Burnout/Pocket
I just got this new thing at the bottom of my screen. It is talking about Burnout/Millenials/Pocket. Is this some new sort of SPAM/POPUP crap? Is it from Mozilla? How do I stop that from happening again?

Moving to Firefox Support as no bug has yet been identified here.
Care to post a screenshot so we can understand what you’re on about?

That is the "Snippets" item in the Home Page settings. Remove the check mark.

Those are both for new tabs, right?

I closed the window, so can't do a screen shot. I just want to make sure it doesn't come back. Looks suspicious.

If it's not a built-in Firefox page, it's probably from that site or one of their advertisers or one of your add-ons.DN123ABC wrote:This is at the bottom of an existing page.
