Fire Fox has added on the home page apps for E-Bay and Amazon and took away my Tyler Paper app.

I never shop Amazon and rarely shop E-Bay and do not want them on my home page. They also have two apps for my Chase bank

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Hi jpw6391, you should be able to remove unwanted sites from the shortcuts/tiles on the Firefox Home / new tab page.

For example, does your new tab have an Amazon search shortcut in the first position below the search bar? You can use that tile's menu to remove it, either with Unpin -- which may simply change where it is in the list -- or Dismiss -- which should remove it. Does that work? More info in this article: Customize items on your Firefox New Tab page.

Note that Firefox stores sites you dismiss in the browser.newtabpage.blocked pref on the about:config page, so this pref can grow large if you Dismiss a lot of webpages. Using 'Unpin' or 'Delete from History' doesn't do this.
