Cool. I'm curious how they'll play out with non-power users. Suggested sites are not always a bad thing. I've discovered some cool sites & services through advertising.
Hopefully they hold the ads to a very high bar, akin to what Reddit does (with manual review of every ad), instead of self-service ad networks that are of dubious quality.
Granted, one of the first things I do with a fresh Firefox install is get rid of the new tab page. Opening a new tab, typing the first two letters of the site I want, and hitting enter is faster than the new tab page, waiting for the tiles/images to load, and using a mouse to click on a top site.
