New tabs page looks broken

After upgrading Firefox, the new feature New Tab page never looked correct. Not sure what could be the problem, but it bugs me.

*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 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 />
If there is no history then you get an about:newtab page with empty boxes.<br />

How to make new tab page look like FF 32?

How do I get the new tab page to use smaller tiles consolidated in the middle of the screen like they appeared before updating to FF 33?
I find if much easier to work with the more compact placement of tiles. I understand that some users prefer larger thumbnails and find the scaled tiles to be beneficial, however, I find the older, more compact arrangement to work with.
I already use the Classic Theme Restorer plug-in to get rid of the Australius UI "enhancements," as I find them distracting and inconsistent with my overall system configuration. In general, I like my UI to be compact, and usually prefer corners to the rounded elements that are becoming increasingly common design elements.

Unfortunately, I don't think that there is an add-on that does specifically what you want. 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:

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:

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!

New Tab Page is... broken?

The image previews for my tops sites are.... ugly. And I mean really, really ugly. Terrible. Absolutely disgusting. The resolution is horrendous, it looks like they're pictures taken with a potato. I recently updated to the latest version of Aurora on my work PC and was thrilled to see the new tab page in action and was excited to update on my home PC as well, but when I did.... So blurry. So very blurry.

Well, keep in mind that Aurora is more oriented towards developers, software testers and early adopters. You will experience some bugs with it.
You might want to download the latest Firefox Nightly at nightly.mozilla.org, then test using Nightly to see if your issue has been fixed. If it hasn't, you can file a bug on it at bugzilla.mozilla.org, assuming you're comfortable filing bugs.

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?

Reset Firefox to its default state

You can change a preference to make tabs open
# at the end of all open tabs
# immediately after the current tab.
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
*Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
*If you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful).
*Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
*Look at the "Value" column ('''false'''=open at end, '''true'''=open after current tab); Value = true is the default.
*Double-click that preference to toggle the value from true to false, or false to true
*Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)

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.

My new tab page disappeared how do i get it back?

My new tab page disappeared. How do i get it back? When i click on "new tab +", i get a search screen that looks similar to google search page.

this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a scan of your system with [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].
[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
afterwards install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

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.

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,
Patrick

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.

New Tab Page Hijacked IE11

Hello!
I have been searching forever and I cannot find an answer. My New Tab page for IE 11 has been hijacked by www-search.info. I have ran malwarebytes etc. I've cleaned the machine thoroughly: it's just this one thing. I cannot find out how to fix it. There
has GOT to be a regedit option. I have gone all through it but I just can't find it.
Can someone please help me. What should I be looking for? Where in regedit do I change the new tab page settings? I know about New Tab settings in internet options, I don't need that. This is something on the base/behind the scenes malware issue. I have
introductory level IT troubleshooting skills, in case that helps.

How do I get back the "old" new tab page with 9 tiles instead of 8?

I find the 8/12 tiles (If pressed Ctrl+scrollwheel down) annoying, is there any way the get the classic "new tab" page with 9 tiles back?
Ps I already tried changing the number of colums (5 to 3) about:config / browser.newtabpage.colums I got 9 tiles but it looks awful

Thanks for that.
But how do I get it back as it was..... before they messed it up?
I don't want smaller text.
And, as I said in my first post, NewTabTools deletes the Google Search Frame. (which i want)
I just want my 9 tiles (at least) with the Google search form...'''.as it was'''.

I would like to delete a google pref cookie that re-establishes itself instantly even when I am on a blank new tab that looks like this: PREF ID=eb1514ca52c9d

I would like to delete a google pref cookie that re-establishes itself instantly even when I am on a blank new tab-- it looks like this:
name: PREF
content: ID=eb1514ca52c9d753:TM=1403658310:LM=1403658310:S=CQKzVsy8LHiPFFmX
domain: .google.com
path: /
send for: Any type of connection
it might be helpful just to know what it's doing, since I don't have any google/gmail/youtube accounts...

What page are you using for your new tab page? Is it completely blank or is it the page with the thumbnails, but with the thumbnails hidden (in that case, there usually is a grid-like icon on the upper right side of the page)?
You can check the current setting here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page if it isn't what you want:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
But... extensions can override this setting. If you are getting a page other than the one you specified, that could be explanation.
Any luck?

Go back to new tab page after clicking a link

In Firefox 14 (Beta), after discovering New Tab Tools I decided to ditch Speed Dial and use the default new tab page. Didn't miss anything.
Yesterday, I upgraded to the FF15 beta and now when I click a link on the new tab page I can't go back to it. I need to open a new tab to go back to it, instead of being able to view a page, go back, and view another page. I tried looking in the about:config to see anything that could look remotely like an option to keep the new tab page in the back history, but I found nothing. Any way to fix this?
I also checked on Firefox UX, and it as that "feature" too. So it's not an add-ons problem, but instead a regression in Firefox.

I don't see a solution here, am I missing something?
I have this problem and would like to find the fix.
Thanks

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.
