• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla’s focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google’s ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

    It’s still there, it’s just off by default since people rarely use it these days.

    Go to Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars. Pick the Home button or whatever else you want on the toolbar, and just drag it up there. Some items might be in the overflow menu on the right.

      What’s the use case for a home button? Why not just set the default url for new tabs?

        I guess, it’s so you can make your current tab navigate to the home-page rather than closing the tab and opening a new one…

        I can’t comprehend how someone can be able to self host something but not able to find literally the first configurable option on the “home” settings page.

            This is one of the reasons I still use Chromium primarily. Firefox fanatics are just too much like cult members. You can point out real issues to them, like that Firefox was slow to implement hardware-accelerated video decoding on Linux, or that Firefox also enables a bunch of telemetry by default… but half of their identity is based on using Firefox, so they take it personally. I’d love to have a technical discussion with some of these Firefox cultists, but to be honest most of them will just resort to ad-hominem attacks because that is the only argument they have.
