How can I dissable 'sponsored' tiles?

With the new Firefox we got the very unwanted sponsored tiles. There were about 10 tiles that were placed for me. Some of them were even animated. Some nice spam right in your face on a screen you use regularly.
There is a' gears' icon where you can say the page should go back to classic mode. But this doesn't do anything for me. The 'way to many tiles screen' with the sponsored tiles stay on the page (even after restarts).
There is a option disable, but this just makes the screen blank.
The solution I'm looking for is to restore the ' new tab screen' as it was with 9 tiles (15 is way to much) without tiles being pushed by Mozilla.
I have clicked the 'X' on the spam tiles and had to remove quiet some tiles before they stopped comming. But I fear (and I think I'm right here) that when new companies pay Mozilla to spam their users that the new tile will come on my screen. because it is added later and pushed to my screen.
Mozilla, stop herrassing your user base before they walk away.

Try this add-on:

Or fiddle with the about:config prefs.
browser.newtabpage.columns
browser.newtabpage.rows

Ask in the Reader forum. However, the process should be a property of the print driver for your printer, not Reader.

How can I turn off or make sponsored conent invisible?

I understand sponsored content and tiles - I want to only see tiles that I want to see. That does *not* include sponsored content.
I would rather pay for Firefox than have ads fed to my desktop - it is my favorite browser to use and develop on.
How can I deactivate sponsored tiles, aside from setting up an actual URL block in GreaseMonkey or similar?

Btw, classic mode still shows sponsored content.

How can I change from 6 to 9 boxes on my home page?? AND missing Firefox logo and wording

I recently removed some adware and now I have 6 tiles/boxes showing when I open a new tab instead of the 9 I used to have
How can I have 9 tiles/boxes showing instead of 6?? (Are 12 boxes available??)
Also, I'm missing the Firefox logo in the upper left corner as well as the words "File", "Bookmarks", etc. How can I restore them??
Thanks,
Bill

In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible whether the Menu Bar is visible or hidden.
You can have the Menu Bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks and History and Tools menus.
You can toggle the title bar on/off via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window.

My iPad was hacked through Words With Friends. Suddenly the tiles change and the points quadruple and I can't get control of the game. I deleted the app, but how can I make sure the virus hacker is gone?

iPad hacked from Words With Friends. Game suddenly appears in control. Not responsive. Suddenly my tiles change, then the points quadruple. I deleted the app, but would really like to continue playing with my family. How can I get rid of this hacker and or virus on my iPad?

Since it has happened previously, it is likely someone you know or who has access to your systems, or has access to recovery information with that game vendor. I seem to recall that vendor being called out for account security issues in the past, but can't say for sure.On the other hand, the symptoms you describe do not necessarily mean you have been "hacked", could be just that something is amiss with the app.
You may wish to reach to the app vendor and see what sort of support it offers.

My phone is dissabled and i dnt syc to the comp b4 how can i repair it

my phone is dissabled and i dnt syc to the comp b4 how can i repair it

Hey korodi,
Thanks for the question. The following article provides some solutions if your iPhone displays a "Disabled" message, and you have never synced with a computer:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Why are there tiles of recent sites on my homepage? How can I prevent it?

Every site I visit leaves a tile on my home page. I do not want them. How can I prevent it?

If you want to disable the thumbnails on the about:newtab page then create a new Boolean pref browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled on the about:config page and set the value to true.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

You can also set another page as the new tab page.

My tiles in Mahjong game have quadrupled in size. How can I get original size back. thanking you in advance. Earl66.

Earl, welcome to the forum.
It sounds like the resolution changes when you start the game. You should check the video settings. I checked the Mahjong game (Win 8.1) on my computer and there is no way to set the resolution in the Options.

I had a tile I used all the time and lost it-how can I get it back?

I really like the tiles in the new tab window. I used to have one for the local craigslist which is the site I go to the most. Somehow that tile got removed. Maybe a guest user on my computer deleted it. I don't really know, but I'd like to get it back. So, how can I add it or at least remove the delete setting so it will come back?

Maybe try to visit the site again. Then you might be able to add it back.
