Beschreibung

Among Mozilla's suggestions that fill up an otherwise blank New Tab page, I noticed something in particular: one of the suggestions I saw, one of Mozilla's ads, was for a proprietary password manager of some kind. That's no good!

I think either the feature needs to be removed from Abrowser, or it needs to be configured to recommend different things than Mozilla does.

As per Quidam this is fixed in the latest update https://trisquel.info/en/forum/abrowser-34-new-tab-page#comment-60570

Confirmed, with one caveat: if you had previously been shown ads, you still will be unless you click the "X" to get rid of it. At that point, it's gone forever. Same goes for all other Mozilla links.
