Firefox-mienskipsfoarum

Very many news agencies now require paid subscription to read their articles. I don't want to see those companies lead in for articles in my Firefox home page.

Google news home page (news.google.com/home) has an option and others by clicking the three dots ... to the right of article title lead in. There are multiple choices offered among those options is: HIDE ALL STORIES FROM ------ (it doesn't name the news agency because it is to the right of that SPECIFIC article). Presto no more show up in news.google.com/home.

Now that more and more news vendors require paid subscriptions to read even their first article it is a great feature I have used for years on news.google.com/home. But now I am regularly using Firefox home page and sure miss that feature.

Finally I wish I could afford to pay for so many and truly there are now many require paid subscription to read even the first article. Others let you read one.

Anyway thank you for your consideration. I think it provides a competitive edge if not overwhelmingly complicated to enact.

I am trying to turn off stories that show up on Firefox Home Page. I do not like them, it clutters the homepage. But every time I turn the option off in settings, it automatically reverts back on and the stories do not disappear. This is an update that I am not a fan of as a user.

Default homepage is yahoo. Since the update to version 149, if I do a search from yahoo, the new tab that opens with the search result is blank most of the time. I have to click reload for the search results to show up.

Is anybody else having that problem? Seems to be yahoo search specific but not 100% sure.

Why is about:home is completely blank? Updating to Firefox 153.03Beta made it all disappear. Must I reinstall Windows-XI for this user-interface not loading anything that has been updated on Firefox 155.03Beta? I will attempt an optimization and see if that does anything. If it does, I will close this; but if not, it is quite some new bug.

now using 153.0.1 from old 140.13.0 but i do not see a home page icon so i can go back to the home page after visiting a web site such as facebook, etc. in settings i have Firefox set as default, but still do not see the little house icon for going to home page. How do I get the home page icon to appear somewhere with 153.0.1

Firefox Desktop version 152 has a terrible homepage layout. Too much space is unusable, the huge logo can't be removed to save space, and the layout for bookmarks is a mess. I'm going to add 2 images taken from previous versions to show what I (and I'm sure many other users) would like to see.

Mozilla developers really need to fix this problem.

My Home page is a local HTML file featuring a CSS-based tabbed notebook holding links organized into various categories. When exiting FF, I always have this page as the active browser tab, so that on start-up it's still the active one in the event of multiple open browser tabs.

Until v151.0.4 (and still now with v152.0), if I exited FF with the active notebook tab (actually a styled radio button under the hood) in my CSS tabbed notebook something other than the first/leftmost tab, FF would restart with that being the active tab, but after a few seconds of CPU activity as the browser initialized the active notebook tab would switch to the first/leftmost one. (In my HTML I also have <input type="radio" name="tabs" checked> specified for this first/leftmost instance.)

Since the update, however, it remains stuck on the one from the last browser session as first displayed. I suppose I can live with this, but I do wonder what accounts for the change in behavior. If it's by design, where is it documented? If not ... maybe it calls for a bug report.

don't want other sites visited saved to home page

how do I save only pinned websites on home page? Do not want to add any website to the home page unless it is pinned.

I have no bookmarks on my firefox home page; CCleaner removed them. I have since stopped using CCleaner, but I'm trying to restore the home page bookmarks. I see the "+" sign, and when I click it, a box form opens. I enter the site name and URL, and click submit, but nothing is created. I have rebooted and tried many times, but the add button does not do anything. I only want 5 or 6 links, but I can't even place one.

On the home screen all the boxes are greyed out. I guess they are meant to be links to videos and information, weather etc etc? I am on Windows 11, my version is up to date (151.0.3 (64-bit).

I have cleared cache etc and troubleshooter to reset Firefox but still no good. I have recently gone back to FF from Chrome as Chrome has so many issues.

All I want is the ability to have my weather in the upper right hand corner of my opening screen. It was that way then you people decide for some reason that it should belong as a Widget in the lower area of my opening screen. But sense I do now want all three of your Widgets, I am left with this very awkward looking screen. Then a new update was released and my weather was returned to the upper right area of my opening screen. Then today you people updated again, and the Widget was returned to the lower left area of my opening screen.

Since you people clearly can't make up your minds, is there any possibility that you could see your way clear to offering us (your users) the ability to select where we would like the Weather the appear? Please say "Yes". Thank you.

why not

Best Buy Tech support took control of my computer today to get my printer to scan to the computer. After that was done, I went to my FIREFOX hompage only to see it completely changed from the way it was and I am now trying to get it back.

Attached below is a screenshot of my homepage for Firefox desktop (Windows 11). I have uBlock Origin, but it doesn't block anything on the homepage. I have two specific concerns:

• I tried inputting both gmail.com and mail.google.com addresses for the URL of my shortcut, but it always displays a generic icon instead.
• The YouTube icon isn't transparent.

I used the same layout/theme on a previous Windows 11 install and these two problems did not occur at all. What's the possible solution for this?
