Re Firefox browser: anybody else who uses it as default browser notice a change in browser home page?

Just opened it after being offline for a few hours. All the 'tiles' of sites I use most often are gone. Stuff like news sites I check regularly, social media sites I use, and a few retail sites I use. POOF, vanished. Can't get that browser opening page back

Did Firefox do this to comply with Trump Administration wishes/command to slow people down from getting onto trusted sites quickly? Anybody else have this blank page staring at them when they open firefox tabs?

all these years later, jumping sharks is still a thing. who woulda thunk it?

To be a touch serious rather than mocking, whenever my computer automatically updates the current Windows version it defaults to different browser settings that I didn't choose. It takes less than 15 seconds to fix, it a person is even somewhat computer literate. I'd walk the DUmmy through the easy steps, but I'd rather read their continued insane rantings.

I don't experience that specific issue, but my first thought was that it sounded like Attilatheblond's computer had some sort of OS or Browser update. I haven't used Firefox since Mozilla canned their CEO for daring to support CA's Prop 8 (the marriage definition proposition that got overturned because AG Moonbeam refused to defend it in court).

Now we know what Dan Bongino has been up to. :lol:

If you run a cleaner product like CCleaner then they it can wipe out your browser cookies and history.
