Hi,

I am aware I can change my homepage and will do so. But I just wanted to share how terrible the firefox homepage is. I am just shown an array of negative stories as soon as I open mozilla firefox.

Hi Joshua, those are stories popular with Pocket users. I guess they like negative stories right now? I don't see a way to switch from that list to a different one.

A while back, there were some experiments with a privacy-respecting way to customize the list of stories based on your locally stored browsing history. This involved a list of sites for each story, and the more of those sites you visit, the more personally relevant the story was considered. I don't know whether that is ongoing, or would even help.

I understand, just wanted to provide some feedback. I think if those are the stories pocket is pushing, Mozilla should find another partner to provide a better user experience. Thanks for looking at my ticket.
