Firefox app on android. Never seen this before until today. But Firefox is now putting ads in the app?

      This should be towards the top. I’ve been on FF4A for years now and they’ve had those links there the whole time. You can toggle them off if yku don’t want them.

          You must have changed an option, by default the page shows up every time you open a new tab. (Though you can disable the ads on it)

            I have wonderful tunnel vision. I opened a new tab and actually looked at the page and they do in fact exist, I have 3 sponsored links, I just never actually look at the page until i hit enter cause there is nothing of interest til then hehe

          Me too, but its surely still a decision that has much worse of an impact on the average non techie user than a random little bookmark thats even easier to remove.

        You can literrally change that with just a few clicks. It takes a few seconds…

        But I guess you don’t like that great software costs money to develop, so you will start using those alternatives that wouldn’t exist, if it were not for Mozilla/Firefox… Make that make sense!
