I use to be able to hold my thumb on a bookmarked site on my Start Screen and a menu would pop up giving me the option to remove it from the Start Screen. Since upgrading I can't do that. So how do I remove a bookmarked site from the Start Screen?

Which start screen (URL) are you referring to?

Is this the about:newtab page that shows the thumbnail of most visited websites?

See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

cor-el, this is a Firefox OS question.

hlndrfan: Unfortunately, you can not remove the top sites on the start screen. You can clear the cookies and stored data if you would like to, remove the top sites. Top sites are based on your visits to the website.

  1. To clear your cookies and data from the browser, complete the following steps:
  2. Open the browser and tap the tab in the upper right.
    • The sidebar will open.
  3. Tap the gear button at the top to open the browser settings.
  4. Tap the Clear cookies and private data button.

Thank you
