I can remove "little used" sites from the New Page tab but cannot direct Firefox to add or "pin" a tile for a frequently used site onto New Page tab. How do I tell Firefox that a site should be "pinned" on the New Tab page?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Hi Csbhkvp1, the only way I know to pin a tile that isn't already on the page (sometimes if you zoom out using Ctrl- to see all 15 tiles you might spot it) is to first bookmark the site you want to pin as a tile, then add the bookmark to the page. Please see this article for more info on that method: Customize your Firefox New Tab page ("Add a Tile from your bookmarks" section).

Sorry, on Mac, as you know, zooming out is Command- not Ctrl-

When you drag a tab or a history item to a tile then it should be pinned automatically as well.

Thanks. Both the suggestions are most helpful. :-)
