After an update the homepage shortcuts are mixed with the recent visited history.

An option to hide the recent visited history from the shortcuts homepage or the possibility to show only the fixed shortcuts would be interesting.

While I appreciate that, on the Firefox Home Page, oft used websites can have shortcuts right on that page, but what is driving me crazy is the fact that once you open a website, that site pastes a shortcut on your homepage whether you want one or not. Some of these shortcuts are impossible to get rid of. You 'Dismiss' and/or 'Delete from History' repeatedly and the site remains. It might move to another position on your display, but it sticks around. Firefox needs to make it possible to delete shortcuts that are not wanted. Please!

Give us a off/on button for the people who don't want it and for the people who want it and the same option for desktop.

Yeah I'm sick of random sites I viewed popping up in the new tab shortcuts. Let us turn it off.

Yes, please! At least give the user a choice! This setting is supposed to show shortcuts on the screen, not your browsing history! Who on earth is pushing these changes!? 😡

 Me just using the button close that delete history until this idea and this idea https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/clear-history-and-cache-older-than-a-certain-amount-of-time-or/...   is going to come to firefox android. i hope this year mozilla is gonna save me from this suffer. I need both these 2 ideas to be able to stop with close delete history on android. I wanna keep my latest history but i don't want that to show on my homescreen. i can't have one without the other. For other people it will be great if they only need one of those 2 but for me is both necessary to keep using without worrying. It will gave me calm when using it without a messy home screen and don't need to remember deleting history every time.

 See Opera has the option to turn off suggested websites that appears near the shortcuts based on your history. Even though Opera isn't that strong interms of privacy, but in terms of some customisations Opera is 4 parallel universes ahead of any of the android browsers available out there.

 

@JonNot being able to turn off suggested websites based on history on Firefox  Android is a pure torture. Please expedite something regarding this.

Even Microsoft Edge allows it.
