Can't access my bookmarks in recent activity area in new tabs after I've dismissed them
In firefox new tabs settings, I wanted to check bookmarks option to see my bookmarks. so I did that and then in a new empty tab I was playing around and clicked on "dismiss" option of one of the bookmarks in the recent activity area. and now I wanted it back but I can't get it :(. I've tried removing the website from bookmarks and then adding it again but still it's not shown in the recent activity area in new tabs.
Thanks

If you dismiss a history item then this item is added to a blocked pref on the about:config page.
Changes made manually on the Firefox Home page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
- browser.newtabpage.pinned => websites pinned to a tile
- browser.newtabpage.blocked => websites removed by clicking the X (Dismiss) button in a tile
The blocked websites are stored as a hash, so you can't recognize them and you would have to clear the entire pref. If you use "Delete from History" then you do not have this problem.
