How do I pick my own 'most visited' sites? You pick the 'most visited' sites and they are NOT my 'most visited' sites because such sites as twitter and wikipedia both appear and in the 21 years I have owned a computer I have NEVER visited either of these trashy sites and I would never lower myself to visit such trash and I would never want anyone to think I would lower myself to visit such trashy sites. Further, sites that I do visit each and every single day of my life such as Cambridge Dictionary do not appear on my most visited list and I find that equally offensive. Clearly only idiots choose your 'most visited' list and I want this offense corrected, like...NOW!!! Thank you.

Most visited is the result of a query if you mean the smart folder with this name. A smart folder shows the result of a query and in this case the frecency number determines what is in the list and+and recently) is a combination of visit count and bonus points.

If you want to remove websites from the list then clear their history or use "Forget About This Site".

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from this domain like history and cookies and passwords and exceptions and cache, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

Note that you can reorder and add tiles on the new tab (about:newtab) and the home page.

If you hover the Top Sites line on the new tab page and the home page then you will notice an Edit button appearing at the right end of the Top Sites line. There is an Edit (pencil) button on each tile in the window that opens to edit this tile. There is an Add button that allows to add a website and enter title and URL.
