Firefox for Android randomly adds new items to Shortcuts

Firefox for Android has a section called Shortcuts on its home page, see picture. You can pin pages there (note the drawing pin in the top left corner of the icons), which makes them easily accessible.

However, if you browse the internet, you will notice, that additional pages will appear on the list, after the pinned ones. This happens randomly. The browser decides arbitrarily which pages it puts there, the user cannot influence this, or turn this off in Settings. Additionally, you cannot remove them from the list. If you long-tap one of them, there is only the option to delete it from history (which removes it from the list as a consequence).

This annoying feature is 2.5 years old. Please make a setting that turns it off. I don't want the browser to append to my list of Shortcuts.
