About the New Tab page

Firefox makes it easy for you to access great content the moment you open a new tab by displaying your most frequently and recently visited sites along with popular web content. The New Tab page is the default Firefox start page unless you have set a different home page.

When you first use Firefox you'll see links to top-ranking websites and popular search engines. These are eventually replaced with Top Sites, which are links to frequently and recently visited sites from your browsing history.
