How to customize the default Firefox home screen

Firefox Home on your Android device displays your top visited sites, recently visited tabs, recently saved bookmarks and searches, collections, and articles and topics recommended by Pocket. Learn how to customize your Firefox for Android homepage. __TOC__ =Customize Firefox Home= You can control which sections are visible on your Firefox for Android homepage: #Tap {button Customize homepage} at the bottom of your homepage. #Tap the switch next to {menu Show most visited top sites} to turn it on (purple) or off (gray). #Tap the switch next to {menu Jump back in} to turn it on (purple) or off (gray). #Tap the switch next to {menu Recent bookmarks} to turn it on (purple) or off (gray). #Tap the switch next to {menu Recently visited} to turn it on (purple) or off (gray). #Tap the switch next to {menu Pocket} to turn it on (purple) or off (gray). =Top Sites= ==Add a site to your top sites== Your top sites will be listed as icons on your homepage for easy access. #Visit the page you want to pin. #[[Template:menupreview]] #Tap {menu Add to top sites}. When you open a new tab, the pinned website will now appear in your ''Top Sites''. ==Unpinning sites from your Top Sites== You can unpin a thumbnail at any time by pressing down on it and selecting {menu Remove} from the menu. ==Show most visited sites== You can have your home screen in Firefox for Android show your most visited sites alongside your pinned ''Top Sites''. To add most visited sites to your home screen: #[[Template:menupreview]] #Tap {menu Settings}. #Select {menu Customize}. #Under ''Home'', enable the slider next to '''Show most visited sites'''. #You will then see your most visited sites on your home screen. =Collections= You can organize groups of tabs for quick access as collections for tidy storage and viewing on your home screen. Firefox Collections can be easily created when you have the need, and then deleted when you no longer do. If you have no collections, they won't appear on your home screen (you can dismiss the note about collections in Firefox 81+). ==Create a new collection== To create new collections: #Visit the page you want to add to a new collection. #[[Template:menupreview]] #Tap {menu Save to collection}. #Tap {button Add new collection}. #Enter a name for the new collection in the text field that displays. #Tap '''Done'''. #The collection now displays within the ''Collections'' section on the home screen. Visit [[Collections in Firefox]] to learn more about how to manage them.
