Defalut tab shortcut feedback !

Bitpider — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 19:18:33 GMT

Hello, good day!

Today, my Firefox received an update, and after that, I noticed that the shortcuts on the Firefox homepage have become very small and annoying! Although my monitor is quite large, the shortcuts still feel too small and are really frustrating to select. It's completely nerve-wracking! Please return the size of these shortcuts to their previous state, or at least provide settings that allow users to choose whether the icons should be small or large. Thank you so much!

Hello

1 - Go to Configuration Editor for Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox
2 - Enter a search term browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant

Hi, new to this feedback forum. I'm appalled at how difficult it is to use.

All I wanted to do was to go into settings and revert back to the previous larger size of icons on the rows in the home page. There is no way to do this... why are you behaving like Microsoft and forcing changes down our throats?

Please at least make it easy to give feedback on changes so that you can gauge how many people hate the change and then you can consider if, in retrospect, it was a good idea.

Yours hopefully,

Andy

Thank you all for your feedback! I work on Firefox and wanted to let you know that updates to our shortcuts design are already underway. Within the next few releases you will see improvements to the icon size, as well as the spacing between icons.

We appreciate your feedback so that we can continue improving the Firefox experience!
