Show HN: Disable now useless “What's new” page in Firefox

4 pointsTepix4 comments

Firefox 99 started serving a "What's New" page that is an ad for Pocket instead of listing what's new in the browser.

Another disappointment.

Here's how to disable the now useless "What's new page":

1. Go to about:config

2. Change the value of "browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone" to "ignore".

Bingo! One less page with ads.

Thanks for nothing, Mozilla.

This sort of thing is not what Show HN is for. I'd remove that from the title if you're able to.

Good point. Alas, i can no longer edit it.

You can personalize new tab page (upper right corner wheel button) and uncheck:

- Sponsored shortcuts

- Recommended by Pocket

Thanks. The "new tab" wasn't the problem, i had it configured properly already.
