I have tried the solutions already offered but without success. I have the list of Top Sites in front of me but when I long tap one, I get "Firefox: About your browser." The choices offered are Open in New Tab, Share, and Add to Home Screen.

Help, please.

Hi llevitan, You may need to check for updates. The latest Firefox version is 24.0. On the Top Sites screen tap the address bar at the top of screen (screenshot 1), this will open "about:home" which shows the tabs Top Sites, Bookmarks and History (screenshot 2). Tap and hold a page you want to remove and a dialogue box "Customize controls, options and add-ons" will open (screenshot 3). Select Remove and your page will be removed from the Top Sites list.

The latest version of Firefox is actually 25.0.1, please update to that.

Thanks. I've updated to Firefox 25 and deleted the top sites as you suggested. A follow-up question, please: Is there a way to prevent Firefox from keeping a top-sites list to begin with?
