How do I control Most Visited sites selection?

At present the operation of the 'MOST VISITED' adds almost every site to the list. I may even visit a site only once but it remains as a most visited site. Also, I notice that some sites that I visit regularly eg. 'Al Jazeera English' is not added to the list.

So, how is the selection as 'most visited, decided? I only expect the sites that I do visit to stay on the list, otherwise the MOST VISITED is just a running short list of last sites visited.

You don't control it. It is a report of your usage in the last 7 days. Compare to the list you see if you to the following:

  1. "Ctrl+Shift+H" (Bookmarks > Show All History)
  2. Select "Last 7 days" in left panel
  3. Click "Visit Count" column so you have a descending sort (Highest counts at top)

If you don't see Visit count, right-click on any column or click on View menu of Library list and check-mark "Visit count"
