I wish to display Top Sites and Highlights on my Firefox Home screen. I have followed the instructions and under: Options / Home / Firefox Home Content I have selected the appropriate items and rows. However, the Top Sites and Highlights only appear very seldom, and certainly not every time I select Firefox or the Home screen.

Is there a remedy to ensure that I get Top Sites and Highlights displayed every time I select Firefox or the Home Screen?

TIA

Hi BGC111946, it looks like your home page got changed to a custom URL, specifically, Google. Could you check that: How to set the home page.

Hi BGC111946, what does the page look like when it's incorrect? Are there blank squares for top sites or do you get some completely different page?

Hi jscher2000, Thank you for your reply. I attach a screenshot of my Firefox Home page. Basically, it is the normal Home page without showing any of my Top Sites or Highlights.
