Firefox Community Forum

Greetings, For the past 10 years, when our company would open Firefox in Windows, it would open directly to our company Intranet. This was configured using group policy.

Last week, after our Firefox versions were all updated to version 149, every time firefox opens, it opens to the "Firefox homepage". Nothing on our end was changed.

Clicking the home button does take us to our intranet, but I cannot get firefox to open to our intranet automatically.

I went back to version 148, launched firefox, and Intranet appears.

I then let firefox auto updated to 149, and the intranet does not open automatically.

Please help. Possibly a bug?

When I open firefox on my computer, it opens to a custom URL that links to a facebook page that I must've put in 5 years ago. I don't want this, and clear the link in the homepage and new windows under home in firefox settings, and switch it to firefox home (default) for "Homepage and new windows" in the firefox settings.. The problem is that when I open firefox again the next day, it opens up facebook again instead of a browser firefox tab and the "homepage and new windows" is under custom url with that facepage page url. I am a new firefox user and want to continue to use firefox but this is a headache.

I am on windows 11 home, and using a gaming tower if that is of any help.

Thank you for any help. I appreciate it :)

Hi there. I accidentally downloaded an app "startfenster.de" when updating VLC player. I deleted the app from my laptop but the website still opens whenever I start firefox. I tried changing the settings for the Browser, cleaning the cache, rebooting the laptop but nothing works. What can I do? The website https://www.startfenster.de/ doesn't seem to be dangerous but I still fnid it rather annoying. Thank you for your help! Katrin

Every time I visit a website, it creates a shortcut on homepage, and Its annoying... 😖Please can Mozilla developers separate the "sites you save" and "sites you visit" under Shortcut option, I would be grateful.

Thanks.

I have been using this site for a very long time, but, since lastnight (Tuesday January 27, 2026) everything is different. My Theme was gone, the sites I visit were not responding. Am I supposed to set up this page each time I want to use Mozilla? If this is the new normal, then I will not be here long.

Thanks

The default FF homepage; I like it. It's cool that it gives me a few things to look at the refresh occasionally, and that they're filtered by subject. However there's some sites I don't wish to go to. Either sites that feel like clickbait or sites that have a paywall attached to them. I'd rather they not show up at all.

The thumbs down button does not work for this... in fact I'm not sure exactly what it does. For example there's a website that comes up on the NBA section that is always low effort, bad content click bait. But it's popular because of the sensationalism. I've thumbs downed specifically that website at least 30 times now and it's still a regular pop up under that section.

If there's a way to stop these sites from showing (not just stopping me from going the website through a website blocking app) that would be rad. It feels like an easy button to have.

I would like my home page to be the ABC news site. However, the default seems to be Brisbane Qld. No matter how many times I change it to my location, which is Melbourne Vic. and then select "use current page" in settings, next time I turn on my PC, it's back to Brisbane. Is there a way to set my home page permanently to show my location (Melbourne Vi.) ? Regards, Manfred

I'd like to have no news, people stories, nothing on my screen when I open my browser. Is that possible? I'm ready for the world to slow down and get more connected to nature. Thank you.

I will rather that when I open Firefox, it opens to a specific page such as Refdesk.com. Please guide me to where I may select this option. Thanks
