The customizable Firefox New Tab page can display shortcuts (sites you save or visit the most), popular articles on Pocket, and your recent activity (including recently visited pages or bookmarks). The New Tab page is the default Firefox start page, unless you have set a different home page.
When you first use Firefox, you'll see links to top-ranking websites and popular search engines. These are eventually replaced with Shortcuts, which are links to frequently and recently visited sites from your browsing history.
