No home button is absolutely pathetic. I never stopped using FF on desktop, but until FF mobile gets a home button it's not going to be installed on my phones.
In the meantime Kiwi has been the better browser on mobile by far in my opinion. It has access to more extensions and it was the first browser to do things like the bottom address bar among other things. Oh, and it has a fucking home button like every other browser except for FF mobile for some dumbass reason.
It's still there, it's just off by default since people rarely use it these days.
Go to Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars. Pick the Home button or whatever else you want on the toolbar, and just drag it up there. Some items might be in the overflow menu on the right.
What's the use case for a home button? Why not just set the default url for new tabs?
I guess, it's so you can make your current tab navigate to the home-page rather than closing the tab and opening a new one...
You can't set it to a custom URL... I have a selfhosted dashboard that I want to load by pressing the home button. Having a "home" button that forces you to use their dumb start page isn't really a home button. That isn't how any home buttons on any other browsers work including FF desktop.

You realize that there is difference between FF mobile and FF desktop, right? This has been a known issue for a long time now. I'm not mistaken and I'm not mentioning it because I just glanced over some settings.
Doesn't let you set the homepage to a custom URL in FF mobile...
Damn, you sure are mad for being correct
And you're annoying... it would have taken you 5 seconds to open FF on your phone if you use it to see that you were wrong instead of trying to incorrectly correct me.
