how to get rid of sponsored shortcuts
How can I get rid of sponsored shortcuts in which I have no interest? There is no room for the tabs I actually use and one has dropped off entirely.

The weather widget on my FireFox homepage, as well as the information when I type "weather" into the address bar shows me as in Montreal QC, Canada. But I am in New Hampshire, USA. When I try to type a different city name after clicking the 3 dots next to the widget and choosing change location the only cities that come up are Canadian cities.
I am not running any kind of VPN, and when I check my location with an IP lookup it shows me in the correct location, my locale settings in Windows are set the the US as well.
Thanks for any help!

I deleted all the shortcuts from Firefox desktop browser's homepage and now I cannot add them back.
There are no blank shortcut icons on the page anymore. No setting to enable them. Shortcuts are enabled. Page is mostly blank, only has Firefox icon.
I tried to close and open Firefox as well as disabling and enabling the shortcut setting. Adding more rows did not do anything.
Before this issue occurred, I had one shortcut on the page that was linking to localhost. I opened the edit window to the shortcut and pasted the same address and saved changes. After that I removed the shortcut. All of the blank tiles immediately got removed from page and I had no way of adding more shortcuts.

I was really shocked and horrified to see Firefox place the Qatari regime's propaganda mouthpiece on my home screen. The Qatari regime is one of the worlds worst abusers of human rights. It allows no political parties, tolerates no criticism, and severely punishes online dissent. It has absolutely no LGBQ rights, is deeply misogynistic and antisemitic and uses slave labor extensively. Additionally, it is a known supporter of extremism and terrorism. It is not OK to push their propaganda outlet on the front page.

How do I get searches (my default is Google) to STOP going to the address bar? This started out of the blue and it is making me crazy. I don't want to be asked which search to use, and I don't want it to search in the address bar. I want it in the search box. Thanks.

hi
the element i really like / liked about Pocket were the curated stories that firefox publishes on its new tab page.
yes i used the "save to pocket" option but one can easily enough just visit the article and bookmark in the normal way.
NOTE: i think i wasn't appreciating the offline easy-to-read aspect to pocket (because i'd just read the article online and/or save to pocket) but it's too late now!
I've seen articles on multiple websites and reddit about pocket alternatives but people seem to only talk about pocket in terms of the capacity to save-to-read-later, tagging, book marking management, etc.
Btw, i've read the mozilla pocket FAQ support page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pocket-recommendations-firefox-new-tab). It was updated mid march 2025 (when mozilla surely knew they were shutting down pocket) and ironically it recommends for more articles to visit pocket.
1) this FAQ really needs to be updated to reflect pocket ceasing
2) it could reflect what is happening with the "thought-provoking stories" feature within firefox browser
My questions:
1) will the "thought provoking stories" feature aka curated articles of interest continue in firefox in any capacity after pocket ceases?
i don't know given i believe they're sourced from pocket.
EDIT: i've just discovered about "pocket hits" (or "ten tabs" as reportedly it's being renamed to) email newsletter. I knew nothing about this. Might the content / curated articles replace those from pocket on the new tab page?
2) if not, can people suggest alternatives to pocket's curated articles (i'm less fussed about saving the articles because i've seen many recommendations on that)?
thanks,
Gary
Home suddenly has all these suggestions ("popular today") even though turned off in settings

Здравствуйте. Не хватает гибкая настройка главной вкладки с моими сохраненными сайтами, а именно отключение "посещаемые сайты", чтобы их не пришлось каждый раз "удалять из истории" или "скрывать" из главного, ведь для меня это лишний мусор. Возможно ли добавить такую настройку?
Спасибо за внимание! Прошу извинить, что пишу на своём родном языке, так удобнее выразить свою мысль поточнее.

I updated to Firefox 151.0 and lost many links on the title page. The "new tab" window shows only 4 rows and "6" columns of tiles. I went from 32 clickable links to 23 links. For some reason the last row has only 5 columns. How do I recover my lost links and how do I restore the look to 150.0.3? Thank you in advance.

I had to actually sign up fort a Mozilla account,the multiple hoops I had to jump through were ridicules, in order to ask a question of Firefox. I do not want my address bar to be my search engine. How do I disable the search engine in my address bar? And now I have to wait for an answer!!!!!!!! I used to love and trust Firefox. Not anymore.

Hi,
I noticed that somewhat recently the way new tab loooks has changed.
I always liked having it zoomed in, but I noticed that now when I zoom it in - it focuses on the empty space above tiles, which makes no sense to me. Ideally I would want the firefox logo to always be on top to get rid of the empty space and show more tiles.
This pretty much summarizes the issue, I hope it makes sense. Included a screenshot of what I am taking about.

I went to settings to make sure Firefox Home was the default loaded on New Tabs, which it is. How do I fix this?

I'm sorry, maybe the problem was there in previous versions however I just noticed it. Or rather the absence of it. The problem is when I open a new tab where I had that mini weather report widget enabled (and I checked that the button in the settings is set to be enabled) the widget is not there anymore, nowhere to be seen.
I made two screenshots of my browser's new tab with no weather widget and one with the settings open to show that the weather widget on/off button is enabled. I'm sorry however that I had to blur things I thought it would be sensitive information.
My OS is Win11 Home Greek and my Firefox is in Greek as well.

Suddenly I cannot search from the search bar. It defaults to the address bar. why "fix" something that was not broken. Being forced to use the address bar is frustrating. If you go directly to the address bar, it tells you it cannot find that site.
