In my top sites are options for Amazon and Google. I'd like to prevent them from coming up so sites I regularly use get higher billing.

Hi, this is currently only available in the US, so I can't see it to test, but try hovering your mouse pointer over the site thumbnail and you should see 3 dots (...) in the right-hand corner; click on them and select Dismiss. Customize your Firefox New Tab page

If they come back try this: Type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down the alphabetical list to browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.topSiteSearchShortcuts and double click on it to change 'Value' from True to False, then restart Firefox.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
