https://www.msn.com/en-gb?ocid=wispr&pc=u477 Every time I open Firefox MSN News opens up , how do I stop it or block it , It's so annoying I cannot find out how to do it , widgets are off in taskbar, do have installed Edge and Chrome, Firefox is the default browser,

All of the sudden Firefox no longer opening previous windows and tabs on startup, which is how I have had it set up forever.

The last few days, instead of opening previous windows and tabs when I launch FF, it opens mu Home Page. I then have to "reopen previously-closed windows " or "restore previous session."

Regardless of which I choose, I then have to manually close the first FF instance (the one with the single tab - my home page). Then when I'm done with my browser and I X out of it (or Exit" out), when I come back in the same thing happens - I'm presented with my home page, not my open tabs.

I want to make myMSN ( URL is www.msn.com/?pc=U506&ocid=U506DHp ) my Firefox Home Page. I have tried all the suggested methods but apparently I'm not doing something correctly because none of them have worked. The closest I've come to success is pasting the URL in the Home Page option in Firefox Settings, but I can't get it to stay there. There is no "SAVE" button to click on. My old computer (running Windows 10) had no trouble setting myMSN as my Firefox Home Page but this new computer running Windows 11 is making it extremely hard (impossible so far). I have tried following suggested methods step-by-step but without success. Please help.

I would like to add another shortcut to the Firefox home page, but although there is enough room to add one in the second row, no spaces with an edit tool are visible or available. I am using a MacBookPro with an M3Pro chip.

After firefox update, start page changed to first photo i added here, second photo is how it was before, is there any way to get it back? Before update i had version 131.0b9, now its 136.0b1

The third line from top of Firefox home page Most visited, pinned sites and other Bookmarks keeps disappearing when I open Firefox. I go to more troubleshooting and Clear startup cache and on restart it comes back. However this continues to happen not ever time I open Firefox but maybe about 3 or 4 times a week. Using most recent version of Firefox.

If I enter file:///d:/web/index.html in the search box then it returns the expected web page but if I edit it into a Firefox home page shortcut then I'm told a valid URL is required. A bit of research here makes me think I need to edit policies.json but I can't find that file in Windows 10, Firefox 139.0.1. I note that the posts giving the advice are six years old and Firefox has changed greatly since then. Please could someone tell me the current method to achieve what I want?

Hi, y'all, I used to use the weather on new tab feature a lot until the latest update seems to have taken that feature away? Is this intentional or am I missing something? Here is an example of what it looks like: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-items-on-firefox-new-tab-page#w_weather

Some troubleshooting I've tried so far:

• I clicked the gear icon to go to settings, but there is no settings for weather anymore.
• I turned off my VPN, because I heard it was available to U.S. and Canada users only, I am in the U.S.
• I closed firefox and reloaded.

Any tips/help is appreciated.
