Public bug reported:

It seems that we show pages that have been visited even once up to a
total of 10. I noticed when removing some pages from top sites that an
unlimited supply kept the total at 10, but many of these were pages I
visited once and would never use again.

It does seem on  first use you would want to show some number of pages
even if they are only viewed once, but once the user establishes which
pages they view multiple times those should allow us to ignore single
visits. Firefox doesn't start to show "tiles" for most visited sites for
30 days acc to https://blog.mozilla.org/advancingcontent/2014/02/13
/more-details-on-directory-tiles/

I was removing sites that did not have thumbnails , unfortunately I thin
this means they will ever again show up in the top sites. Not sure if
permanent removal is what is desired, I can see it either way.
