Almost all the links in my front homepage are sponsored now. What's next, a few ads in the bookmark bar? How about when I enter a URL, I then have to type "McDonald's" before I can actually navigate there?

Also, not being able to set the home button to a custom URL is fucking crazy. I want the home button to take me to my selfhosted dashboard that has all my services and links on it. I don't want the home button to take me to the dumbass firefox page and have to click another link to get to it.

Been using Kiwi instead for this sole reason but now Kiwi is dead. I'm not willing to concede this workflow and make an extra click because Mozilla is braindead and can't implement a functional home button like every single browser since the beginning of time.

I think they mean on mobile as opposed to PC. I can't find any option besides the dashboard-style homepage offered by default. I can customize it, but I can't make it a specific URL.

You can set it to custom and to my knowledge that's always been true.
