I-Firefox Community Forum

Hi, a while ago I have set my browser homepage to have links to recently visited sites and pages and I had set a background too, but a few days ago it suddenly seemed to forget about all my search history and settings for some reason, as you can see in the screenshot below. This behavior does not happen with any other part/functionality of the browser. I don't really know what could be going on, so I'm reaching out here.

Hello After the latest update of Firefox browser, the "Add Shortcut" option is no longer displayed and is only displayed for the first time when you open the browser. However, when you open a site and want to return to the home and shortcuts section through the "Home" option, the "Add Shortcut" option is no longer displayed and I have not been able to add shortcuts to my home page for a while now.

Overnight my Firefox Home page no longer show the three rows of shortcuts I have had for years. The setting still is correct in Settings but no icons are shown - I have tried to recreate them but still no shortcut icoins! How can I recreate or recover them? Win11, fully up to date.

ホームページにヤフージャパン以外にいくつかのページを設定しています。 ヤフーを見ているときにホームボタンでトップページにもどると他のタグのページも全てまた新しく立ち上がってどんどんタグが増えてしまいます。 見ているページだけ初期化する設定に出来ませんか。 Microsoft　edgeは出来たのですが、出来ればfirefoxに乗り換えたいです。

Recently when starting the browser I've seen that Microsoft Defender blocks requests to one of my homepage shortcuts, due to it finding the URL suspicious. My question is as the title suggests: does Firefox ping the URLs or fetch metadata of said domains automatically/in the background to update the icons, website title, etc? It is always suspicious to find Microsoft Defender stating it blocks request to websites I haven't accessed in a while. So I'm trying to deduce if it is a feature and not a ghost in the wires...

Subject: Feature Request: Home Screen Widget for Favorite Sites ​Dear Firefox Team, ​I am a regular user of your browser and would love to see a Home Screen Widget for Favorite Sites/Bookmarks. ​Having a dedicated widget to access my top sites directly from the home screen would make the browsing experience much faster and more convenient. ​Thank you for your great work! ​Best regards, [Your Name] Burhan Ali

My Firefox shortcuts keep disappearing: this is an almost daily occurrence. Sometimes they re-appear later without any intervention, sometimes they re-appear after a reboot. Right now, after rebooting and 'fixing' Firefox from Control Panel, they are still missing. I have 4 rows configured for both shortcuts and recent sites, and had 'pinned' about 20 shortcuts. Currently on Windows 10, soon to upgrade to Windows 11.

Can someone PLEASE tell me if there is a fix available for this (will it be resolved in Win 11?), or if there is a way to easily save and restore these backups when this problem occurs.

The ability to have 32 shortcuts is the motivating reason for my using Firefox over Chrome or Edge (which only allow 8), but if they keep disappearing like this I'm going to have to re-think my browser selection.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I manually added shortcuts to my home screen, but everytime I open the browser, the system automatically has added shortcuts I don't want. Also, when I delete these unwanted shortcuts, another unwanted one appears.

how can I stop this from happening?

I just experienced a hijack when I clicked on a help link in a trusted site [HP.com] while researching my printer information. It hijacked my system until I was able to clear it with an app. Now when I start firefox a search page is started with searchingswift.com in the address bar. I need to know how to delete this command. I can close it down and start a new window with the proper address bar, but I want the hijacker gone. Thank you

I want shortcuts, but not the ones I visit, just the ones I save. Is there a way to make it just the ones I save, or I have to have both. If I must have both, please make it so that its separate.
