I'm having some problems with the new tab page. I pinned 9 websites that I use on a regular basis but this morning when I went online again, the pinned websites weren't on that page any more, instead, random websites.

How do I save them ?

Hi,

Please see this for the optimal configuration of the new tab page. If you installed any new privacy Extensions, or a Windows history/privacy cleaner application, you can also try to adjust its settings.

Changes manually made on the about:newtab page are stored in the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder under the pinnedLinks key and blockedLinks key, so make sure that you or security software doesn't remove that filepff
