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 mean, I’m not a big fan of it either. On the other hand, I want Firefox to continue to grow and be actively developed and supported. If not from sources like these - to me unobtrusive - ads, where else can their revenue come from?

    Not trying to be controversial. Just asking. What business opportunities would we support Mozilla in that we’d be happy with?
