My new tab page displays only an empty grid. Missing thumbnails -and- sites. I -think- my settings are correct. Please advise.

What are the settings for clearing history when Firefox closes?
Make sure that you do not clear the Browsing Cache as that will remove the thumbnails that are stored in it.

Uncontrolled tab openings? Can't see a pattern. Allowed to run once, but stopped with 80+ new tabs/pages. Only stop by closing down my FireFox[ver 3.6.13] and starting over. Searched here uncontrolled tab openings but nothing found. Thank you.

Happens when seeking to forward something, email something etc. Then it is just one additional tab after another, until I select right top corner to close FireFox.

How do i add a site to New Tab page without making it a bookmark first?

''locking a a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1039823''
presently, to add to my New Tab page:
0 = bookmark the page
1 = then drag fhe star to an empty rectangle on the New Tab page
i want just to drag or type it in without having to first bookmark it. please advise.

You can drag an history item as well (e.g. from the history sidebar), so yuo do not need to bookmark a website.

New Tab Page - thumbnails are not using the files from cache folder, but they want a connection to their origin website.

Hi there,
each time I visit a website, FireFox saves a thumbnail of all these sites for the "New Tab Page". Those thumbnails are cached in the 'thumbnails' Folder . That's so far ok for me.
The problem is:
Every time if I use the "New Tab Page" (...after shutdown & reopening the browser and only with 'mousehoover' on any thumbnail) all the thumbnails on that page don't use the cached thumbnails from the local profile folder.
This means:
Instead of using the cached thumbnail-files all(!) these thumbnails dials to their origin websites without(!) a mouseclick on any of these thumbnails (...see jpg pictures) !
I'm using the "Clear history when Firefox closes" with the following options:
privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.downloads - false
privacy.clearOnShutdown.formdata - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.history - false(!)
privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps - false
privacy.clearOnShutdown.passwords - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.siteSettings - false(!)
So, i can't believe that this homedialing of pinned and unpinned thumbnails should be a normal function.
1. Screenshot: thumbnails in the New Tab Page
2. Screenshot: the same thumbnails in the Cache Folder "thumbnails" (...also they are there after shutdown of Firefox)
3. Screenshot: Dialing to the origin websites (...after restart of Firefox)
The Browser Version is Firefox ESR 31.2.0 and in the installation are no Add-ons, which are - for example - prefetching linked websites.
I would like to use the "New Tab Page" without 'homedialing', so the question is:
How can I force the thumbnails to use the cached thumbnail-files ?
or
How can i disable the 'loading of content from their origin websites' already on mousehoover ?

There is a preload pref available that you could try to disable on the about:config page.
*browser.newtab.preload = false
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.

New tab page

I just downloaded and installed the new Firefox Beta (I think it is versioned 13.0). One reason I decided to try it was the new tab page feature mentioned in the email that I received. It said that this new tab page feature had been added that shows thumbnails with recently visited web sites. I have been using the New Tab Jumpstart add-on to get this type of functionality. It would nice to get the same functionality built-in. I cannot find this new tab page feature since I installed the new beta. I even disabled the jumpstart add-on to see if that would make it work. How do I get this new tab page functionality to work in the new beta?

The about:newtab page has a button with an 9 squares icon in the top right corner to show or hide that page.

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.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Preview Thumbnails on New Tab page empty only for certain URLs

When I open a new tab, there are three certain preview thumbnails which are always empty, and there is no way I can make them show up again. They did work in the beginning, but at some time the three previews vanished and never came back.
I have already tried to empy the cache and reload the sites as suggested here, but the thumbs are still empty. It's always the same three URLs where this happens. I have also cleared the history, opened the sites again and dragged the items from the history menu into a thumbnail - same result.

The pages may be send by the server with a no-cache or no-store header preventing Firefox to store that pages in the cache. 
Firefox will only generate thumbnails if the page is in the cache.
*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).
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756881 bug 756881] - New tab thumbnails not displayed (or old images displayed) for Facebook, Twitter (sites using Cache-Control no-store)

My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all?

My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all?
I know how to use about:config & have had the usual problems with newtab page tiles but this is more like a bug- using 33.0.1. Doesn't show tiles icon in top right corner just shows a gear that is used to hide the empty tiles that I can't fill with sites. First it would only show 2 rows of 4 columns even though I had it set to 5 & 6 then few days later for no reason they went empty with a serrated line around the tiles & can't drag from the bookmarks---- really bloody annoying!!!!!!! Possibly a setting in the about:config but i can't fig it out?

New tab page only shows icons when I open a new window, not when I open additional tabs within existing window. Help!

When I click the + sign to open a new blank tab, I don't see any of my favorite / pinned websites. I can only see this when I start a new browser window, and only for the "landing page". Once I go to any other page, I can not get my new tab page with tabs to display.

I fixed it. I went into about:config and had to change browser.newtab.url to about:newtab
Thanks though! Marking as solved, have a great day

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)
See also this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

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:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/
You can also see '''jscher2000''''s Chosen Solution here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025414
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:
* https://userstyles.org/styles/106326/shrink-new-tab-thumbnails

Sir, i set the speed dial in home page,but when i open the new tab its show only the blank page,can you say the ways to show the speed dials whenever i open tab

plz say the way to set the speed dials which i set in home page whenever i open the new tab instead of blank page

Make sure the new tab feature is enabled:
* On the address bar, go to '''about:config''' (Just be careful)
* Set '''browser.newtabpage.enabled''' to '''true'''
To set the homepage to show the new tab page:
* Go to Firefox Menu > Preferences > General
* Set '''When Firefox starts''' to '''Show my Home page'''
* Set '''Home Page''' to '''about:newtab'''
So that a new tab opens the new tab page
* On the address bar, go to '''about:config''' (Just be careful)
* Set '''browser.newtab.url''' to '''about:newtab'''

Is it possible to have the new tab page appear by default when Firefox starts?

Can Firefox be set to display the new tab page when starting the browser? In Options > General, the only choices under "When Firefox starts" is show the home page, a blank tab, or restore previous session.
Alternately, can the new tab page be set as the home page?

You can add "about:newtab" to the Firefox shortcut on the desktop.

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
http://i.imgur.com/TWmAU.png --- Here's a image of what I see (to clear up any confusion)

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.

Add fields into a new tab page

Hi!
   I am in cProject 4.0 and there is a functionality to add new tab pages with fields in cProject components. The IMG activity is Collaboration Projects -> Global Enhancements to Project Elements -> Show Additional Tab Page in cProjects.
   The help for this activity specified that I only need customized it to works as well. It does not specified if I have to develop some extra BSP or webdynpro to work. I tried to put a new field in a new tab page in Project Definition, but only the new tab was showed. The new tab is empty.
   I know that in cProject 3.0 it was necessary a BSP development. Is it necessary develop a BSP in 4.0 too?
Regards,
Rafael Soares

Hi Vivek, how are you ?
I hope that you can clarify my doubts !
I created my own Web Dynpro Aplication and assigned it in the customizing from cProjects.
My aplication use fields the others tables (Z) and fields from table DPR_PROJECT (enhance CI_DPR_PROJECT). So, the logic to read and write my Z tables is working, but my problem is How Can I update the fields from CI_DPR_PROJECT structure ?
I imagine that I need to read the container from UI standard, but until the moment I can't resgate these values. In customizing is that if I use the fields from CI_DPR_PROJECT the update will be automatically.
Thank you very much,
Milena

My new tab page displays only an empty grid. Missing thumbnails -and- sites. I -think- my settings are correct. Please advise.
