It's not on my waterfox mobile :)

Nor on Firefox for Android. But I've removed the "sponsored stuff" on my new tabs page. This is more user error than intrusion IMO.

[–] Decq@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I had sponsored stuff disabled too, and it still shows up. So it's not 'user-error'. Now don't get me wrong. I'm excited for the world cup so I don't mind the countdown. But only excited to see how big of a cluster fuck it's going to be.

They added a new setting for "world cup" specifically. Its not user error since its enabled by default and silently.

This is what my homepage settings look like on android. The world cup ad is entirely separate from sponsored stuff, and is enabled by default

[–] dracc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Huh. I don't have that World Cup option. Is it a regional thing? I'm running Firefox 151.0.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Maybe. I'm in the US

[–] XLE@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

I got it on a fresh Firefox install.

Neither on Librefoz desktop

Nor on my IronFox 😇

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't even see it on FF mobile which I've not even messed with settings extensively.

Firefox or fennec?
