Hi

It is currently not possible to set a custom home page in Firefox for Android, but this is something that may be looked at again in a future update.

Hello Seburo,

thanks for the sad answer. The fact per se is incredible bad. Can I install the old version and prevent an automatic update like this?

Thanks again for the help!

Bernd

hi bernd, what you could do in this case is to add a shortcut to the page you want to open on start to your phone's home screen (in the three-dot-menu in firefox while you are browsing this site).

Hello philipp,

thanx, I'll try that. Unfortunately I cannot affect the icon that is shown on the home screen. I'll write about my tests here soon.

I miss my home page and certainly don't like having to pick it in the saved icons. You had a good thing going and I chose Firefox on my mobile rather than Chrome. Now is all messed up. Give us back our home pages!

Yes, I'd like the ability to set my personal start page, Also!

I think I'm done with Firefox. I liked mine setup with my bookmarks list as a homepage, and now even this has been removed. Now I'm prompted to setup some sort of collections. What collections? All I want is a simple bookmark list when I open the browser.

Why do you guys keep trying to re-invent the wheel, and F**k it up every time?

I don't mind even if I have to pay for a browser app, as long as it stays the way I set it, instead of messing things up after every unsolicited update.

I would like to add my voice to group that is stating they do not like the new setup.

I agree. The updaters of Firefox should find out what users like about it before deleting those features. Updates should fix problems and/or add useful features. They are only pissing off those users that praise Firefox. Just a thought. No disrespect towards Mozilla.

I have this issue as well. I don't like having to click on the tabs button to view my last page I was on. I am used to opening Firefox and it being right there rather than the USELESS screen that has icons to sites I very rarely visit. PLEASE, at least give us a choice as to what we see as our startup screen.

I've been test driving Opera. It's a simple, straight-forward, no BS browser that seems to do everything that I want.

A must have. I have a hard time to understand why this feature needs a debate. Do Firefox devs use Firefox ???

Édit. Thanks for the reminder byacey. Now using Opera. As you say, straight forward. Only good surprises. Adopted :)
