Migrate from Chrome

Trying to retire the Google surveillance tool, Chrome, by using Firefox. Ugh, if y'all want to encourage this someone should really look at how this is done!

I got bookmarks moved and prefs setup. Importing extensions is really nice--thanks FF devs--but a feature of Chrome I use every day is the set of icons on the new tab/home page/startup page. It is super easy to customize on Chrome but I can find no way to do so in Firefox. These icons have no label on the page and are right under the search bar--see image.

I have spent most of the morning following unhelpful links about android or mentioning menu options that do not exist. I am using FF 119 on macOS.

Thanks to the community for help!

See:

You can hover a tile on the Firefox Home page to reveal the three dots. If you click these three dots then you open a menu where you can find Edit to edit the Title and URL.

Aha, rather obvious now I know what to look for and more flexible than Chrome, thanks.
