WTF? Do you see this as well?
I’m not seeing it on my Firefox Mobile, nor do I see any additional setting under the ‘homepage’ section.
Look, this sucks, FIFA is a shitty organization, but it’s possible that the devs are just soccer fanatics. You think Mexicans are boycotting FIFA for instance? They probably mistakenly believed this was apolitical
as an argentinian i found this cool 😎
wtf me too. where do i complain?
I remember some early version of Firefox all the way back in 2002 or 2006 had some world cup promotion kinda thing. But I guess it wasn’t a payed promotion or anything like that and the event was perceived to be a lot less corporate then nowadays.
You’re welcome
Best app ever bruh
Thanks, I have beenlooking for this and waterwolf
can we stop shoving sports into everyone’s faces? I live in brazil and is so fucking annoying to hear about yet a fucking another sports news
I hate this expectation people impose onto me and everyone that they should care and magically be enthusiastic about it
Dude come on soccer is like the only sport that’s not high-falutin bullshit for most of the globe maybe we could reach out to the devs and explain how this feels to everyone during an ongoing genocide ;_;
🤮
Yep, came with the AI update yesterday for me on Fennec. Wish they would leave Fennec as the no-bullshit version as it should be.
I saw this ad too.
As far as I know, I have all that crap disabled, and yet Mozilla shoved this ad up my ass.
Did I miss anything? What do I need to disable?
Settings -> Homepage -> Turn off “World Cup”
Thanks. There was indeed a new setting there and it was enabled by default.
I’m fucking angry.
I wonder how much the FIFA paid Mozilla for this.
Can’t reproduce on my end. I’m currently on a WiFi with a pihole, though (and uBlock Origin on FF mobile, but that might not work on those pages)
Yeah same here wtf
Who do I submit a complaint to?
Edit: hey, also make sure it isn’t set to delete everything it’s ever downloaded when you clear your history. This setting is enabled by default now! Wtf is happening at Mozilla?

I think that part is just a misunderstanding, the setting simply defines what to do when you delete a download from the downloads page. Clearing your history does not affect you downloads
The laast update re-enabled shortcuts on Ironfox
It’s not on my waterfox mobile :)
Nor on Firefox for Android. But I’ve removed the “sponsored stuff” on my new tabs page. This is more user error than intrusion IMO.
They added a new setting for “world cup” specifically. Its not user error since its enabled by default and silently.
I had sponsored stuff disabled too, and it still shows up. So it’s not ‘user-error’. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m excited for the world cup so I don’t mind the countdown. But only excited to see how big of a cluster fuck it’s going to be.
Neither on Librefoz desktop
Chillest devs in existence
Nor on my IronFox 😇
I don’t even see it on FF mobile which I’ve not even messed with settings extensively.
