I switched to IronFox recently, it's basically Firefox without the shenanigans.

It's weird, too - I think these just got removed from the desktop Firefox new tab? Why would it then be added to Android at about the same time?

I'm not seeing this on my phone. I can't find any widespread reports of it happening either.

I'd used Firefox nearly 20 yrs but have lost faith in them. It's still a mostly-great browser but I do not trust anti-consumer / dark pattern nonsense.

I've moved on to another browser.
