Description of problem: When clicking in the url-bar, commercial sides are advertised, see attached image. Amongst these are sites which are part of surveillance capitalism, eg. facebook, youtube/google ebay. I found no option in the setting to configure these. The only way I found is to set "browser.urlbar.suggest.topsites = false" in about:config. Anway this has two draqbacks: 1: Only advanced users are able to configure this 2. This also disables "mageia.org" showing up there. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 78.3.0 How reproducible: 1. Open a new tab in firefox 2. Click into the url-bar

Hi, thanks for reporting this bug. We at Mageia do not do politic. This seems a Firefox default behavior also available on other platform. If there is a way to fix this, it can be done. I even don't see an upstream documentation on this. Assigned to the recent commiter to look at this. Packager: Please set the status to 'assigned' if you are working on it.
