What are Sponsored Tiles?

When you download Firefox for the first time, you haven’t built up any history of sites in Firefox yet. So, Firefox gives you a few tiles already filled in with suggestions we hope you’ll like! Sometimes we’ll show a website we think is useful or a project or cause that you might find interesting.
