Firefox Community Forum

Hi, asking on behalf of my friend who is paranoid that he now has adware.

He has the default firefox homepage setup with the 'recommended stories' enabled. He noticed that on one occasion it had a banner ad in between the recommended stories redirecting to an affinity.net link. He has ublock origin.

He even made a mockup of what it looked like, attached the image.

I couldn't actually replicate this on my end, are these official mozilla ads?

I installed Mozilla, there was a shortcut + on the home page. I added my shortcuts and deleted unnecessary ones, those that were by default. After that, the shortcut + disappeared. How can I return the shortcut +

Firefox does not properly install icons to the home page shortcuts. Where are these stored so I can manually add the proper icons, or, is there another way to reliably install the proper icons? Some urls pick up the proper icon on their own, many do not. This is irritating. The email me checkbox at the bottom of this page is non functional.

in settings Homepage and new windows use custom urls, current urls doesn't include Pinned tabs. Windows updated and when firefox was restored two windows were opened, one was blank and the other opened old home page settings but did not reopen all my pinned tabs, gmail, yahoo mail,and some other tabs I plnned, there are 5 of them and several regular tabs I had open before and most of them did not show up in history. Pinned tabs do not get included in use custom urls for the home pages. Also for several days my roboform bar would not show up, roboform said no open browers to attach to when firefox was open.

For some reason the pictures and articles don't match up. There is a picture of one thing and the article that goes with it is the next picture over. It seem like the picture is what determines which article you are reading. But the ads all line up perfectly. It's really strange. Like everything is one off to the left. Not sure if I am explaining this well and I am not a computer person so I have no clue why it is happening.

I WANT TO ADD YAHOO.COM TO MY HOMEPAGE . I ALREADY HAVE 6 OTHER ICONS THERE: AMAZON, GOOGLE, AOL, FOX NEWS, SMITHS FOODS, AND CHASE. HOW DO I ADD A 7TH TO MY HOMEPAGE? THANK YOU, LYNN STRATMAN

The icons on my home page suddenly became significantly reduced in size. Sure, I can tell what they are, and I've increased the text size for their identifiers below the icons. But they are now so small as to be not pleasing to the eye. How can I put them back the way they wuz?

How can I adjust my Pocket selections so that I never see another prompt for Darius Firoux? I am sick of seeing a link to his inane drivel keep popping up on my screen and having to dismiss it. What is the point of having suggestions presented to me if they are not only shit, but that I have to repeatedly tell you that they are shit and that I have no interest in reading that shit. Thanks.

Dear Firefox Team,

I am using Firefox on my computer and have encountered a few issues:

1. When I delete all the website shortcuts, I am unable to add new website shortcuts. There is no option available to add them back.

2. When I use the "Unpin" option, the shortcut gets deleted completely, instead of just being unpinned. Ideally, the shortcut should remain available after unpinning.

I kindly request you to address these issues in an upcoming update so that users can have a smoother browsing experience.

Thank you.

My home page has a Firefox image and the word "Firefox" at the top. That's new here, and I don't want it. It chews up too much real estate, but I can't find a way to get rid of it. Nothing in the Settings appearance choices affects it. It didn't used to be there. How do I get rid of it?

after an update i couldn't ignore the now deadcentered firefox logo and wordmark and i can't stop being bothered by its sudden appierance. I looked into the settings and dissabled the EXCACT setting for this problem in the "about:config" going for the one with "wordmark" in the setting but its done nothing.

Customization:

I want to change the Microsoft desktop icons on shortcuts to a number of internet URLs. Unlike with other shortcuts, this is not possible with Firefox. Too many of the same icon are confusing. Seems to me it would be a simple and useful option.
