When I open up a new tab I get six tiles that are commonly used websites, I inadvertently deleted one of these tabs. How do I make it so that I can add it back and lock this tab in? I tried using the help page but that did not work.

Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.

  • browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
  • browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.

You can reset either or both of these prefs via the right-click context menu to undo all changes.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.


You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL. You can drag a bookmark or history item from the sidebar and drop it in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin this item and have your own favorites sites present.
