New Update Firefox Stable Release

[Berny]

May this ?

FF → about:config → browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.widgets.system.weather.enabled → true

No way, even having that enabled:

The other 2 available Widgets work well...

Do you have access to https://www.accuweather.com ?

Yes

From MS Copilot :

" The Firefox weather widget often stops working because the feature is still being rolled out, is region‑dependent, and sometimes fails due to server‑side issues on Mozilla’s end. The most common symptom is the message “Weather data is not available right now”, which Mozilla acknowledges happens during testing and backend changes. "

I lost weather widget after update to Firefox 151. They messed up something in this release and the issue is already reported to Bugzilla.

Suddenly appeared 2 new widgets:

Well, a suggestion from @silversurfer FINALLY DID THE TRICK:

I only have 6 items (Linux; Firefox 151.0.4; the Netherlands):

Weather still not enabled:

Interesting, after changing these to true, weather widget appeared.

But as soon as I restarted Firefox, I got messed up new tab page and weather widget disappeared.

Reverted back to false everything and now my new tab page works normally.

If you are using NextDNS in Your FF, that's the issue, try to change to Cloudflare in DNS over HTTPS... I changed and Widgets are back.

Looks like NextDNS is blocking some FF telemetry needed for Widgets working.

I do use ControlD system-wide and DoH in Firefox is set to off. Disabled ControlD and set Cloudflare DoH—same thing.

I don't think something is blocked because when I first set entries for weather widget to true, widget was shown and loaded normally. But one restart was enough for it to disappear. Now all these entries set to true do is mess up new tab page.

Yes, after a restart I also lost 2 of the widgets I had enabled (Sports and Clock), but Weather remained working, this is crazy
