Static, unchanging links in homepage

[AG2]

Hi, I have become increasingly annoyed that FF no longer allows me to set (without writing HTML code) a homepage on which I can have 10-15 selected links/icons that do not change or are have their position in the list moved (or worse, subsitituted by some totally spurious algorithim generated URL).  I want my home page to simply reflect a set of links I chose, in the order I chose -- not the ones I have used most recently, or ones FF choses for me! Maybe there is an easy way to do this I have not seen? I believe Vivaldi allows this option?

Hey @AG2 (and others who land here),

Wanted to give you a quick heads up that a Firefox Product Manager just kicked off a discussion here on Mozilla Connect about improving the Firefox homepage: Share Your Thoughts on the Home / "New Tab" Page! 🖥️ [thread 2] 

There's also one for the Firefox Mobile homepage: Firefox Mobile Users: Share Your Thoughts on the Mobile Homepage! 📱 

Feel free to share your feedback and ideas there. It's a great opportunity to communicate directly with the team working on these features.

Hope to see ya there 🙌

This idea should greatly help, if it would be implemented. It has currently 100+ upvotes.

I just followed the trail of requests from 2022 up to the beginning of this year, January 2025, regarding getting Mozilla to add the feature that EVERY OTHER BROWSER in the Universe has when pinning Main Page Shortcuts.

It appears that even though there were messages from Mozilla stating they were "looking into this" and were looking for "more feedback" on the matter.

How much feedback does a company need when EVERY PERSON sending the request has been asking for the feature over the past THREE YEARS, and Mozilla has done nothing.

There are two main problems with the Firefox Main Page Shortcuts:

1) Shortcuts are created automatically whether you want them or not. You have no choice except to look through the Shortcuts every day, all day, and then TRY to Dismiss them.

2) This leads to the second problem, Dismissing Shortcuts that you do not want. There are automatically created Shortcuts that I CANNOT Dismiss, no matter how many times "Dismiss" is selected from the icon itself.

Why is Mozilla trying to compete with Microsoft for the worst User treatment by a technology company?
