Firefox Shortcuts Creation and Dismissig Them

I have been writing for the past couple of days to ask about the status of Firefox Shortcuts and have not received any responses from the Community or from Mozilla themselves.

I just read through 3 years of comments and questions regarding the problems with Firefox Shortcuts on the Main Page when opening Firefox itself. NOTHING has been done in 3 years regarding these problems, even though 99% of Mozilla / Firefox users want the features that EVERY OTHER MAJOR BROWSER already has.

Firefox automatically creates Shortcuts that I did not ask for, and that I do not need. Especially when the Shortcut is a duplicate of ones I already have.

The worst part is, now that there are duplicate icons as Shortcuts, they cannot be Dismissed. No matter how many times I select "Dismiss" from the 3 dot menu, the icons DO NOT go away. So, I have permanent Shortcut icons that I do not need staring me in the face EVERY TIME I'm using my computer.

Thanks, Mozilla, way to show how much you appreciate your users. Especially with last years campaign to get users thinking Mozilla actually cares that they are going after unscrupulous companies stealing our data to use with AI development.

You are all the same, take, take, take, and then lie about what you actually are doing.
