I don't understand that one, my new tab page is blank on FF, it's nothing more than a setting.
Under Options > Home, select "Blank Page" for "New tabs" and for "Homepage and new windows"
That should do it. You can also optionally uncheck content in the "Firefox Home Content" section.
- esperent 6y agoThis should be the default setting, however. Unless I opt-in to see the recommended sites, I don't want to see them. On the other hand, Chrome on mobile does this too and there's no setting at all to turn it off.
- adventured 6y agoI agree. They also have bad defaults (on a fresh install) under the "Firefox Data Collection and Use" section. All of that should be unchecked by default, users should have to opt-in - perhaps with a confirmation - to all data collection.
- AsyncAwait 6y agoThey do however at least tell you to go configure telemetry on a fresh install.
- AsyncAwait 6y agoAgree it should be the default, but it's worth noting that Firefox does it all on device & doesn't send your data off to generate the recommendations.
