User Story

As a user, I want to see my frequently accessed sites on the homescreen in a useful way, so I can reference them to complete my routine tasks faster.

Dependencies

Acceptance Criteria

  • I can disable this feature
  • If enabled, I see my frequently accessed sites on my homescreen
  • There is a cap on # of automatically generated top sites to avoid cluttering the homescreen
  • Users can turn off this feature in settings (just the auto-populated top sites, not the user added ones) (This is a requirement for shipping this feature)
  • I can customize how my top sites show up on the homescreen (e.g. choose how many sites or rows to see)

Nice to have:

Can you please make this an optional feature? I really don't want my homescreen cluttered with auto-populated sites. It's always the first thing I disable in new installations of Firefox on desktop systems and Firefox for Android should allow to disable this, too. Thanks!

I would also like to see some news articles featured like Kiwi Browser has.

News articles seems more something for #6416. This issue is about the top site thumbnails - there is no space for a headline or text.

This is partly there, and gl can do a demo on 6/5 to decide whether to put this into release, and will need to fix fallout during codefreeze time (40% confidence that good enough right now), or can be a fast-follow after releaese.

Feature is currently hidden behind the Secret Menu to display visited sites.

Having tested it I am wondering if it should not be apart from top sites : they have been limited to 8 (x2) and that's not a lot.
And for people not wanting it it may be easier to turn it off?

Besides it didn't matter for top sites but for frequent sites having a thumbnails instead of an icon would really be better. You may not be as familiar with them than you are with top sites.

Hi @Matth7878,

I agree, I don't know what half of those frequently visited sites are from the icon that's used! 😆

Cheers 🙂

I tested the issue on Firefox Preview Beta 81.1.0-beta.1. The patch notes for this build contain this fix but the top sites are not populated with the most visited websites and the Secret settings menu is blank.

Devices used:

  • Huawei MediaPad M3 (Android 7.0)
  • OnePlus 6T (Android 9)

The option is not present in the Customize Settings menu, I have reopened issue #14119 regarding this.
