How Do I Pin A Tile To My New Tab Page, Instructions On Here Do Not Work.

These new FF updates are going to drive me to drink. It's a simple question, one would think, yet I cannot find the answer. FF29 has "tiles", I suppose they are called, when you click on "new tab page". At one point, I had them all on there...how, I don't remember.
Now, my "tiles" are disappearing. I have changed NOTHING. How do I re-add the websites I want to those tiles?
Before someone gives me the generic answer with the link, I will tell you that I already went to this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
Those instructions do not work. I do not have any little pin in those squares. When I go to a website that I usually go to, the only option I get is "Pin Tab" but that only adds a tab at the top of the browser window, it does NOT add it to the tiles, like I want.
I've tried the "Show All Bookmarks" route, and tried to drag the bookmark to a tile, it does NOT work.
There are 9 tiles. If I want to change them around, or re-add the 4 that have mysteriously disappeared today, HOW do I do that? Again, those blank tiles do NOT show a "pin" anywhere. They were set up, then they started to disappear. Again, I've changed NOTHING. It should not be this difficult to add a website to my tiles on my new tab page.

What troubleshooting information would you like. I posed a question, you tell me what you would like to see.
I know how to open my about:config, this isn't my first time on the internet.
You said: "You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page to see if it still has the default about:newtab value."
Yes, it does. What else would you like to know so that this can be fixed?
I also stated in my very first post that the link you just linked to, (that I also linked to so everyone was aware of what link I'm talking about), I already tried and it doesn't work. Do you guys even read what we put up or do you just hand out random, generic answers?

  • How do you create/add websites to the 'new tab' page?

    I followed the help link you guys have already created. It instructs to go the 'show all bookmarks' window and drag an already created bookmark to a vacant spot on the 'new tab' page. This doesn't work for my PC as after i drag the desired bookmark, it just opens that page on the new tab page. Please help out with how to add new tiles to the blank new tab page.

    Hi there,
    You want to save websites in the Firefox tab page tiles,this is how I do it.
    You have to have the bookmarks bar enabled if it's not showing in your
    Firefox.Right click on an empty space to the top of Firefox & click
    Bookmarks Toolbar,It should show under the address bar & search bar
    like mine.
    Go to what sites you want saved in the Firefox tab page,drag & drop the
    site in the Bookmarks bar.Open the Firefox tab page,now drag & drop what you saved in the Bookmarks bar onto one of the tiles,It should work.
    You can delete any sites saved in the Bookmarks bar,right click on it & click delete.
    Sites saved in the tab page may need to be pinned if you clear cache,history & cookies.

  • Pinned/saved websites in the "new tab page" disappear when restarting PC

    I'm having some problems with the new tab page. I pinned 9 websites that I use on a regular basis but this morning when I went online again, the pinned websites weren't on that page any more, instead, random websites.
    How do I save them ?

    Hi,
    Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites this] for the optimal configuration of the new tab page. If you installed any new privacy '''Extensions''', or a Windows history/privacy cleaner application, you can also try to adjust its settings.

  • How do I display more icons on the New-Tab page? I tried about:config

    The New-Tab page I see doesn't match what FF shows in help. I changed rows and columns and nothing changed.

    Hello,
    With the latest Firefox update, the number of tiles is now determined on screen size - if you zoom out or expand the window you can have more tiles appear.
    If you want to set a fixed number of tiles, you can do so with the following extension:

    It requires the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] add-on but will automatically shrink the tiles on the page and will limit the tiles based on what you entered for your rows and columns in the '''about:config''' page:

  • How to DELETE the bookmark icons from Safari New Tab Pages, How to DELETE the bookmark icons from Safari New Tab Pages

    I struggle to believe that I am the only person experiencing this problem.
    I just hope somebody has the decency to spend a couple of minutes replying with a resolution.
    Every time I click the + sign on my iPad, Safari to open a new tab page..
    I am greeted by loads of icons / boxes that are links to my bookmarks.
    I want to delete those icons / boxes from the page
    If I want to visit one of my bookmarks I use the bookmark icon at the top right of the page.
    If I long press on the icons they do not wobble / delete
    How can I delete them ?
    I dislike them so much I am beginning to think that I will have to stop using safari,
    and use a different search engine.....but I shouldn't have to.

    If you don't want to see these bookmarks when you open a new tab and you don't want to delete them you'll need to move them. Now as you probably know there isn't really a move function for Bookmarks in iPad, so what I'd recommend is Tap Bookmarks>Favourites tap one of the bookmarks in this folder and when it loads up save it to another location on your iPad - repeat for all bookmarks in this folder, once done tap Bookmarks>Favourites select EDIT and delete all bookmarks in the favourites folder.
    You need to bear in mind that FAVOURITES is simply a folder storage area for Bookmarks so any bookmarks you delete from this folder won't be available under Bookmarks unless you follow the process outlined above.

  • I want to know, if possible, how to change the names at the bottom of the tiles on the new tab pages.

    For instance, my tile for my email says "[email protected] Yahoo! Mail". Can I change those words to anything I want such as say "Mail"? Thanks!

  • How to find your itunes library on a new pc if your old pc is not working

    My old pc died several months ago. we saved the internal hard drive but have had little luck downloading everything.
    I'm trying to access my itunes library and assumed it would be available online using my account details.
    My account still exists and recognises my ipod, but no sign of my old library.
    What can i do?

    Your library will only be where you put it.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.

  • How do I get back the "old" new tab page with 9 tiles instead of 8?

    I find the 8/12 tiles (If pressed Ctrl+scrollwheel down) annoying, is there any way the get the classic "new tab" page with 9 tiles back?
    Ps I already tried changing the number of colums (5 to 3) about:config / browser.newtabpage.colums I got 9 tiles but it looks awful

    Thanks for that.
    But how do I get it back as it was..... before they messed it up?
    I don't want smaller text.
    And, as I said in my first post, NewTabTools deletes the Google Search Frame. (which i want)
    I just want my 9 tiles (at least) with the Google search form...'''.as it was'''.

  • How can I set the New Tab Page so that it only shows my Bookmarks (Like chrome) and not the history ?

    Hello, I've recently installed Firefox on my new PC after giving Chrome yet another chance (I've had bad experiences with it) and after seeing crashes everywhere I just gave up. I'm a long-time Firefox user but I've never been able to figure out how to prevent the New Tab Page from showing the Browser's History.
    Is there a way to make Firefox show Bookmarks and Folders on the NTP instead ? Also, is there a way to make the Bookmarks bar show on the New Tab Page ONLY ?

    The about:newtab page shows pages that you have visited. So if you visit a page by clicking a bookmark then that bookmark will become a history item and will thus appear in one of the tiles on the about:newtab page.
    If you want then you can customize the tiles and drag bookmark (and history) items in a specific tile to pin that web page to that tile.
    You set the number of rows and columns that appear on the about:newtab page by modifying these prefs on the about:config page via a double-click.
    *browser.newtabpage.columns (3)
    *browser.newtabpage.rows (3)

  • How do I change what appears on my New Tab?

    My default "new tab" page (with the tiles) disappeared and became about:home|about:newtab, which brings up a "the address isn't valid" error. How do I make the new tab page just about:newtab?

    Your System Details list show:
    *browser.newtab.url: about:home|about:newtab
    So you need tho modify this pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and set its value to about:newtab.
    *<b>about:config</b> page: <b>browser.newtab.url</b> = about:newtab
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

    Note that using the pipe (|) to set multiple pages only works for the home page.

  • How to make new tab page look like FF 32?

    How do I get the new tab page to use smaller tiles consolidated in the middle of the screen like they appeared before updating to FF 33?
    I find if much easier to work with the more compact placement of tiles. I understand that some users prefer larger thumbnails and find the scaled tiles to be beneficial, however, I find the older, more compact arrangement to work with.
    I already use the Classic Theme Restorer plug-in to get rid of the Australius UI "enhancements," as I find them distracting and inconsistent with my overall system configuration. In general, I like my UI to be compact, and usually prefer corners to the rounded elements that are becoming increasingly common design elements.

    Unfortunately, I don't think that there is an add-on that does specifically what you want. With the latest Firefox update, the number of tiles is now determined on screen size - if you zoom out or expand the window you can have more tiles appear.
    If you want to set a fixed number of tiles, you can do so with the following extension:

  • How to manually change the thumbnail images of the new tab page (without using addons)?

    I wanted to customize the images displayed on the thumbnails on the New Tab Page. I tried using the addon "New Tab Tools" to do so and it worked, for a while. Now a bug seems to have affected it (it is not displaying any thumbnails, so I uninstalled it). So I want to try another approach. I want to MANUALLY change the images for each of the thumbnail on the new tab page (of course, the thumbnails are 'pinned').
    (I read some other articles related to thumbnails, specifically about DELETING them, and it asked me to open the Firefox Profile Folder, and in there, delete the thumbnails folder. I thought I could simply change the images stored in it instead of deleting them, but there is NO thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder (I accessed the profile folder thru the troubleshooting information section in the help menu). So where is this thumbnails folder after all?)
    So, how can I do it?
    Thanks in advance.

    I note you are using Icedragon 26. Not sure I have come across that before.
    I guess they provide their own support, as they are apparently offering something based on an outdated and unsupported Firefox26. I see their forum has threads on Icedragon if you search for them, but at a quick glance I see no specific topic

    You could always install an official and up to date Firefox 29
    * See [[How to download and install Firefox on Windows]]
    * Download from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    You may note the New Tabs page may be subject to a few changes over coming versions of Firefox it is apparently being improved. Firefox itself as Fx29 is also slightly changed from Fx26

  • Tile view in new tab window not showing

    I recently updated Firefox to 36.0.4 and since then the tile view window (showing recently visited sites) when opening a new tab has gone. There is no 'Settings' button in the corner of the screen to turn it on either like theire used to be. How do I get it back?

    You can check on the <b>about:config</b> page if the <b>browser.newtab.url</b> is still set to <b>about:newtab</b>
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
