Just know I saw this, because I would never ever visit freaking groupon. “Sponsored shortcuts” can be disabled in the settings . Bleh :(
I mean, I’m not a big fan of it either. On the other hand, I want Firefox to continue to grow and be actively developed and supported. If not from sources like these - to me unobtrusive - ads, where else can their revenue come from?
Not trying to be controversial. Just asking. What business opportunities would we support Mozilla in that we’d be happy with?

That’s always been there though, every time I install Firefox I have to disable that and Pocket. Linux, Windows, Mobile, all of them.

I just looked thru settings and customize homepage and don’t see any option to turn them off

I dunno about the iOS version, but on the desktop and Android versions both you can also disable them directly from the new tab page itself.

Use something Firefox based that has it already disabled.
I use Librewolf on desktop and Mull on mobile.
