How do I organize my top sites on the Firefox home page?
Firefox displays websites on the Firefox home page based on how frequently you visit each site and how recently you were there. You can easily pin, edit and delete the sites that show up on the Firefox home page to customize it just the way you want.
You can pin up to six sites. If you have less than six sites pinned, then Firefox will dynamically fill in empty slots with top frequented sites. If you wish to keep a top frequented site, you can do this by pinning the site. If you wish to change the URL of a pinned site, you can edit the URL.
