How can I keep just the large fox on my homepage? The flashing message about the buttons is a little too much!!

I was at least able to clear the new flashing message about simplifying buttons by clicking back to home or refreshing the page to get the stationary fox wrapped around the world back, now it will not do it. I have a medical condition that sometimes is aggravated when there is a flashing screen. Please help... Thank-you & have a nice day!  :)

If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page.

Delete the storage\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default set.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to the default value to re-enable the snippets.
