I have reviewed support pages for setting help on setting HomePage. My issue is that when I open FireFox it defaults to a private page versus the HomePage showing suggested web pages etc. My settings are set to Firefox Default Home page.

Hey all,

I'd love to use the Lists widget on my homepage (or really any widget, for that matter), but I can't see any option to enable it in the Customize page. I've been able to toggle Stories and Shortcuts, and can see and toggle Weather, but any other widget doesn't exist in any place I can find. I've tried manually toggling the individual widget flags in about:config and that hasn't done anything either, as well as trying it on a new account. Is there anything I'm missing here? How could I go about enabling these?

As stated above, after the Firefox upgrade to version 155.0.1 I now only have 1 row of home page shortcuts and before the upgrade had 4 full rows of shortcuts. The setting are still set to 4 rows, but only an auto generated 1 row. I would like to restore my rows without having to add them back one by one.

Can not change default Firefox home page in settings. I am 78 years old & know nothing about computers. Thank You

Hello, my Firefox updated to v. 155 today. The "Smart Window" is interesting, but it hijacked all the New Tabs and New Windows. Therefore, I am unable to access the traditional Firefox Homepage with wallpaper, search box, weather, recent pages, etc. Instead, there is only a "Smart Search" which defaults to speaking to the AI. In order to perform a websearch, I must select from a drop-down. --> THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF PRODUCTIVITY. It slows me down, and produces a nuisance rather than benefit. How may I access the traditional Firefox Homepage please? I need those features. Thank you!

I am trying to turn off stories that show up on Firefox Home Page. I do not like them, it clutters the homepage. But every time I turn the option off in settings, it automatically reverts back on and the stories do not disappear. This is an update that I am not a fan of as a user.

Very many news agencies now require paid subscription to read their articles. I don't want to see those companies lead in for articles in my Firefox home page.

Google news home page (news.google.com/home) has an option and others by clicking the three dots ... to the right of article title lead in. There are multiple choices offered among those options is: HIDE ALL STORIES FROM ------ (it doesn't name the news agency because it is to the right of that SPECIFIC article). Presto no more show up in news.google.com/home.

Now that more and more news vendors require paid subscriptions to read even their first article it is a great feature I have used for years on news.google.com/home. But now I am regularly using Firefox home page and sure miss that feature.

Finally I wish I could afford to pay for so many and truly there are now many require paid subscription to read even the first article. Others let you read one.

Anyway thank you for your consideration. I think it provides a competitive edge if not overwhelmingly complicated to enact.
