I just bought a Galaxy Tab s2 loaded with android 6.0.1. Using Firefox for search, my wife opens the firefox home page and gets a series of tabs called 'top sites', some of which are transfers from her old machine BUT a few are new....Twitter and Facebook . I do not see a delete ability on that page. How do we get rid of the bloatware for social media we neither want nor can get rid of??

Hi

These are just some top sites that we know people visit. Unless you have locked them in place, your everyday browsing with Firefox for Android will replace them with sites that you visit.

Alternately, you can long press on one of the tiles that you want to remove and select Remove from the menu that appears.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.
