A long time ago I was able to set the max number of rows for shortcuts on the Firefox home page to 5. Sometime fairly recently it has changed to 4. I don't know why nor can I remember which line in about;config I used to change it. I think the line was "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesRows" but when I try to change it, it does nothing. At the time I first changed it, the max it would change to was 5. The max now appears to be 4 if I did it correctly. Your help would be appreciated.

I am able to save tabs to collections. However, there is no collections section on my homescreen, despite support articles and questions indicating it should just be there. When I turn shortcuts and stories on, they still do not appear. How do I make collections show up?

Hello, I'm using Firefox on Linux Mint. All of my homepage shortcuts have disappeared without the option to add them back. I tried toggling the shortcuts option on and off and nothing happens. Nothing also happens when checking and unchecking the sponsored shortcuts setting.

I've previously asked this question but it has been archived without any action.

I have the current Android Firefox installed, my homepage setting has 'recently visited' UNCHECKED, but the homepage is adding all my recently, or possibly 'frequently visited' visited, pages! Swipe sideways to show even more of them. The only thing that should be on my homepage are shortcuts - things that I wanted to pin - since the specifically unticked 'recently visited'.

This is a privacy issue as well as just a bug. Please fix this urgently.

I've also put this on my review on Play store as I consider it something that needs attention...

The favicons on my homepage are not appearing when I launch Firefox, and I can't find any way to restore them. Turning the favicons on/off in the settings doesn't help, it just moves the location of the search bar. I've included some images to better illustrate the problem.

Is there any way we can restore the favicons?

My shortcuts no longer appear on my homepage. This just started happening. Shortcuts are still enabled in my settings. I refreshed Firefox. The shortcuts reappeared for a while, then disappeared again when I closed/reopened Firefox. I am on Windows 11 O/S

Please let me know how to get my favorite sites back on my home screen. I use them a lot as they are real time savers. When I signed on this morning, it asked if I wanted Firefox to access my computer. I've always said yes and the updates have never caused a problem - until today.

I would appreciate an email ([edited email from community support forum]) letting me know how to get this to work.

Why doesn't Firefox recognize my correct location? It gives me the weather for Chicago, IL on my homepage. I don't live in IL. MS Windows and Edge have my correct location, so why doesn't Firefox?

I have tried to change weather location on my Firefox homepage by putting in the correct town and state, then hitting the search icon but nothing happens, although once I was redirected to the AcuWeather site.

This is not that big a deal as I can get my weather on my Samsung phone, but it is puzzling.

Thanks for your time--Maureen

My homepage saved sites are just not showing anymore when I start Mozilla or open a new tab. They are still saved but they are not showing up at all, I have checked about:config and everything is still there. I have tried following things: 1. restart Mozilla 2. restart PC 3. refresh Mozilla (this worked... for 1 day, I had to manually put all the saved sites again but they again disappeared when I turned on PC the next day)

However, if I enter troubleshoot mode, everything is still there and working. So I assumed it is an extension or a theme problem, which would be a great solve if I had any really. I have no extensions and I use the same basic theme that I start with. So I tried disabling hardware acceleration, didn't work. I am running out of ideas really other than switching to Chrome at this point.

Attaching files to show the issue. Not shown is the regular mode, the shown one is the troubleshoot mode

The browser is very nice and fast, but Firefox only shows 8 of your favorite sites on the home screen. Please increase this visibility to 30. The home screen has a huge screen, but there are unnecessary shortcuts like tabs are pasted, and people don't use them anyway. There is also the option to add tabs under the settings shortcuts, but instead of adding tabs when returning to the home screen, a home shortcut can be added, and it would be more useful.

When I launch Firefox iOS for mobile and press on any of my pinned favorites, nothing happens. To actually access the pinned favorites or recently accessed browser pages it is now a 3-step process instead of 1. The first step is to press AND hold the favorite you want to access. When depressed, a menu of options appears which gives the user the option to choose “Open in new tab.” When the “Open in New Tab” option is chosen a blue banner appears below that reads “Open in new tab” at which point the favorite or recently visited site opens up. This had been going on for months until about a week ago but is back again and it is annoying!!!

Previously, I had my firefox homepage configured to not show shortcuts or recently visited websites, as I feel it is clutter. However, recently, shortcuts have re-appeared, with no option to disable/hide them in the homepage settings (Settings > Homepage only shows Stories, Wallpaper, and app Opening Screen; see attached image). Wondering if this is a feature that was removed (if so, would love to see this reverted), if it is a bug that needs fixing, or I'm missing something.

Recently, my homepage has started showing shortcuts again, a feature I previously had turned off cause I dislike it and it often just shows random sites and searches I've done. I went to turn it off again, only for the toggle switch or shortcuts section of the customization settings to not be there at all??? Is this a glitch? Because I don't like this feature and I really hope they've changed it to something you can't turn off

It is pathetic and shows greed that whenever I do a search, their website shortcut is added to your landing page,m resulting in lost of sites I CHOOSE to access.

Stop the GREED and advise how I can stop this from happening.

I'm unhappy with the new version of the app, 143.0, which my app was just updated to. Specifically, the appearance of the tab homepage. The empty space previously occupied by the search bar at the top of the screen, and the lack of features such as recently opened tabs, or the "Jump Back In" box, both of which have been removed in favour of irrelevant stories. The ability to turn back on features like that would be greatly appreciated.

In addition, updating seems to have completely cleared out my app's history, now only showing me my synced history from other devices.
