Firefox offers several content sections you can enable or disable:

  • Recent Bookmarks - Shows your most recently saved bookmarks
  • Recent History - Displays pages you've visited recently
  • Snippets - Shows tips, news, and information from Mozilla

You can toggle any of these sections on or off by clicking their checkboxes. For sections like Top Sites, you can also adjust the number of rows displayed to control how much content appears on your home screen.

Quick Customization Tips

  • Adjust row counts - For sections you do use, customize the number of rows to fit your screen space
  • Changes apply immediately - Any adjustments you make take effect right away when you return to the home screen

Your Firefox home screen should reflect how you browse the web. Take a few minutes to configure it with the content you actually use, and you'll have a much more efficient and enjoyable browsing experience every time you open a new tab.
