Is there a way to delete selected 'shortcuts', on the home page, from long ago to make room for those visited now more frequently?

You can possibly pin elected bookmarks or history visits to a tile.

Note that it is better to use "Delete from History" and not "Dismiss" as the latter makes Firefox store a hashed value of this link in a pref on the about:config page and this pref can grow quite large.

Changes made manually on the Firefox Home page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.

  • browser.newtabpage.pinned => websites pinned to a tile
  • browser.newtabpage.blocked => websites removed by clicking Dismiss in a tile
