Open a new tab and you’ll see advertisements in your homepage (which afaict you cannot change to a non default page)

Open a 1080p YouTube video and watch your processor get slammed. No, I do not want to install an unvetted third party plug-in. If nothing else, flag that the browser doesn’t support hardware acceleration when playing videos, in easy to understand terminology so I, and thousands of others don’t have to go troubleshoot exactly what is causing my computer to choke.

You can turn off suggested links on the new tab page through the cog in the top right corner. That’s been the case for years
not only can you easily turn off any ads or suggestions, but you can set custom urls in easily-accessible settings at about:preferences#home
Oh and maybe invest in actual Firefox development instead of whatever meme tech interests the executive this month…
