Firefox Community Forum

Some Firefox update recently put that huge banner of wasted space with a Firefox logo on the top of my Home Page. Before we could go into config and take it away, but no more. This giant banner is invisible, but pushes all my tiles linking to saved pages well below the window of my laptop. Weird choice, and apparently, everyone hates it. Please good people of Mozilla, rethink this nonsense. This is a FEEDBACK, from a long longtime user and admirer of Mozilla, and a yearly donator. Have pity.

Hi,

I have changed homepage in the settings section, but, on first starting up firefox i get the Google homepage as my initial screen. I really dont want this, so i have checked everything, changed homepage url, removed google search option, and even checked the shortcut and .exe properties, and none of them point to google, yet it still persists. Is there any way to stop this happening please.

Further to this, if i open a new tab i get the firefox page, and when i click home it opens my saved homepage url.

In the previous version of the Firefox opening screen, I had a Google search bar. Below this would be the most popular sites I had visited in a three line grid.

Since the update, the Firefox logo and a huge amount of white space now occupies nearly half the screen before we even get get to the Google search bar. The three line grid of most recent sites has been pushed to the bottom third of the screen and the third line of the grid I actually have to scroll down to see.

On my home screen, the visited sites are all crammed to one side, lower left, and all narrow in their appearance. I prefer they look as they did before, with the "tabs" or site boxes along the bottom of my regular sites. And I can't seem to "delete" the sites I visit; I can only dismiss them. And that often doesn't work as well either.

A couple days ago I started getting a blank page for the Firefox home page. FF is set as my default browser and FF default for windows and tabs. The home page was working fine but now I can't figure out how to get it back.

after the last update of firefox, the default firefox home page doesn't load. Instead, I get the message: Oops, something went wrong loading this content. Any ideas?

why not

When on the home screen and with setting "3 rows" for shortcuts, the third row has two missing slots and I cannot add extra ones to fill in the gap. I don't want to make it "4 rows" as it will show an "add shortcuts" button which I feel is unnecessary if I plan to leave the 4th row empty. It is also happening on LibreWolf

My homepage disappeared after the last update. I wanted it back. I had all of my favorite apps that I like to go to, and then I had all of the news topics underneath, and it was all nice and clean on one page where I can click and open a link. Now I just see icons and it’s not showing me the entire page like before.

as soon as i startup firefox it has a quick flash of white before the background image comes up. it happens on new profiles/troubleshooting mode.

i have tried disabling hardware acceleration and it doesnt seem to help.

on my pc I had no problem with Firefox. Have moved into a residential care home so have new, windows 11, laptop. Can't get the Firefox front page only opens via Google. Not used to having such difficulties but maybe at 86 I am slowing down
