Hey! Up until the last update, I used this code to set and focus a custom new tab page instead of its address bar (This should be a default feature, but what can you do...)

``` var {classes:Cc,interfaces:Ci,utils:Cu} = Components;

// Set new tab page try {

 ChromeUtils.importESModule("resource:///modules/AboutNewTab.sys.mjs").AboutNewTab.newTabURL = "file:///home/razv/StartPage/index.html"; 

} catch(e){Cu.reportError(e);} // report errors in the Browser Console

// Auto focus new tab content try {

 ChromeUtils.import("resource:///modules/BrowserWindowTracker.jsm").BrowserWindowTracker;
 const Services = globalThis.Services
 Services.obs.addObserver((event) => {
   window = BrowserWindowTracker.getTopWindow();
   window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser.focus();
 }, "browser-open-newtab-start");

} catch(e) { Cu.reportError(e); } ```

After the last update, focusing the new tab page's content is broken. Can anyone help me?

How to set the New Tab page to a local file? (autoconfig no longer works in v136.0)

Since the settings haven't given that option for years, the best way to have a local file as the new tab page was using autoconfig.cfg + autoconfig.js, as described in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1251199 But since the most recent update (v136.0), this stopped working.

The New Tab Override add-on has its own issues with using local files (can only load a .html file, no local CSS/JS, can't give a blank address bar for me to search in), so it doesn't solve the issue either.

This is very important to me, and others have been asking for this feature back for years. It feels awful to have the working solution stop working, in the browser that's supposed to be open and customizable.

I would like my home page to be the ABC news site. However, the default seems to be Brisbane Qld. No matter how many times I change it to my location, which is Melbourne Vic. and then select "use current page" in settings, next time I turn on my PC, it's back to Brisbane. Is there a way to set my home page permanently to show my location (Melbourne Vi.) ? Regards, Manfred

Dear Firefox Team,

I am using Firefox on my computer and have encountered a few issues:

1. When I delete all the website shortcuts, I am unable to add new website shortcuts. There is no option available to add them back.


2. When I use the "Unpin" option, the shortcut gets deleted completely, instead of just being unpinned. Ideally, the shortcut should remain available after unpinning.


I kindly request you to address these issues in an upcoming update so that users can have a smoother browsing experience.

Thank you.

I want to make myMSN ( URL is www.msn.com/?pc=U506&ocid=U506DHp ) my Firefox Home Page. I have tried all the suggested methods but apparently I'm not doing something correctly because none of them have worked. The closest I've come to success is pasting the URL in the Home Page option in Firefox Settings, but I can't get it to stay there. There is no "SAVE" button to click on. My old computer (running Windows 10) had no trouble setting myMSN as my Firefox Home Page but this new computer running Windows 11 is making it extremely hard (impossible so far). I have tried following suggested methods step-by-step but without success. Please help.

After Firefox update on August 14 the top area of browser started jumping continually so I did a restart. After restart had to reinstall Trusteer and McAfee Webadvisor. However my home page changed to Google and I don't want google as my home page. Cant remember what it was before (believe about:home or something similar). When I go to Settings Search and change search to DuckDuck it changed both the address bar and search bar. I am find with Google in Search bar but was my home page to go back to what it was and not Google. I am a senior and not highly computer savvy - please help and list steps so I can not have Google when I open Firefox browser. Thank you
