Firefox keeps a record of sites you visit often, and generates a list of “Smart Bookmarks” that you can create your own list of smart bookmarks using custom queries instead of URLs as well. Right-click on the Bookmarks toolsbar and choose New Bookmark. Use a descriptive name for the bookmark, and under Location, enter one of the queries below (whichever suits your fancy, or tweak them to get the results you want):

• For your 10 Most Visited Sites:
Place:queryType=0&sort=8&maxResults=10

• For your 10 Most Recent Bookmarks:
Place:queryType=1&sort=12&maxresults=10

• For your 10 Most Visited Sites with “thinkdigit” in them:
Place:queryType=0&sort=8&maxResults=10&terms=thinkdigit

Here’s all the information you need to build these queries:
