I want to control what is on new tabs. All suggestions so far do not work.</P> Sun, 09 Mar 2025 05:11:15 GMT https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-stop-firefox-automatically-adding-shortcuts-to-my-new/m-p/89447#M34602 strifemit 2025-03-09T05:11:15Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-stop-firefox-automatically-adding-shortcuts-to-my-new/m-p/94503#M36866 <P>Go to Firefox settings, on the left hand panel click on home, then scroll down until you come to Firefox Home Content. You should see shortcuts and under that Sponsored Links. Untick the blue box next to that and you should be all set.</P> Sat, 26 Apr 2025 13:51:39 GMT https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-stop-firefox-automatically-adding-shortcuts-to-my-new/m-p/94503#M36866 HughH 2025-04-26T13:51:39Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-stop-firefox-automatically-adding-shortcuts-to-my-new/m-p/94556#M36891 <P>Another way of doing it is to set all the four lines to show on your home page. Pin every box of the four lines, then set the first lines with the sites you want. Then reset how many lines you want shown according to the sites you want shortcuts to. It worked for me.</P> Sun, 27 Apr 2025 11:02:21 GMT https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-stop-firefox-automatically-adding-shortcuts-to-my-new/m-p/94556#M36891 HughH 2025-04-27T11:02:21Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-stop-firefox-automatically-adding-shortcuts-to-my-new/m-p/96971#M37824 <P>It does NOT work and yes I unticked the "Sponsored Links" box and virtually every freakin site I visit ends up adding yet another unwanted shortcut I then have to tediously delete. Like a fool I support Mozilla financially both for Firefox and Thunderbird and yet they have not addressed this awful invasive/intrusive fault in their browser.</P><P><STRONG>What I want is the choice to put only those shortcuts that I choose on my home page</STRONG> and <STRONG>not to have any automatically added</STRONG> - Period!!!!!!!!!</P><P>So, Mozilla are you listening, make it happen or I go back to Brave.</P> Sun, 25 May 2025 20:20:35 GMT https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-stop-firefox-automatically-adding-shortcuts-to-my-new/m-p/96971#M37824 ArtinTP 2025-05-25T20:20:35Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-stop-firefox-automatically-adding-shortcuts-to-my-new/m-p/116977#M45652 <P>that does not work if you have sooo much search history that you cant even see the add button(yes evn if you enable 4 rows)</P> Thu, 29 Jan 2026 15:49:41 GMT https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-stop-firefox-automatically-adding-shortcuts-to-my-new/m-p/116977#M45652 frostcalibr 2026-01-29T15:49:41Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-stop-firefox-automatically-adding-shortcuts-to-my-new/m-p/117694#M45976 <P>Been searching for this fix, too.
