Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Firefox (and add Sites shortcuts) 2. Do not navigate to any website 3. Observe network activity using Process Monitor or clash verge

Expected Behavior: - Opening about:home should not establish TCP connections to remote sites unless the user interacts with them.

Actual Behavior: - TCP connections are observed immediately to sites listed in Top Sites shortcuts, even without user interaction.

Notes: - Disabling DNS prefetch, speculative preconnect, and predictor settings does not prevent these connections. - Extensions have been ruled out, I can distinguish darkreader.org(extention) mozilla.org(update) and reddit.com(your sponsor url) from *.edu.*(my shortcuts), DON'T mention that. - Connections occur before any page navigation or clicks. - I suspect that Firefox may attempt to load site icons (favicon / tile thumbnails), but this is unconfirmed.

Where are my shortcut tiles? I used CCleaner and they all disappeared and I can't get them back even though I make sure they were on and have 2 rows selected and restarted my computer since. This happened last week and still no sign of them. See pic for reference.

When I opened a new Firefox page it contained links to more or less interesting articles in newspapers. For some reason I had to reset Firefox, now everything works fine again. But the links to articles are gone and I have no idea how to get them back. Any hints?

I used to have about 40 quick links, or bookmarks on my home page. I had pinned several. Others appeared according to how often I used them. The latest update deleted all but 3. I am very unhappy. How can I get rid of this update and bring back my quick links? I guess I will have to go back to Brave.

W11 Main screen, I have all 4 rows turned on.

This happened some time ago and then stopped doing it, I don't know why.

All of a sudden Firefox is back to filling open (and unused) shortcut positions, with old links pulled from the history file. This is clutter. It just started happening. I can manually clear the old links with a millions delete clicks and the empty shortcut position remain free for that session. when I get out of the main screen and return, the unused positions have refilled with old links from history again.

How to I stop this?
