Firefox Community Forum

I just got a new Mac laptop and I again chose Firefox as my default browser. I used to have a series small tabs of frequently accessed websites at the top of the firefox home page...like my google email, Amazon, etc. I tried to do that again, only now I end up with a whole series of websites and bookmarks all across the top of the page : Yahoo, Bing, Wikipedia, Twitter, etc,. etc. I want to get rid of this lineup and I'd like to be able to add my personal email, and a few other frequently visited websites. I thought that these small tabs at the top of the page were called shortcuts - but after turning the toggle on an off in firefox settings and not changing a thing - I don't know what they are or how to delete what's there and get my person tabs back. Please help.

when i click my shortcut button in task bar I get 2 tab trying to open. the first on the left is the FF search page and the second is my preferred home page WWW.MSN.COM. The same thing happens if i click the home button in the tool bar. i have tried deleting and reinstalling FF and get the same thing. this has only been happening for aprox 2-3 weeks

Hello, my Firefox updated to v. 155 today. The "Smart Window" is interesting, but it hijacked all the New Tabs and New Windows. Therefore, I am unable to access the traditional Firefox Homepage with wallpaper, search box, weather, recent pages, etc. Instead, there is only a "Smart Search" which defaults to speaking to the AI. In order to perform a websearch, I must select from a drop-down. --> THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF PRODUCTIVITY. It slows me down, and produces a nuisance rather than benefit. How may I access the traditional Firefox Homepage please? I need those features. Thank you!

When I first start up Firefox this populates the address box http://search.anysearchmanager.com/?hsypt=iima&pub_id=3000&affid=A0X7K_set_bfr_H. this is also accompanied with a warning that this is a possibly compromised site. If it is a bad site why does it show up when I open Firefox? HOw do I make it go away?

I am trying to turn off stories that show up on Firefox Home Page. I do not like them, it clutters the homepage. But every time I turn the option off in settings, it automatically reverts back on and the stories do not disappear. This is an update that I am not a fan of as a user.

when I click on a news article it takes me to a paywall instead of just presenting the article an example is USA Today. I don't want to join USA, I just want to read what interests me. Microsoft news does not do that.

Can not change default Firefox home page in settings. I am 78 years old & know nothing about computers. Thank You

When I open Firefox on my MacBook Pro laptop, the widgets will not load content. The first attached images is a screenshot of a current display. the other two images are screenshots of troubleshooting steps that appear to relate, but I'm not sure which might apply. When I try Step 1 "Force Enable System Widgets", I have found the setting to be "false"...which I set to True...but that doesn't fix the problem.
