I am trying to set the home page on my Samsung S21 with android v13 and firefox v117. I cannot find any means for setting the home page. The customize homepage in the top (3 button) menu has no option for setting a different home page.

The homepage option under settings gives you exactly the same options as above.

The customize option under settings applies only to the theme and has no options for managing the home page.

Unfortunately every version of firefox is different and all the instructions I have found apply to different versions of firefox than the one I am using.

Hi

It is currently not possible to set a custom homepage in Firefox for Android but it is something that may be included in a future update.

Given that Firefox has always enabled setting a custom home page on all desktop systems, why on earth would they delete that from Android operating systems?

Hi

That was a design decision made quite a few years ago now that I do not have access to, but it is something that is being looked into in the future.
