How do I manage my Firefox New Tab page? I deleted one by clicking X. I moved them around but how do I add a website to a blank tab?

You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag them to a different position to pin them to that position or you can remove them by clicking the close X of an item to block them.

You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a slot on the about:newtab page to pin them.

Changes are stored in the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder under the pinnedLinks key and blockedLinks key.

How do I disable this feature? I don't like my history to be displayed when I open a new tab.

You can set the New Tab page to about:blank by modifying the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page to make Firefox open an empty page as explained in the above posted KB article.
