I-Firefox Community Forum

Customization:

I want to change the Microsoft desktop icons on shortcuts to a number of internet URLs. Unlike with other shortcuts, this is not possible with Firefox. Too many of the same icon are confusing. Seems to me it would be a simple and useful option.

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

Hi Firefox Team,

I know how hard you guys work and I've used you almost exclusively since the beginning in 2003 and talked a lot of folks into switching to you over the years.

I'm so frustrated about your decisions to change the options for what we users want on our home page and new tabs. Seems I can only use a blank page or your default home page. And if I want my normal home page I need to click on the home icon. In the course of a day, that's a LOT of extra clicking or the alternative, typing my search query into a tiny URL bar.

Are you planning to change this? Or is this Mozilla control by default the new norm? I'm so sad to admit to be exploring Mullvad and Brave now. Never would have even considered it, even though I'm consciously weaning off other US digital products.

Thanks for any suggestions and for all you do. (Yes my IOS is up to date)

Where is the Cogwheel on the Start page of Firefox? I want to close "Stories". My Start Page does not show it in the Top right of the page as indicated by a Help page. thanks.

Hi! I'm experiencing a strange issue with Firefox.

Every time I start Firefox, the site addons.mozilla.org opens automatically — and it opens in fullscreen mode (as if I pressed F11). Here's what I've tried so far:

I disabled all extensions, but the problem still persists.

I changed the homepage settings to a blank page and even other websites, but it doesn't help — addons.mozilla.org still opens.

The issue happens even after restarting the computer.

I haven't reinstalled Firefox yet — I’d like to understand what might be causing this first.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi, y'all, I used to use the weather on new tab feature a lot until the latest update seems to have taken that feature away? Is this intentional or am I missing something? Here is an example of what it looks like: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-items-on-firefox-new-tab-page#w_weather

Some troubleshooting I've tried so far:

• I clicked the gear icon to go to settings, but there is no settings for weather anymore.
• I turned off my VPN, because I heard it was available to U.S. and Canada users only, I am in the U.S.
• I closed firefox and reloaded.

Any tips/help is appreciated.

do not want a website as my home page - prefer Firefox default as I had before restart, however when I go to Settings, Home page is set to Firefox default but it does not work -- how else can I have my home page back to default. If you send my link I can probably drag it there hopefully. Thank you

When in Firefox, I have a list of ICONS I can choose from. I also have News, etc., under my ICONS that I can look at before I go on to the ICON I want to check out. In one of those News items, I checked "Bookmark" so I could get back to it later. In so doing, it took me to my Bookmark page, but wouldn't let me get back to my Firefox page I have my icons on. Help Please!
