With the 10th anniversary update to Firefox, there was an important update to the new tab experience, promoting Tiles to the Firefox stable build, and making them available to hundreds of millions of users around the world. Today we are excited to announce our first two sponsored Tiles partners: CVS Health and their media agency Mindshare North America, and Booking.com.
What are Tiles for?
For years, the new tab page in Firefox was unique in being intentionally blank – but by 2012, we learned that we could facilitate many users’ workflow through the new tab page. We added thumbnails based on a calculation of “frecency” (frequency and recency of a user’s browsing history, essentially the same way that the Awesome bar calculates relevance). We learned that many users find these history thumbnails useful; but we were not entirely satisfied with the feature. Thumbnails might be broken, and the experience could be much more dynamic. And that is the user’s experience!! Jeez Firefox Tiles>>>>>Not seen it yet because I use the 'New Tab Homepage' Add-on>>>>>
