Hello,

Like everyone else, when I click 'new tab' I have tiles that show up. You can choose whether to pin them permanently or not. These tiles appear based on your history but I have frequent sites I visit to that do not show up on the titles. My question simply is: How do I add a webpage as a new tile that is not showing up on its own? Please help. I am shocked there is not a simple intuitive way in doing so. Can someone suggest this to the developers? There should be an option to pin any site you visit to just like if you were bookmarking a webpage. Thanks!

You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL. You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.

Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.

  • browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
  • browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.
