Firefox Community Forum

Pretty simple. Every time I click any "news" link on my home page in Firefox it always runs into a pay wall. This is crap as these losers get a hit count to their site, get to load ads (for some people), and so on but I don't get to read the article. And who know s what kinda crap they are dumping into my cache. This needs to be fixed or the "feature" removed. This is basic privacy shit not included in a browser that tries to brag about privacy features.....

Hello,

On the Firefox home page, there are shortcuts. I have pinned some of these shortcuts. When I click on a shortcut, it opens in the current tab. I would like to have the shortcut I click, open in a new tab, without having to Ctrl+click Is this possible?

hi there

after the last firefox update i am unable to access my webmail at first, but now i have lost my firefox home page that has all my saved icons/shortcuts to frequent web pages.

at the moment i am using having to use another browser to access my emails.

if i want to go through the history/bookmark tabs i can find some of my saved web pages. still cant access my webmail this way.

i am running windows 10 for the moment.

thanks for your help.

I'm an 81 yr old white male. I've chosen Firefox as my browser for 2 reasons. I feel that it keeps me relatively safe, and I enjoy the stories you choose for the home page. The problem is that over the years,, many stories on the homepage require the reader to subscribe to the story's source in order to read it.

For a man my age, that's nuts.....subscribe just to read that one story.....not gonna do it. Consequently, I've had to look elsewhere that which I wish to read. I recommend that you research other periodicals that might allow reading without the required subscription.

I need more Quick Links. 32 Quick Links is not enough. I am a project manager and have the need to be able to add an unlimited number of Quick Link Icons my main page. Is there a way to do that and if so how do I add more to my main page. If the answer is no, then when will I be able to add more Quick Links.

That doesn't work as I've already maxed out the Quick Links and I have hundreds of other bookmarks I use on a regular basis. Please advise when addition Quick Links above 32 are available. The Quick Links are one of the most valued items with Firefox and the need to add more as needed would be the most helpful feature associated with fire fox besides the tabs.

The quick links on the home page should be exactly for that QUICK LINKS! not for visited sites! also you only have four rows. OPERA have unlimited. To make matters worse, the stupid sites that I visited only once cannot be removed.

Title.

Keyboard focus properly defaults to the address bar for new normal windows, and new tabs both normal and private. It is ONLY in new private windows that the address bar does not auto-grab keyboard input.

The address bar is highlighted as though it SHOULD have input focus, but typing does nothing until I click in the address bar manually.

This is unfathomably annoying. I've tried fiddling with various settings in about:config, and I've tried running in troubleshoot mode to rule out extensions causing the issue. Also tried a fresh firefox profile and the issue persisted.

On my windows 11, when I open a new tab on my Firefox, not only do I get my apps history; there is window (widget) where news stories etc. run. I would like to get rid of this widget.

I recently changed to Firefox as my default web browser. I cannot prevent shortcuts from populating the browser when I visit sites. The sites add their shortcut no matter what.

I tried changing "settings > home" to not save shortcuts, which works. But even if I PIN those shortcuts I want to keep, they still get deleted. How do I fix this?

firefox continues to put unwanted icons on the platform even as I try to keep dismissing some of them. How do I stop and only put the ones I want there?

I HAVE A HOME PAGE WITH ICONS. BUT WHEN I OPEN FOXFIRE NOW I GET A HOME PAGE WITH ONE ICON TO ADD MORE ICONS. HOW DO I GET FOXFIRE TO OPEN MY HOME PAGE? WHAT IS GOING ON? THE FIRST PHOTO IS WHAT IT SHOULD BE AND THE SECOND IS WHAT COMES UP WHEN I OPEN FOXFIRE.

Hello. i noticed that my shortcuts are missing. i went to settings to check if it's enabled (check mark) and it is in fact enabled. tried to reset my computer and the shortcuts are still not there. on the main firefox page there is actually no shortcut icons on there...at all. all of the options in settings work with the exception (of course) the shortcuts. i would like to know why this is happening...thx

Hallo, zum wiederholten Male hat sich meine Firefox Startseite verändert und meine angelegten Tabs in der Linken Spalte sind verschwunden. Ich habe die Tabs sorgfältig angelegt und wenn Sie mir diese Einstellungen nicht wieder anlegen können, dass wechsle ich meinen Browser, weil das sehr nervig ist und unangenehm! Freundliche Grüsse, Wilfried Schlachter

So whenever I visit a website, or websites, they get added up with my shortcuts on the homepage which gets really annoying because I have to manually dismiss them everytime. for instance, I've marked them with the green circles in the picture attached here. how do i stop them from appearing here?
