Lost all my thumbnails - new tabs open only a blank page. How do I get them back?

The support topic on this question says to look for a "pin" icon in the upper left corner of the browser. I do not show one. Firefox used to just automatically populate my new tabs page with the thumbnails, but it is no longer doing that, and I don't know how to fix it.
I downloaded some freeware that changed a number of browsing options (default browser, added Bing bar without my full knowledge, etc.). Got that all removed but then Firefox wasn't working well, so I had to uninstall/reinstall the program. Now my thumbnails are gone and I can neither get them back nor create new ones.
Help!
Cheers, Dolly

MOST EXCELLENT. Not only did this work, but I was able to do it all very easily AND it brought back all my previously set up thumbnails in the order I had them arranged on the new tab pages! Wonderful.
I will definitely keep these instructions for future reference, but I had already gone in and deleted all apps and extensions that I did not recognize as from Firefox or that I hadn't added myself. So I'm pretty sure I got rid of the pesky malware that caused the problem already. Great links for that task however.
Thank you SO much!!
Cheers, Dolly

    "Not typical behavior". I think not. I am yet another person this happened to. Even if I can get them back, you've just wasted an hour or two of my time. I won't be using firefox again after I've recovered my bookmarks. If I recover them. Thanks for nothing.

  • HT5278 I have lost all of the songs I had on my iphone 4s how do I get them back.

    I have lost all my songs that i had on my iphone can i get them back?

    Assuming they are in your iTunes library, sync them back to your phone.  If they aren't, you can redownload any music purchased from the iTunes store for free (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519), but you will have to re-import music from other sources to your iTunes library then sync it back to your phone.

  • I recently had to reinstall the factory settings on my laptop and lost all songs in itunes but they'e on my phone. how do i get them back on my phone its so frustrating.

    Previously I could drag and drop my songs from desktop to folder, I had to get iTunes 10.4 could that be the cause of my frustrating attempts to get my songs back to iTunes library?
    i am also unable to see previously dowmloaded application in itunes. If i select manage songs manually would that require syncing of the two and therefore losing the songs on my phone?

    I am assuming you never backed up your computer.
    Sounds like you still may have problems with your PC.

    Why did you restore without transferring your music to your computer?
    If you are in the U.S., then you can use the newly released beta version of the cloud to get your music.

  • The X close button doesn't show on Tabs in 3.6.3. How do I get them back?

    The X close button stopped showing on Tabs when I upgraded to version 3.6.3. How do I get them back?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == latest version 3.6.3 downloaded on May 28th - 29th..

    I had the home page set to "about:blank" when I noticed that the x was missing. I then clicked on "Restore to Default", restarted and then selected "Show a blank page" - Restarted again and this time it worked, except that there is no x when there is only one tab. As soon as a second tab opens, an x suddenly appears on all the tabs. Keep in mind that I also updated the Walnut theme and all other add-ons. Not entirely happy with this niggle, but I can live with it. Version 3.6.3 is faster and that makes up for it.

  • I cant find all my documents since the update it is totally different how do I get them back?

    Since my Adobe Reader updated I can't find some of my documents. It was so easy before "recent documents" were ones I had just downloaded then I  could go to "all documents " where I could rename them. This is all done on my android phone as I don't have my computer at the moment.  My question is "how do I get them back to the way it was or how do I retrieve my documents?

    I have the same question. I have hundreds of downloads in my tablet and now can't work with them. They  keep duplicating and this cloud thing won't let me delete or edit them without paying afee. I just want to open and read what I already have downloaded. I have hundreds of hours of time in my downloads and now they are worthless. If I delete DC and go back to old version will I lose all my
    Doewnloads?

  • When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time I lost all of my music and my ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them back?

    When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time i lost all my music and ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them again, or will I have to buy them again.

    Download the free app My Contacts Backup and use it to back up the contacts on your device now (it will back them up as an attachment to an email that you send to yourself).  Then restore your device to your most recent backup to see if it will recover your contacts.  If not, if necessary you can open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts you have now back to your device.
    If you need to restore to an iCloud backup this has to be done in the initial setup process, which requires you to first erase your device.  If you have any more recent data on your device now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens on your device, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • HT4528 I lost all my contacts and info on my IPHONE is there any way i get them back

    I lost all the info on my IPHONE can i get them back.

    If you had the information backed up, as is recommended, it's fairly easy to get them back on your phone.  If you back up to icloud just go to Settings>General>Reset and Reset all settings.  Restore from a previous iCloud backup.
    If you used iTunes, connect the phone to the computer and restore.  When it prompts you to set up as new or restore from backup, choose to restore from backup, choose your backup, and you should be good to go.
    If it was backed up in neither of those places, it's probably gone.  But you can try iTunes sync, and possibly contact your carrier.  I know my carrier was able to get most of my contacts back from a database that they use.  But I don't if all carriers use those or not.
    Good luck!
