Firefox app on android. Never seen this before until today. But Firefox is now putting ads in the app?

My question is: can it be turned off?

Mozilla has been trying to get me to look at news or use Pocket for years now, but it’s easy to turn off.

Edit to add: my above reference to turn off two different settings I’ve turned off for years now seemed obvious to me that I assumed it could be turned off.

Lot of people didn’t read past the first sentence.

Oooh this is lemmy.ml. Fuck gross bye

    Yes. I'm pretty sure you can disable sponsored suggestions in the options, or you can also just delete the individual sponsored options. I've not seen one of these in the last 4 years.

    Mozilla Firefox have never forced you to do anything in regards of ads. They fight for your right, for your freedom. Do you know there's a help file in the browser? It's a lot easier to use, than to write in here about mundane problems.

    It was more of a rhetorical because of the second sentence, but it’s clear you didn’t read that far.

    Is lemmy.ml chock full of dumbshits?
