So basically, i want all the shortcut spots on the firefox homepage to become the no website thing, but it just replaces the dimissed shortcut with another, and when changing it to 4 rows, it shows the shortcuts are pretty much just moved, and of course i want it to just be empty. so yeah, how do i make them all empty? (ive looked through the internet for solutions, and ive just found solutions that dont work, or ones not the same as my issue.

The shortcuts section shows websites you visited recently, i.e it is similar to recent lists you see for the history and the bookmarks in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list. This means that if you use Remove or Dismiss that the next page in the list takes its place.

Note that using Dismiss adds the URL as a hashed value to a pref on the about:config page and this pref can grow quite large if you dismiss a lot of websites.

The only way to prevent Firefox from filling a shortcut tile is to pin a webpage to each tile. You can possibly edit browser.newtabpage.pinned to add a unique {"url":"https://","label":"Name"} pair for each tile, use "null" for a tile Firefox may fill. You can leave out trailing "null" entries.

--- 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

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. If you get the warning page, you can click the "Accept the Risk and Continue" button.
