Hi, I am getting error "Oops, something went wrong loading this content".

I downloaded firefox 148.0 x64 (from your webpage) on my new windows 11 PC. After setting up for a barebone firefox. I set "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.search.useHandoffComponent" to FALSE to have searches NOT USE address line and that is when I get "Oops..." error. My setup always worked on my Win10 system, can you help?

Hello

I want to add shortcuts that appear when I open a new tab. The instructions say to go to the site you want to add, then click on the 3 dots and choose add your shortcut. I don't see the three dots to click on, just the 3 lines. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. I have done a cleaning with CCleaner, so not sure if it affected firefox, but now the new tab page doesn't have my shortcuts any longer nor any buttons to add them. I had 4 rows of my most used ones. Now I only have the "recent activity" 2 rows....but they don't seem to fill in either...not sure what went wrong. in my settings the shortcut button is ticked. Is there a way I could revert to firefox that I had a couple of hours ago, to see my shortcuts back? I am not technical, so don't know what to do. thanks.

Is there a way to remove specific stories from appearing? I'm Canadian and do not wish to see what the US President has done in these stories. Google News has a hide feature for specific keywords. Does Mozilla?

It is extremely annoying that the shortcut tabs forces me to have shortcuts based on my search history

For example, the fact that I visited a website about how to make pasta does not mean that I want that on my home tab every day, I am not wanting to make pasta every single day and if I were to want to make pasta every single day I would most likely not need the recipe

But everyday I do want to access YouTube, so I do want my shortcuts enable. I won’t add it to my bookmarks since they are for more important purposes (also uncomfortable to reach in comparison to shortcuts which are right in the middle of the screen)

That is to say, it is extremely annoying that with the shortcuts enabled I am forced to either filled up all the possible shortcuts or getting shoved some unecessary shortcut recommendations down my throat

There clearly should be an option to do have shortcuts in the home tab but without recommendations based on your search history

When I opened a new Firefox page it contained links to more or less interesting articles in newspapers. For some reason I had to reset Firefox, now everything works fine again. But the links to articles are gone and I have no idea how to get them back. Any hints?

Had to recently reset my browser and lost all my history. Apparently it messed up my custom settings in some way as well.

New Tab still shows my FF homepage with shortcuts and history gone - I've managed to get those back but with one huge problem:

- Clicking on a shortcut opens it in the same tab, whereas earlier I had it working when clicking on a shortcut would open it IN A NEW TAB.

Where's the setting in about:config to fix this???

If this feature has been removed - why???

Dear Firefox Team,

It has re-occurred to my Firefox Browser of the latest version of 115.30 with some websites which I have recently visited however which have appeared 8 grids of blank or white pages again under "Recent Activity" as attached with the image for your technical troubleshooting suggestion.

Those 8 grids of Recent Activity in the older version of Firefox browsers used to have shown colorful graphics or images representative of the recent websites I visited in the recent past.

May I know what I am supposed to do to recover those graphics or images?

Kindly offer any suggestion or solution?

Thank you for your kind attention.

I don't know what to say. One day I had one row of frequently visited icons below the search bar in the middle of the page and the next day, they were gone. Any help, greatly appreciated.

So, my issue started off with just new tabs loading slow/not properly loading at all. So I attempted a Firefox refresh as I've seen some people suggest only to see that there was no Firefox refresh button in my settings. So I went through the process of uninstalling it, but was paused when it prompted me to perform a Firefox refresh, but it did nothing. So I went and actually uninstalled it and reinstalled it and nothing changed except for the fact that now my New Tab page was completely blank and I couldn't search anything at all. I restarted my laptop to see if it'd help (it didn't) But when I went to try and uninstall it again, it wasn't listed in with my apps so I just deleted it. I installed it again, still nothing. Did the previous step of deleting it and reinstalling it again and still nothing. As a last ditch effort, I tried to install a slightly different version of Firefox and although I had to go through the whole process of installing it this time, the result is still the same with my New Tab being completely blank and I'm unable to search anything or even open the settings Honestly about ready to change browsers even though I've only been using it for about four days

While I like to have shortcuts for sites that I visit frequently (Amazon, eBay, bank, etc.), I don't like the fact that a recently visited site shows up among the four rows of my shortcuts every time I log in and go to my shortcuts. (My computer defaults to these shortcuts when I open up Firefox). Something new that wasn't previously there. I'm like, "okay, that's not something that I put there myself". Something that I didn't SAVE as a shortcut myself. It wasn't like this on my old computer. I had just the frequent sites that I WANTED to show on my shortcuts, not a new icon for a site I've visited recently. I unchecked the "Shortcuts" box in settings and sure enough, ALL my shortcuts disappeared. Had to recheck the box.

Am I missing something here? Why can't I have only the shortcuts that I want on those four rows and not have an icon for a recently visited site just add itself to my shortcuts? Just because I visit any particular site (whether one of my shortcuts or not) doesn't necessarily mean that once I leave that site, that I want it to show up in my shortcuts with a slightly different looking icon from my regular shortcuts, basically duplicating what I already have, but needlessly adding something that I didn't ask to save? For example, if I open up Yahoo to check mail, despite already having a shortcut with the Yahoo icon, the next time that I turn on my computer, I'll have a slightly different Yahoo icon that might now show "log in", as well. Ditto with other shortcut icons.

I hope all this makes sense. Can anyone explain to me how to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Could you advise how to re-install or install by most visited websites on a new tab? I've tried the online advice available on various sites but none of it works. Also not showing Recent activity

Is there anyway in the setting to stop a shortcut from being added every time I visit a site? I only want sortcuts that I use. I have attached a screenshot circling the ones that keep popping up as an example.

Respectfully, Rhonda

How do I go about adding a section on the home page like "Genealogy" with various articles and events on it. Or even say, "Hobbies" where I can find latest articles or apps on various hobbies I enjoy?

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.

3 of the sponsors I've encountered (amazon, Google, temu) (I'll be honest, I don't pay attention often so there's probably others) are incredibly well-known for having terrible practices. Amazon exploits its workers, pollutes a bunch, and even works with israel. google sells user data, and also pollutes a bunch and works with israel, and temu potentially uses slave labour, as well as polluting a bunch.

I understand Mozilla needs money to operate but I'm sure there are tonnes of ethical businesses it could promote
