I have manually set two rows of my most used links. After a while FF changes it because it sees I've clicked on some other links. Is there a way to prevent FF from changing my selection? I want to keep it exactly as I have set it up.

You can pin each of the tiles on the new tab page to protect them against changes. You can hover a tile until you see a three-dot icon appear and click this icon to open a drop-down menu that includes a Pin item.

Thanks, your reply answered my question - initially.

Now today, although it has kept the tabs I where I wanted, after I pinned them, I see it is still adding more. I originally had six per row, now I have eight per row, over two rows. Will it go on forever, until I have too many to see easily?

So my next questions is: Can I prevent FF interfering by adding new tabs, just keeping the ones I set-up only?
