Hi folks!

My Firefox just updated and I'm now receiving the recommended stories (along with the widgets and recent activity.) when I open a New Tab. I was able to disable the widgets and activity and I see the place where I can turn off the Stories, but they are not going away.

In the "Customize" menu accessible via the pencil icon on the New Tab page, toggling Stories off does not make them go away; reloading the page, the toggle is re-enabled.

In the general Settings menu, accessible via the hamburger menu and under "Home and startup," I have Stories ("Exceptional content curated by the Firefox family") toggled off. The toggle does not reset, but the stories still display.

How can I fix this? Thank you all very much in advance.

To be honest. Firefox is starting to be a big pain to use. I'm starting to see more and more of this screen where it say's "Be careful. Something doesn't look right" Even when i go to the advance and say proceed. Nothing happens and i'm getting no where. I know many of the sites don't have anything to do with asking for credit card, Scam or even having popup's. I test the sites in other browsers and there work without any issues. But Firefox is starting to lock me out of many sites due to this. How can i make this stop. As i used Firefox for many years.

The sample that is in the screenshot is a Anime data base that i have also used for years. But today shows this. But was working fine yesteday. What is going on and how can i fix it. So i can start using the browser that i love on the sites i want to.

Hi, I believe this is some kind of bug/issue after the latest browser update (as I've quite literally never had this issue before). I like my launch page not to be cluttered with nonsense, no widgets, no activity, just my standard pinned shortcuts and the google search bar. However, after the latest update, "stories" have been on and have stayed on (despite altering all the settings that should get rid of it altogether). Even after turning it off, it appears it turns itself back on immediately. I don't want to see this junk and shouldn't have to, no one should, I even went to the trouble of blocking all topics in hopes the thing would just vanish. It did not. I hoped to report this to Mozilla more directly but couldn't find a meaningful bug report option. If anyone else has encountered this or if anyone has a true solution, I'd like to hear it, thank you.

Tabs do not restore, although that option is checked. History shows old tabs, not tabs at time of Firefox exit.

MacOS 26.6, Latest Firefox. 153.0.3. Tabs are not restoring, since update to latest FF. Tab History shows old stale tabs, not the tabs that were present at time of exiting Firefox. I had closed those tabs. Is this an artifact of caching?

The active tabs should be stored at FF shutdown, not the old closed tabs prior to that. This Firefox quirk is both on my Mac Mini M4, and on my MacBook Pro M3. Kind of a pain in the neck to restore where I was. It's enough to make me reconsider this browser - which I have used for decades, using Windows, Linux and now MacOS.

I researched how to restore a session. It told me to go to History and click Restore Session. There is no line with that name, in my Firefox, on a Mac.

Under History the docs show 4 items before "Clear recent history...", I only have 1. Recently closed tabs 2. Recently closed windows 3. Search history. There is no Restore session.

The tabs that were open last session are in the start up window, and the check box is set to restore tabs and windows. But my tabs were not restored. (I only had a single window open.)

What can be done to "restore" previous behavior of Restore Tabs and Windows? Thanks for any and all assistance.

This is from Cabelas.com but I am getting it more and more from other web sites. American Airlines, Delta.com, etc. I accessed the help and did all the steps about fingerprinting and turning off "enhanced tracking protection" and nothing helps. Any ideas? Don't like the idea of using Chrome or Edge, but Firefox is almost unusable for me now. If I have to keep using another browser for the sites, may as well just use that one only.
