Ok, can we please make one thing work and stick with it? Just got ANOTHER update today and once again I have lost ALL of my bookmarks on the new tab page and they were replaced with sites I don't even visit, like Facebook, Redit and something to do with Outlook. Quit deleting my bookmarks and replacing them with YOUR suggestions. Getting very tired of being forced into what YOU want Firefox to say and do. I DON'T want to visit Twitter!

I also don't appreciate how you keep changing the number of rows I have set up and continue to try and force the "Recommended by Pocket", "Highlights" and "Snippets" by turning the options back on when I have them turned off for a reason.

STOP OVERRIDING MY SETTINGS.

While we're on the subject of annoying things that don't make sense, would you please put back the option of drag & drop bookmarks into the New Tabs page? This BS of having to type everything in manually is utter nonsense when I want to create a tile with a site that I want saved.

See these articles about the default New Tab page (about:newtab).

If you hover the Top Sites line on the the Activity Stream design versions of the new tab page and the home page then you will notice an Edit button appearing at the right end of the Top Sites line. There is an Edit (pencil) button on each tile in the window that opens to edit this tile. There is an Add button that allows to add a website and enter title and URL.
