nothing new here. esr from trixie; release and devedition from packages.mozilla.org. just updated and ran all three to see. sponsored and recommended crud was off (it is literally the first things that get changed on new installs) and are still off.
Over the past week or so this has been so infuriating. Firefox is now randomly turning back on sponsored/featured stories in the homepage. So anti-user.
First I'm hearing about it. None of those settings changed on my end.
Lucky you. Reading the comments here will show it isn't just me.
Maybe it's because I set a lot of those values with user.js?
