@AndyBoss : I've reported this in the past myself -- The Verge are terrible for it. Literally a third to a half of all articles are paywalled.
I've considered many times just turning the news feed on Firefox Home off completely. Not only the issue you mention, but the hitbox of the "..." to bring-up the menu to dismiss an article is made deliberately tiny, in the hope you'll misclick and bring an article up. You cannot block particular sites, only categories. You cannot re-order categories, to move your favourites ones upwards. And if my Internet connection drops, the Weather widget breaks, and it usually doesn't come back until after I've closed and reopened Firefox a few times.
It's almost like they want to irritate people and have us not use it? 🤷🏻♂️
