Recently visited pages in new tab always miss recent sites

If enabled, opening a new tab page should give you the most visited websites (Firefox support page says: Top Sites: shows your most visited sites). Anyway in my case on all my Firefox installations the list is not correct, since several frequently visited websites are always missing. I can't find any detail about the criteria that Firefox uses to make the list, nor anything specific in the settings. What's the reason some sites never appear in the list even if I regularly visit them?
