Just know I saw this, because I would never ever visit freaking groupon. “Sponsored shortcuts” can be disabled in the settings . Bleh :(

    That’s always been there though, every time I install Firefox I have to disable that and Pocket. Linux, Windows, Mobile, all of them.

      I just looked thru settings and customize homepage and don’t see any option to turn them off

      Edit: found it, have to go to customize homepage >shortcuts >toggle off sponsored shortcuts

        I dunno about the iOS version, but on the desktop and Android versions both you can also disable them directly from the new tab page itself.

      Use something Firefox based that has it already disabled.

      I use Librewolf on desktop and Mull on mobile.
