Package: firefox-esr
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Version: 78.13.0esr-1~deb11u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Install firefox-esr, remove any old profiles, start the program,
and click in the URL bar. Advertisements for several non-free
online platforms are displayed.
These cannot (apparently) be removed by accessing settings, at
least easily (see below).
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Pressing the arrow keys to select any of the advertised sites,
and pressing delete and/or shift-delete do nothing.
Disabling Amazon in the search engines also failed to remove its
advertisement (though it did indeed remove it as an enabled search
engine).
* What was the outcome of this action?
Debian is advertising non-free and non-freedom respecting services.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
No such advertisements. At a minimum, the ability to remove/preset
these sites, in particular in an automated fashion when deploying to
many machines.
If desired, I can provide the patch to remove these advertisements,
or, if we can agree on such a list, a replacement set of websites to
show.

Use tab, it will get you to the "..." button, press space or enter, and
select "Dismiss".
Or with a mouse, the "..." shows up when you hover, and you can click on
it to select "Dismiss".
