The customizable Firefox New Tab page can display shortcuts (sites you save or visit the most), popular articles on Pocket, and your recent activity (including recently visited pages or bookmarks). The New Tab page is the default Firefox start page, unless you have set a different home page.
Weather
The Firefox new tab page can display your local weather in the upper right corner, providing quick updates directly in your browser. This feature is currently available in specific regions, including the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, India, and Japan; other locations will be added over time.
Shortcuts
The Shortcuts section displays sites you save or visit frequently on Firefox. You may also see sponsored shortcuts, if enabled in your settings. These sites will also appear when you click in the address bar to start a search.
When you first use Firefox, you’ll see links to top-ranking websites and popular search engines. These are eventually replaced with Shortcuts, which are links to frequently and recently visited sites from your browsing history.
Recommended stories
The Recommended stories section displays content curated by custom machine learning tools and Firefox’s recommendations team. These stories are not informed by your browsing data. You can view or bookmark stories, remove them, or open them in a new window.
Recommended stories on the Firefox new tab page is a feature currently available in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain, and India. We’re working to bring it to other countries.
Recent activity
The Recent activity section may include your recently visited pages and bookmarks. In each tile, Firefox will show a download icon, the bookmark
star, or the recent visit clock
icon.
