I think they are only shown in a new install (or new user profile) and replaced with sites you have visited in the past over time. It might also depend on the locale. +--- | If you are using Firefox for the first time, the New Tab page will | display useful and interesting content, including sites we consider | important to the Mozilla mission, and sponsored sites from commercial | partners.
