issue with shortcuts

I am experiencing an issue with the shortcuts (Top Sites) on the New Tab page. Despite disabling the relevant options, unwanted websites are automatically appearing based on my browsing history.

I need to manually control and add all shortcuts myself, and I do not want Firefox to automatically suggest them.

I have set the following preferences to false and the issue persists: 

   browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.topsites

   browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.section.topstories

   browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.section.highlights

   browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.showSponsored

   browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.showSponsoredTopSites

I also tried setting the maximum number of Top Sites to 0 using: 

   browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.topsites.limit (Assuming this is the correct preference for the limit, as the one you listed was repeated)

Could you please advise on what other preference might be causing the automatic generation of these shortcuts?"
