I just updated to Firefox 148. Very happy to see the “AI kill switch” in the settings. One thing that bothers me, though, is the new “Do you want to see the weather for your location?”. And even more bothering are the answer alternatives:

  • “Not now”
  • “Yes”

well how about adding a “No, never”?

Does anyone know which settings to modify to eliminate this weather stuff altogether? Cheers!

Edit: Searching for “weath” in about:config brings up a set of options, many of which can be set to false. But I’m happy if anyone here has extra tips or advice.

Edit 2: According to some replies, this is something that’s been there before v148. Useful tip from a reply: see the “edit” button on the bottom right of Firefox’s about:home page.

      First time I’ve seen this too, but apparently it’s been there from previous versions. See dual_sport_dork’s reply.
