Cannot open to search engine homepage in new Firefox Android app

Hello. In previous version you could set a search engine homepage, say Google.com, as your homepage when you opened Firefox android app. But this new version defaults to some intermediate Firefox page - no matter what you specify as homepage. I really don't like being forced onto some page firefox wants instead of what I need! How can I get Firefox to open DIRECTLY to the homepage I specify like it used? Just some feedback - this kind bloat you'd expect from other browsers, not an organization like Firefox. Thanks.

Pretty clear from lack of responses - taking away user's choice of homepage is permanent on Firefox Android. Time to switch browser I guess.

Hi

That is currently not possible in Firefox for Android, but may be included in a future update.
