i cant use that box

You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag them to a different position to pin them to that position or you can remove them by clicking the close X of an item to block them. 
You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a slot on the about:newtab page to pin them. 
Changes are stored in the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder under the pinnedLinks key and blockedLinks key.
If you delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset those keys then you need to reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to assure that the chromeappsstore.sqlite file gets initialized properly. 
Otherwise the about:home might not be working.

On Firefox 13 the new tab page boxes are blank no matter how many times I visit a website

I downloaded firefox 13 about a week ago and when I open a new tab the boxes that are supposed to display your most visited webpages don't work, if you go to your bookmark that says "Most Visited" that displays my most visited webpages fine but none of the pages show up on my new tab page. Also if I click and drag one of the websites into the boxes the website name appears but it never loads any picture for the website.
If I don't click and drag the website to one of the boxes then the box is empty....there is no website, nothing. But I've gone to plenty of sites plenty amount of times and it is not showing up

I tried starting it in safe mode and it still wasn't working so I reset firefox back to default everything and the new tab page seems to work now.

The pinned and unpinned pages on the "new tab" page are glitchy as hell.

When I try to move ANY of the pinned of unpinned pages on the "new tab" page, all of them go off their grid and move spastically as I try to pin a page to a certain spot. It's really hard to describe. I already opened and closed firefox, but that didn't solve the problem. Hell, I even updated Firefox with the most recent update, but it's still doing it. I managed to get my tabs where I want them, but if I want to add another it's going to be nearly impossible because the bottom line of the grid is completely beyond reach.

Hi KRenee, Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window as follows:
#* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#In the Firefox Options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. '''Uncheck''' this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Thank you.

In the new tab page, how do you restore sites you've deleted.

in the new tab page, how do you restore sites you've deleted.

You can only edit the content of the chromeappsstore.sqlite file with an SQLIte manager like this Firefox extension:
* SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
# open Profile Directory -> chromeappsstore.sqlite -> Go
# open Table > webappsstore2
# select the "Browse & Search" tab to see all entries in that table
You can select the "batwen.:about" "blockedLinks" line and click the Delete button on the toolbar to remove that record and reset the deleted sites.

How do I keep the new tab page thumbnails visible even after deleting my browser history?

Every time I delete my browser history, I notice thumbnails of my pinned sites on the new tab page disappear. Is there a way around that; or something that can be done so it doesn't occur in future versions of Firefox?

Current Firefox versions use a separate thumbnails folder to store those images, so clearing the cache should no longer make them disappear. 
However clearing the history will prevent any slots from retaining the URL. 
If you want specific pages to show on the about:newtab page then you can drag a bookmark or history link into a slot to pin a web page.
Do any of the slots have an URL displayed under the image placeholder?

How do I change the new tabs page from google to the thumbnail one?

I just downloaded some stuff and when I got back onto Firefox it made the home page and new tab page Google. I changed the home page back but I'm unsure of how to make the new tab page the way it is with the thumbnails. None of the articles I've read helped.

My backround on the new tab page is gone. The boxes are there but I mean the actual background. It went away after updating an I wanna fix it.

After updating my Firefox, the background for my new tabs page is gone. The boxes are there. But the rest of the screen is just plain white and I dont know how to fix it.

The background on my new tabs page is white - actually bright grey, which is evidently the default. For changing colors used see
[[Change the fonts and colors websites use]]
Check the '''Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above.''' If unchecked, so only boxes without any content are shown.

When opening Firefox one of my homepages is often replaced by the new tab.

For the last several versions of Firefox one of my two homepages on opening the browser is frequently replaced by a new tab; clicking on the home icon always opens the missing homepage (along with a second copy of the other one that is open), but this is now getting annoying. I was hoping an update would fix the problem, but of course this has not happened.
The problem began several FF versions ago just about the same time I updated CCleaner, so I considered the possibility that the latter was deleting something that interferred with my FF tabs; after having uninstalled that version of CCleaner, however, and reinstalled the previous one - the use of which had never coincided with the tab problem - the continued issue with the new tab was clearly not due to CCleaner, so I could only assume that the problem was with FF itself. (Note: I had not installed any new plug-ins or extensions at the time the problem began.)
Thanks.

Hello All.
I cannot be sure if it is related, or indeed is the cause of the problem with the new tab, but in the last couple of days it has become evident that Google has been modifying some pages, including the Gmail logon page.
1) Yesterday I found that on the logon page the field for the password had gone; the username field was there with a blue button below it saying 'Next', which I had to use to bring up the password field;
2) Today, after attempting to login to my e-mail, I was taken to a security checkup/update page for my account, which I completed - except for providing a 'recovery phone number' - but I was given no way of getting into my e-mail; if I logged out and in again I was again taken to the same security update page. Eventually, I went to a google support page via a search engine and saw a link for Gmail that took me straight into my e-mail - I was still logged in - and I replaced the Gmail address for my Firefox homepage again and now I can get into my e-mail. (Part of my problem here may have been that I refused to give a phone number; the form asked me to complete it by adding a number, which I would have to have verified so I could not fake it, i.e. 01234...)
Given how long I have had the new tab problem - since at least FF32.0 - Google may not be the problem, but changes such as I have described do sometimes take some time and can clearly cause problems. Are any of you Gmail users?
Ian.

What are all of the New Tabs across the top when Downloading Firefox it has been going on for almost 45 minutes, MAC OS10.8.2

I am down loading the new Firefox. As soon as I stated the down load I start seeing these New Tab boxes start flowing across the top of my screen. They just keep coming and coming and I don't know what is going on. It looks like my computer is being hacked. I tried to stop it and I can't. I tried to close the window and couldn't, I forced quit my computer and as soon as it comes back on it goes right back to all of those New Tab going across the top of my screen. I was finally able to get another window to come up so I could send this message.
I may not be able to get back to this page or open my e-mail so if need be you can call me at two 51-621-96 nine eight

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

Website images in New Tab page are gone (except for one). I followed the Help directions to restore them. Nothing happened. They are still gone.

All but one of the images on the 'new tab' page are gone. I followed the FFox Help directions exactly & repeatedly. Nothing happened. The images are still gone. Restarting the computer did not help either.
I have Windows Seven.

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thumbnails-on-new-tab-page-are-missing
The thumbnails on the about:newtab page are generated from the cache, so if the page is not in the cache or otherwise can't or won't (secure pages) be rendered as a PNG image then you will get an empty box.
*Do not use Clear Recent History to clear data like the cache and the history when you close Firefox
If there is no history then you get an about:newtab page with empty boxes (no URLs).

Whilst using FF20.0.1 and now with FF21 the new tab thumbnails fail to open for each new session. Why?

For a long time my chosen websites appeared as thumbnail images on the new tab page when I began a new session, maybe since about FF15, I don't recall for sure. Recently, however, whilst using FF20.0.1 this behaviour stopped and none of the thumbnail images for my selected websites opened up, although the links to them remained and this behaviour has continued to FF21, which I have been using since yesterday (19th May). This is not a serious issue, but I do like things to work properly and to understand why they don't. I don't know why there should be a relationship between the two events, but the problem began after having opened the new tab page and before the images opened up I clicked on one of the links - where the thumbnail image would normally be - to go to the website; thereafter FF failed to retain a memory of the thumbnail images from one session to the next. By the way, I never empty my history cache only my main web cache that has previously had no effect on my new tab thumbnails, not since about FF15 or so anyway.

Cor-el, hi.
When I opened FF about ten minutes ago I noticed that the new tab thumbnail image I had brought up from my previous session had been remembered, so I opened some of the other websites listed to bring back their images too; I then shut FF down, re-opened it and the new tab page to find all the images had been recalled. Next, I shut down the computer to determine whether or not the images were getting lost that way; on rebooting the computer and launching FF I again found the images were still there. Now I closed the new tab and emptied the main cache (43 MB); on opening the new tab the images were still opening (you will recall that when the new tab thumbnails first came out they disappeared on emptying the main cache). Bearing all this in mind I have not yet tried your suggestion of temporarily disabling the add-ons in safe mode because if the thumbnail images came up that would not currently tell me anything. Also, the problem I described in my first post does not remotely coincide with the installation of any add-ons, which have not been recent. Given then that my thumbnails are appearing after the cache has been cleared where does FF get them from now? I still don't understand this recent behaviour and why for the moment the problem is not occurring. Thanks again.

Updated Firefox, now when I open a new tab, there is two seperate google search bars; how do I get rid of the unnecessary search bar?

I updated Firefox, and after I restarted it, when I opened a new tab, I found that I now had two Google search bars: one next to where you type web addresses, and one right above my pinned sites (or my frequently visited sites). I'm just trying to:
1. Figure out why it is necessary to have two of the pretty much identically useful search bars when I really only need one (or can physically type Google in)
and
2. How do I get rid of the unnecessary second Google search bar above my frequently visited and therefore pinned sites.
If you have any ideas of how to remove this annoying addition, I would appreciate it.

I am guessing that you installed an extension, related to "new tab", which added the first search bar. Firefox 31 in includes a search bar for the "new tab" page; so now you have two.
Take a look at that extension (Options or Preferences) to see how to disable ones of those 2 search bars. Or see if an update has been released for that extension, specifically for Firefox 31, with an option to disable the search bar.

My new tab page is missing and now when I type about:newtab in the Awesome bar I get a page called about:about. Help!!

I use to have the grid of pinned webpages whenever I clicked on the X of a new tab page. Now it's gone. I figured out if I typed about:newtab in the Awesome bar it would restore the page, but not all the time. Now when I type about:newtab in the Awesome bar I get a page called about:about...and I don't want that. How can I get my pinned websites back on my New tab page?
