I have quite a few tiles on firefox I can not delete. They will sometime move around the page but will not go away. I switched to firefox recently because of IE going away and have been trying for several months with no results. I'm not sure what the boxes on the home screen are called but hope someone understands what I mean.

See:

You can remove all data stored in Firefox for a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox for this domain like history and cookies and passwords and exceptions and cache, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data for that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data for that website will be saved once again.
