Every time a user opens up a new tab in Firefox, the browser displays a number of boxes, or Tiles. Frequent Firefox users see screenshots of the websites they visit most often in their Tiles.  What appears in Tiles is currently based on a “frecency” algorithm: your recency of visiting a site and your frequency of visiting a site.  Sites that have been visited with the most recency and frequency appear in a user’s Tile.

Default tiles (previously known as Directory Tiles) have been running for new users in Nightly, Aurora, and Beta but not yet in production. Enhanced tiles are now available to users on the en-US versions of Firefox Nightly, Aurora and Beta, and will be visible only to users who frequently and recently visit the site of participating partners.
Default tiles and Enhanced tiles have been running for all current versions of Firefox and pre-release versions where Enhanced tiles are only visible to users who would have seen a history tile for that site in the new tab page. Suggested tiles are available to en-US Firefox 38 users and all Firefox 39 users where suggestions are shown if the user's top sites match a list of sites.
