2044507 - Add new toggle to remove logo/wordmark

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Settings UI, enhancement)

Description

[Nina Pypchenko [:nina-py]]

Add a "Firefox logo" toggle to the Firefox Home section of about:preferences#home. The toggle controls the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.hideLogo pref added in bug 2041708 and lets users hide the Firefox logo on New Tab.

Design

Figma frame — refer to this for positioning. Final copy is "Firefox logo" (with "Firefox" as a brand reference), not "Logo" as shown in the mock.

• User impact if declined/Reason for urgency: Product managers would very much like to see this in 152 alongside with other settings as users are switched to the redesigned settings.
• Code covered by automated testing?: yes
• Fix verified in Nightly?: no
• Needs manual QE testing?: yes
• Steps to reproduce for manual QE testing: Please see the test plan in the patch.

• Explanation of risk level: Minor mechanical changes to existing code that works well - adding a yet another toggle on a page full of similar toggles. Fully covered by updated tests.
• String changes made/needed?: There is one new string being added but we were lucky to find translations for it elsewhere and added a migration to this patch.
• Is Android affected?: no

Hi Nina Pypchenko! I'm not seeing the Firefox logo when the toggle is enabled in about:preferences#home with latest Beta 152.0b8. I tested on Win 11 and macOS 26. Can you please take a look?

On latest Nightly 153.0a1, I can confirm that the Firefox logo is displayed as expected and the toggle correctly works as per test plan.

I can confirm on macOS 26 that the toggle does not work at all in Firefox 152. For me, it's the opposite case: The logo is always visible, no matter how I set the toggle.

Hi Sören, Ciprian, there were two parts to this feature update - the settings page update in this bug and the New Tab page update in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2041708. The patch for this bug was uplifted to 152 because we couldn't trainhop the new string but for #2041708 it wasn't deemed necessary - it would have been included in a trainhop targeting 151+ a few weeks ago. Can you confirm this feature still doesn't work even with the latest New Tab XPI included?

How do I check if the latest XPI is included? I tested Firefox 152 again, and it still doesn't work.

I've just downloaded Firefox 152 (I normally use FF Nightly) and I see that the current version is 152.0.1. On this version, I see the logo toggle at the bottom of about:settings#home and the toggle works for me to enable and disable the logo on the New Tab page.

Ciprian, could you double-check on the release version?

Comment 13

[Sören Hentzschel]

It still doesn't work for me in Firefox 152.0.1. Could it have something to do with the fact that I'm using a German build? Because bug 2047698 describes another feature that's supposed to be delivered via trainhop and also doesn't seem to work in a German build.

I can see the Firefox logo on Beta 153.0b5 and Release 152.0.3 if I switch the "browser.search.region" pref from "RO" to "US". Could you please confirm if that's expected, Nina?

I'll go ahead and assume the above is correct and close this bug as verified fixed.
