New tab page shows tiled and poorly sized thumbnails

Just upgraded from 12 to 13, new tab page looks awful. Most of the images show tiled versions of the webpages, with about 1.8 copies of each page horizontally and 1.5 vertically in each image.

Hiya! First Off: I Love Your Work! Firefox is great and thank you for giving it to us :)
I'm having the same problem listed above. Disabling hardware accelaration did not fix it. I'm on Firefox 13, Linux - Beefy Miracle. I'm including a screenshot.
Any suggestions?
oh, quick side note: Window's users get a cool orange Firefox badge to the left of the tabs... linux users just get a plain text Firefox link. Can't wait to get the attractive aesthetics made available to windows' users!

  • 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?

  • New tab page shows multiple sites from the same domain

    For example in the grid of sites it may show multiple pages from e.g. stackoverflow.com instead of just the single base domain stackoverflow.com (or alternatively the most used of the pages). Is there any way to limit each domain to a single page in the quick links tableau? In my opinion having multiple pages is not at all a navigational aid as sites generally provide their own internal navigation.

    This allows you to group the tabs as well [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/new-tab-plus/ New Tab Plus] however it is preliminary.

  • The new tab page is showing Gmail inbox pages, meaning anyone can start a new tab and get access to my email. How do I stop this?

    When I open a new tab, within the pages brought up is my gmail inbox. This mean anyone can have access to my inbox without logging in, without my password. How do I restrict this access?

    If you log out of Gmail, then clicking the thumbnail should take you to a login page. If you don't log out, then anyone can access your email just by typing gmail.com in the URL bar. But you're right that the picture does create a temptation to click...
    You can set the new tab page back to blank if you prefer. However, please note that the page thumbnails are stored in the browser cache, so you also need to clear your cache to flush out existing thumbnails if you don't want anyone to be able to see them.

  • 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 get a new tab to show my top sites page instead of going to a search engine?

    Every time I go to open a new tab it did show me my top sites but now it doesn't and I want it restore that. how do I do it?

    See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
    You can reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • What are the shortcut keys for new tab page?

    It looks like the new tab page (Firefox 13, with the
    screenshots of your popular pages in it) is a mouse-only
    feature.
    Is this correct? What are the shortcut keys to access
    the links on the page?
    thanks,

    Hi,
    As of now there aren't (most likely) keyboard shortcuts. Please also see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites this] for working with the new tab page.

  • Firefox 13's new tab page appears blank, just like in older versions. Why?

    After my beta install upgraded from 12 to 13 yesterday, the new tab page was working as advertised. When I started my computer today, however, the new tab page appeared blank, just as it did in older versions of Firefox. What happened? Any idea how to fix it?

    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 be rendered as a PNG image then you will get an empty box.<br />
    Do not use Clear Recent History to clear data when you close Firefox.<br />

  • How do I turn the new tab page off?

    I followed the 'New tab page - show, hide...' answer and I can change the information in the box to 'about:blank' . But when I click 'OK' the contents of the 'value' field in the 'browser.newtab.url' remains the same. In other words it didn't change it to what I entered. Why??

    An unwanted add-on is probably hijacking your new tab page.

  • 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 <b>about:config</b> page.
    *browser.newtab.preload = false
    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.
