New tab page has changed in firefox 33

Instead of 9 pinned sites shown, I now have 8 unpinned sites, and had to delete and add the correct ones and repin them. Why did this happen and why am I the only person in the entire world who is asking any questions about it?

You can adjust the number of thumbnails shown using zoom (hold Ctrl and tap the - key a couple of times).
But some users are finding that Firefox does not remember the preferred zoom level for this page, even though it remember it for other pages. In that case, unfortunately, the only known workaround at the moment is to use an add-on such as the one suggested by codygotkilld.
You also can use a custom style rule if you already use the Stylish extension. For example, I posted one here: https://userstyles.org/styles/106326/shrink-new-tab-thumbnails

  • Annoying changes in the new tab page of Firefox 31

    I just upgraded to Firefox 31 and I've detected two annoying changes in the new tab page.
    First, the new search box, I don't need it at all because I use search engines with keywords in the address bar and I'd like to know how to remove it.
    Second, I had configured the new tab page to display 42 thumbnails (6 columns and 7 rows) and now it only shows 8 thumbnails. In the about:config the settings are still as I had them but only 8 thumbnails are shown no matter what number is set.
    Can anyone tell me how to solve these problems without downgrading?

    You may also want to suppress the large margin at the top.
    Note tha the his code should be in <u>userContent.css</u> and not in userChrome.css
    <pre><nowiki>/* about:newtab */
    @-moz-document url(about:newtab){
    #newtab-margin-top {display:none!important}
    #newtab-search-container {display:none!important}
    }</nowiki></pre>
    The customization files userContent.css (websites) and userChrome.css (user interface) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
    * Create the <b>chrome</b> folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
    * Paste the code in the userContent.css file

  • I want to change the new tab page - it currently is a list of recent site - i share the computer and find this annoying. would like all tab pages to be same as start page

    i want my new tab pages to look the same as my starter page.

    Firefox by default uses a blank page for a new tab. Something you installed has changed that action to what you are complaining about. You need to figure out which add-on made that change and disable that add-on or change the preference in that add-on.

  • 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

  • When accessing favorites imported from IE8, duplicate links appear for those bookmarks on Google new tab page, while things I have bookmarked in Firefox appear normally, as a single link.

    For several months now, I have had this issue. I'm not sure if this is an issue with Google Toolbar or Firefox, but I have uninstalled and re-installed the toolbar several times, and the same thing keeps happening when I access anything Imported from IE8. Anything I originally bookmark in Firefox appears as a single link on the Google new tab page, while my favorites from IE8 appears twice. Everything appears as normal in the Firefox Bookmarks menu. This doesn't seem to affect functionality in any way, but it is rather irritating at times. Is it possible it could be a bug in IE8? I'm curious to see if anyone knows of a solution to this issue. Any help or input is greatly appreciated. Has anyone else had this happen? I have the latest versions of Google Toolbar and Firefox, so far as I'm aware. Thanks, once again, for your time and input.

    Thanks to jscher! With some help from AVG my AVG & Google browser panels now work OK. But I've taken the advice & disabled several extensions including the Disconnect. The browsers are still OK after re-launching them so I keep fingers crossed.
    My original problem was that I had suddenly found a small popup window appearing, over the browser window, that I couldn't get rid of. It contained an advisory to the effect that Windows couldn't find the file popuptransparent[dot]xul. I tried searching for that to see what it was and in the course of doing that I seem to have executed it. Then was when the trouble started.
    I have 3 instances of that file in my computer and would dearly like to get rid of them if they are of no use to me. Any advice there?

  • 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 <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

  • How do you change the New Tab page?

    After Yahoo Toolbar stowaway-ed onto my computer, it changed my new tab page to Yahoo search, and I can't change it back.

    The default Firefox installation shows a blank page when you open a new Tab, something you installed in Firefox changed that action. You need to figure out what you installed that changed that action to showing yahoo.com and disable that addon.

  • How do I prevent the new tab page resetting to default (blank) every time I restart Firefox?

    I have used about:config to set the new tab page to the Firefox start page (value = about:home) and clicked OK. But every time I shut down Firefox it resets itself to a blank newtab page.

    '''browser.newtab.url''' change the value here

  • Firefox 13 beta: problems with new-tab page

    I'm using Firefox 13 beta. The new-tab page is an awesome feature, but it does not work well.
    When i'm visiting sites it does not changes. It still like this: http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/2474/56130e74e4b842268628eba.png
    If I restart Firefox, the new-tab page will have some sites, but with no thumbnails, like this: http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/8289/74eadf18095b43a39696159.png

  • 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.

  • I have installed Firefox 4 but the "New Tab" button has disappeared. I have searched toolbars etc. but can't see it. Any ideas, please?

    My "New Tab" button has disappeared off the toolbar. I have searched the toolbar menus and "Customise Toolbar" but it's just not there. Back, Forward, Stop and Reload buttons are all there.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.<br />
    *If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"<br />
    *If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar<br />
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • 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.

  • How can I change the search engine in the new tab page?

    When I click on the + to open a new tab, I get the new tab page, which displays the previous sites I visit the most. No problem. But in the search window, if I do a search it uses Yahoo. I don't like Yahoo. I would like to change to another search engine, you know, one that's more obscure such as Google. Can anyone help me?

    Look at the search bar. Do you see the icon of the current search engine?
    Click the arrow next to the icon. you should now see a list of your search
    engines. At the bottom, select '''Manage Search Engines.''' Now a window
    will open of all your engines. Select the one you want as your default. On
    the right of the list you will see a set of up/down arrows. Click the up arrow
    until the engine you want is at the top of the list. Then press '''Okay.'''
    Once the window is closed, your choice should now be displayed in the
    search bar.
