Latest update 5/19/2026

I hate the latest update:

1. The home page is a big waste of empty space.

2. The shortcuts are too small with lots of empty space on either side

3. When I turned off showing the weather, it left a big empty space at the top of the default screen, cut off the labels on the second row of shortcuts, and doesn't show the third row of shortcuts.

Hello, I completely agree. This is just a terrible change, I will copy paste what I wrote earlier:

"Updated to 151.0 and now I got this terrible New Tab page.

I have 16:9 1080p resolution in my desktop and I use zoom 170% in the new tab area where I see:

- 35% empty top space

- then a big firefox logo

- then 2 rows of icon shortcuts that now are smaller with their names cut off on two rows

- finally empty spaces in the left and right 

What is happening ? every design UI change you do is in the negative from my perspective. Seriously how is this even possible, I keep coming here after major disappointments with this updates and I complain but clearly no one gives a...

Alright, mark my words this is how you will loose market share with small little upgrades that always go in the wrong way. Keep it up sooner then later people will migrate towards other options. This user here is very unhappy and just resigned."
