Steps to reproduce:

Going to homepage on Firefox for Android 135.0b9 (Build #2016069743).

Actual results:

A full first page of sponsored shortcuts is displayed (8 shortcuts).

Expected results:

Only 2 sponsored shortcuts are expected.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Fenix::Homepage' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: General → Homepage

This seems to have been resolved. Possibly a server side issue which was pushing more sponsored links, but the limit should also be enforced at device level.

Thanks very much for the report! You are correct. The service that returns sponsored shortcuts had been updated to return more shortcuts for clients to choose from and the client was not filtering the additional sponsored shortcuts to display. This definitely wasn't intentional, and we've remedied this server-side, so your homepage should be returning to normal very soon. Do let us know if this is still happening after 1-2 hours because this isn't the experience we want for people using Firefox.
