Firefox 139 hides homescreen option to disable ads (lemm.ee)

After I noticed Firefox has removed the Pocket branding but kept the Pocket stories, I also noticed the settings screen on the homepage no longer lets you disable sponsored stories or links.

Firefox 115:

Firefox 139:

You can still remove these advertisements, but you have to leave the homepage and dig through the settings to find that option.

Librewolf and Waterfox are good.

Librewolf is the best IMO. If u want persistent logins u gotta go change the sheetings not to wipe everything tho.

Note that for me Librewolf breaks several sites, sadly

I've found u they aren't broken if u spoof a chromium user agent
