Just updated it on Android... and I wish I hadn't.
The very first thing I was greeted with on the "top sites" page was a bunch of "Recommended by Pocket" links, and no way to disable that.
I can't find anything in about:config to disable this either. How about NO, goddammit?
Shame on you, Mozilla.
- amadeusw 9y agoI also got the firefox for android after seeing the sync feature. However the tabs don't sync by default and I haven't seen any guide on how to use this feature. I'd appreciate any pointer in the right direction.
- Sylos 9y agoOn the desktop (in Firefox 57), you can find your tabs under Library->Synced Tabs. On the Android version, they appear on the homepage->History->Synced Devices. Mind that they don't sync immediately. There's an interval for syncing. You can lower this interval in about:config by editing one of services.sync.scheduler.*, also possibly services.sync.syncInterval, but I don't know for sure what each individual one does. Also, you can tell it to do a sync right away, on the desktop version with Alt+t, then s; on the Android version by going into the settings, then tapping on "Firefox Account" at the top and then "Synchronize now".
- Rusky 9y agoThose can be disabled from the new tab page itself.
- flyinghamster 9y agoAh, better. It was not at all obvious how to get rid of it. Hamburger -> General -> Home -> Top Sites Then it can be toggled off. Whew! EDIT: It's still not nice to have this sort of thing come up by surprise.
- CaptSpify 9y agoThat pissed me off too. When did Mozilla become an advertiser?
