an expert just because they have some degree with little or no relevance to real world people, just some niche group who would like to be considered mainstream. As much as I love the start page with some interesting articles, it seems most days lately, theories put forth as facts are out of touch with mainstream America.

Hi,

I noticed that somewhat recently the way new tab loooks has changed.

I always liked having it zoomed in, but I noticed that now when I zoom it in - it focuses on the empty space above tiles, which makes no sense to me. Ideally I would want the firefox logo to always be on top to get rid of the empty space and show more tiles.

This pretty much summarizes the issue, I hope it makes sense. Included a screenshot of what I am taking about.

Hello,

After today's FF update my new tab has the FF logo obscuring the image. I've tried removing it in about:config by setting this preference to false: browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.logowordmark.alwaysVisible But it didn't work.

I don't want the logo and also don't want the search bar. I want just the image.

When that didn't work, I tried going to Settings->Home->New Windows and Tabs I was able to set Homepage and New Windows to a Custom URL, but not New Tabs.

What's up with this??

I read somewhere to try using a custom css and set the attribute of .logo-and-wordmark to none. I don't know how to do that.

Is there a workaround that doesn't involve creating a custom css? If not, I'd like some advice on how to create a css.

Many Thanks! - Andre'a

What happened to the home page? It now has a different format after a recent update. There is too much white space and the placement of the desired icons has shifted down on the page.

Anyone have any experience with this annoying issue?

Thanks.
