The AccuWeather part of the Firefox homepage says I'm in Portland, Oregon, USA, but I'm not even in the same country. I tried to change it according to the directions I found earlier, but the only drop-down for my city was another city in the US but none in any other countries. So now I can't change my location. How do I change my location? It wasn't like this yesterday and I have no memory as to how it became "Portland, Oregon" since last night. I don't even have a VPN so it isn't that. How do I change it back to my area without using my exact location?

How do I get my apps, like Duolingo, Facebook etc. back on my Firefox page? I just perhaps, made a mistake, and downloaded the new Mozilla/Firefox page and now I don't see my apps that I use everyday. Help!

I read the FAQ about this feature. I read this about whether the stories are personalized to me:

... When personalization does occur, recommendations rely on a process of story sorting and filtering that happens locally in your personal copy of Firefox.

But there is no place that tells me how to turn this off if I don't want the stories personalized to me, and I do not want them personalized. The algorithms make assumptions about what I want to read and learn. But I want to be free to encounter and learn things that I might not otherwise come across.

How can I avoid being pigeonholed and limited in this way?

Hello! I recently updated and redownloaded Firefox after being prompted to. While everything else seems normal, the only widget accessible to me on my new tab screen now is the weather widget. I had previously equipped the to-do list widget as well as the crossword widget. Is this to be expected or have I accidentally done something wrong? Thank you!

Today I noticed there was not a new tab to click on at all times. There always has been. Now I have to go to File and open a New Tab. What changed? is there a setting to fix this? If so I can't find it.

The edit icon on lower right splash page selects which photo for background display. My photo will not display and ignores my selection. Nothing happens. I have spent 24 hours trying to customize my Firefox but cannot complete my goal. Help!

I do not care to see the "widgits" on my desktop opening page. It appeared a few days ago. I do not want to be obligated to its appearance there. A User of FoxFire should be given the opportunity to elect to have it or not. I do not remember reading that it was going to appear. I was concerned when it first appeared. Does it have to be there??? [edited email from community support forum]

As of today, the wallpaper I'd set for my homepage/new tabs pages is gone and there's no way to choose a different one. Is this just me or or are other people having this problem?

When I downloaded Firefox, I was able to add sites in a start page. There were sponsored sites like Amazon, Wikipedia, Reddit. I deleted those and added my own. Can you tell me where to find that page?

In the settings, I selected a custom url for the homepage. The only other choice was the Firefox default page (which doesn't have the sites that I selected)

Thanks.

How can I increase the number of website icons when I open a new tab in Firefox and get rid of the so-called news items? Right now I only have room for about 8 websites to choose from

Why are there ZERO conservative viewpoints or resources in the homepage feed? Your content is narrow-minded and shows only one perspective on today's topics and headlines. Perhaps people would be more inclined to support the work if it were more balanced and expressed the views of the other 50% of America.

Hi Mozilla team,

After a recent Firefox update, my Home/New Tab page changed dramatically and became hard to use. The issue is not just that the layout looks different — the new page is functionally worse for me because the shortcuts are oversized, they obscure the search bar area, and the trending/recommended stories are difficult to read.

I tried the usual fixes:

   I changed the New Tab/Home settings.

   I tried the about:config change to restore the older layout.

   The page returned to normal once, but only for one instance; after that, it went back to the problematic layout again.

So I think there are two problems:

   The redesigned Home/New Tab layout is too cluttered and interferes with basic use.

   My preference change is not sticking, because the page resets after a restart or later reopening.

What I need help with is:

   Why the Home/New Tab page is reverting after I change it.

   Whether this is caused by a Firefox study/experiment, session restore, a profile issue, or an extension.

   How to make the older compact layout stay permanently.

   My Firefox version is 153.0 (aarch 64).

   The problem happens after every restart of Firefox.

  Troubleshoot Mode changed nothing.

   The browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.nova.enabled setting was reset to false and that has held.

   I'm on macOS

   Using Sync across devices.

In addition I cannot find session restore - I was going to try unchecking it to see if that helps

Firefox on macOS. After most recent update, when I open new tabs I get

Oops, something went wrong loading this content. Refresh and try again

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