Deleting unwanted thumbnail from home screen

a little while ago firefox had an update... and now i have quite annoying pesky problem.
we had 9 (nine) thumbnails... and i had everything perfectly arranged... now we have 6 more.. AKA: 15... I DONT WANT THE 6.... how do i remove them so i can get back to my 9.. otherwise these shenanigans are ruining my day, i have nothing to put in them.. i DONT want your sponsored shiiii... (i think you get what im saying here) i want my 9.. as big as they were before the update. not 15. not 21.. just.. 9.. same size.. same shape. How do i do this?

Hello,
You can change that setting in your Firefox configuration:
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
# Search for and modify the following preferences (by double clicking the row, or right clicking the row and selecting '''Modify''')
#* '''browser.newtabpage.columns'''
#* '''browser.newtabpage.rows'''
If that isn't to your liking, you can try the following extension:

  • Deleting googlemail account from home screen

    Hi all, please help.
    I have passed on my Blackberry 8520 (PAYG) to my wife and with her own SIM has now paid for blackberry services through Orange. All is well, except that alongside her googlemail icon on the home screen remains my original gmail account icon. How can I delete this? I have gone to email settings and can only find my wife's email account listed, which makes sense as we added this email account to the phone recently. I simply cannot remove this now defunct old googlemail icon from the home screen. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hello karl8695
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
    Have you performed a wipe on your old device before passing it on to your wife ? 
    If not do a backup of your old device using BlackBerry Desktop Software , then perform a security wipe which will remove any previous email account that is associated with that device. After a wipe you can use the BlackBerry ID of your wife on that device. :

  • HT204022 Is there a way to delete unwanted photos from an iPad?  The Photos app on the iPad 3 has no option to delete photos that are synched into it via iCloud or iTunes.

    Is there a way to delete unwanted pictures from the Photos app on an iPad?

    Navigate to the photo sheet page (the one with the thumbnails) tap the edit button in the top right corner, tap the photos you want to delete to select them, tap the delete button in the bottom right corner.

  • How to delete unwanted apps from itunes

    how to delete unwanted apps from itunes cant figure it out

    What do you mean delete from iTunes? You can't do that on an iPad. You can delete apps in iTunes on a computer. If you want to delete an app on the iPad, tap and hold down on the icon until the icon wiggles, then tap the  X appears on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button when finished.
    You really need to explain in more detail what you wNt to do. Maybe this will help.

  • Iphone 4s in settings can't access Notes or Mail.  Also can't access mail from home screen. Can't send email. All else is good.

    I need help. I have reset my iphone. I have turned it off then on. Still can't launch my built in mail app from home screen. When I try it goes to blank page then right back to home screen view.
    In settings for the iphone 4s I can not access Notes or Mail, Contacts,Calendars. When I tap either of the two they highlight in blue and then go right back to Home Screen view. I seem to be able to access everything else in settings with no trouble.
    From home screen I have no trouble I can launch the built in utility Notes with no problem. I also can launch Calendars from Home Screen view. My Contacts are still reachable by tapping Phone from H/S view then clicking on contacts.
    I can not launch mail. nor can I send email. Also the built in mail app is not showing it is recieving mail either. All else seems fine.
    I can log in to my email from Safari on iphone and from my laptop with no problem.
    Anyone have any suggestions?  My iphone is out of warranty. Apples only suggestions are To pay for support.
    Thanks in advance

    Just had a thought....was trying to rememberif anything changed last night. I think I installed a mac OS X Security update. That's about the time the trouble started. Any ideas? Thanks.

  • I deleted unwanted photos from my iPhoto library, emptied iPhoto trash & Finder trash... this did not free up disk space. please help!

    I deleted unwanted photos from my iPhoto library, emptied iPhoto trash & Finder trash... this did not free up disk space. please help!
    I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (Late 2011) with OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
    Last week, my 500 GB Harddrive had 120 GB free space. I was feeling crumby and decided to make productive use of taking a day off to lounge around. I snuggled up with my laptop and dedicated hours to meticulously combing through my iPhoto Library. I had 13,000 pictures, and I got rid of those I didn't want. Having said "sayōnara" to about 6,500 pictures, I then emptied the iPhoto trash and the Finder trash. I took delight in the iconic paper crumpling sound of them vanishing into the digital void.
    Everything seemed perfect: the photos I loved were still there, the photos I loathed were gone, both trashes were beautifully empty. Having thrown away all of those awful, boring, and unflattering images of poorly light lunches and selfies gone wrong, my iPhoto library was half the size as before! I felt renewed, a little lighter, somehow more free, and I expected my hard drive to be a bit different to.
    I eagerly checked my storage stats. My heart sank to see that my 120 GB of free space, was still only 120 GB of free space. I restarted my MacBook; this did not help. I restarted it the next day; this also did not help. It's been 5 days and the hard drive still has 120 GB free space. This is not an emergency and it will probably be a good while before I clutter my laptop to the brim. Yet while I am glad I don't have to see cringeworthy pictures of my ex's unmentionables every time I'm showing off things I do want to remember, I'm still disappointed and now obsessed with solving this mystery.
    What is going on? I don't see them, so where are they hiding? How do I get the free space I should have earned from throwing away 1,000's of photos?!

    Thank you, Terence!
    Yes, I only emptied the trash when it was really full, once I waited until the trash cans contained 2,600 photos and then I emptied them - Oooops! In the future, I'll keep in mind your suggestion of deleting less than 100 photos at a time.
    I downloaded the iPhoto Library Manager and used it to rebuild my iPhoto. After a few hours of rebuilding, it generated a new copy of my iPhoto Library. This versions was nearly identical to the original (it was missing 5 photos and was therefore only 5 mb smaller). I guess my Library wasn't defective.
    I checked my storage stats, and interestingly, using iPhoto Library Manager did help with the problem that developed after I re-indexed my hard drive. My hard drive is able to properly recognize data categories again, instead of listing almost everything as "Other". Understandably, my free disk space changed from 120 GB to about 60 GB, because my hard drive now contained a second copy of my iPhoto Library as well as iPhoto Library Manager. It seemed like all I needed to do was throw these away, but when I emptied the trash, my problem was not solved. My Hard drive now looked like this:
    It appears to me that when I empty the trash, the things I throw away are just hanging around as backups instead of leaving! I went into System Preferences and turned of my time machine OFF. Now my hard drive looks likes this:
    The back ups of the iPhoto files, and the program which I deleted, are still on my hard drive some where but now they are listed as "Other" instead of "Backups". Do you know where they might be and how I can delete them for good?

    I'm not sure why anyone would want to help you if you start a thread by cursing at and berating the people from whom you want help.
    Where did you purchase your phone? What is the model number? What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you checked to make sure that it hasn't been disabled in Restrictions?

  • How to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar app on Yosemite?

    I upgraded to Yosemite and one of the problems I had with Calendar App had something to do with Time Zone.
    I realized that Calendar added California time as default. So now I want to delete the unwanted time zone, but cannot find a way to do so.
    How does one remove or uncheck a time zone in iCal (Mountain Lion)?
    I found this forum and tried, but as the last person who posted said, it doesn't work on Yosemite.
    Does anyone know to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar App on Yosemite?
    Thanks.

    Thank you for your response.
    However, I am not asking about how to change the timezone on Mac. I'm asking about how to delete unwanted timezones on Calendar app.
    Here I have 2 Pacific Time's. They are basically the same, but sometimes my computer choses one of the other without my intention. And when it does, it keeps showing (PST) on next to the starting time which I do not want. In order to avoid that, I'd like to delete "Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles)". From the link you provided, I'm not finding the solution to this. I might be looking at a wrong spot and if so please be patient to guide me through.
    If my question still doesn't make sense, please click the link to the solution for the same problem on Mountain Lion in my original question. You might understand my question better from it.
    Thank you.
