I've previously asked this question but it has been archived without any action.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

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

Не получается закрепить свой ярлык на новой вкладке из-за недавних просмотренных сайтов.Я убираю их, а их как будто бесконечное количество.Возможно ли сделать так же, как и на Chrome, убрать недавние просмотры и оставить те, которые закрепил? Я новичок в этом браузере и исследовал до этого форум, но нечего схожего не нашёл, так что не сердитесь на меня.

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.

Your new web site with Thought-provoking stories is very sad. I have use firefox for resurch for a long time & now it is bad. I old main site showed the web site that i used. Now it has only 7 sits that I used. So how do i get rede of Thought-provoking stories?????

I am trying to download videos from a site that I newly subscribed to. The videos do stream perfectly. The files do not download as video files and will not open at all. When I click on the download link, there is no recognition of a download happening and when I check my files later I have an "internet" file showing with a title but without a video file extension and nothing will open. The file extension is ".html". I am following the step by step instructions from the site involved. Other sites videos are downloading as expected.

Does firefox need to be my default browser? Any suggestions how to remedy this without losing what is working? Are there plug-ins that can address this issue?

Thanks.

Can I Manual Remove/Disable those pin Marker on Homepage ? I know it is usable to know what page we have pinned, But i want some change to prefer good looks for this. Just personal eyelooks. Thank You

Would it be possible in your next release/update to allow us to put our collections into alphabetical order for ease of finding if you have a lot. Thanks in advance. Chris

For some reason after an update I lost the ability to access my collections. I can add new pages to my collection but have no way to access them. The option to add it to my homepage is now gone.

Previously, in the shortcut screen, you could swipe left right to display the other eight shortcuts. This no longer works. I have to tap showall to display all the shortcuts. Additionally the showall setting should be remembered, you shouldn't have to do two taps to get to the second list.

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?

I thought I was deleting one shortcut and when I toggled the button on the shortcuts page, they all disappeared. How do I get the short cuts back? And, how donI remove shortcuts I do not want?

While customizing my homepage, I chose to have "stories" section to always show up. Is there a way to personalize those stories to my interests? I have no interest in the ones showing up, especially being mostly politics and world news.

Dear Firefox Support,

I am a long-time Firefox user and greatly appreciate the privacy-focused and user-friendly experience your browser offers. However, I would like to request an enhancement to the Android version of Firefox.

Currently, the Firefox Start Page on Android only displays two rows of shortcut icons under "Top Sites" (Pinned Shortcuts). This limitation restricts quick access to frequently used websites, especially for users who rely on visual organization.

I would kindly request the option to customize the number of visible shortcut rows — for example, allowing up to 5 or more rows — directly from the app’s settings. This would greatly improve usability and personalization without affecting the minimalist design of the Start Page.

Thank you for your work and consideration. I hope this suggestion can be taken into account for a future update.

Best regards, Florin

I have not changed my settings -- still want 1 row of shortcuts. They were just fine this morning but now the whole row is gone -- it's blank. I don't know how to get them back and can't seem to create new ones. Looked all through the Firefox settings but no good. What happened? Please advise.

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.
