New Tab issues. Added new row of tiles and won't stop adding new pages links to it.
So, i got this issue today. Not sure why, but from now on my "new tab" feature would not hold on a tiles i locked for myself. So here is a thing. I had my "new tab" with 8 tiles (4 tiles in row; 2 rows), locked them and it was all fine for me. But today firefox added another row, for some unknown reasons, and so i have this scrolling bar added aswell, as a 3rd row just dont fit in my screen and just goes over the borded. When i remove all links in that 3rd row of tiles and open new tab - it come back to normal shape, but when i open any page and then new tab - it will pop up again and again and again, over and over again. And i just can't figure it out, why the hell did this happened!? And how to fix it. On the support pages about "new tab" there's only general information on how to lock or move tiles, but not a single info on how to manage their number, how many there will be on a screen or in a row, how many rows etc. So here is a question. How can i change it back so i would have a FIXED 2 rows of 4 tiles in each displayed on my "New Tab" thingy without any other stuff added to it.
P.S. It seems that 1 hour is not enough to upload 200Kb image in here... so i'll post this question without one.

Hi, here is some info on the New Tab settings -
You can change the number of tiles on the New Tab page by zooming in or out (Ctrl and + key, or Ctrl and - key).
You may also want to keep the same zoom setting when clicking on a new tab: Type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down to browser.newtab.preload and double click on it to change 'Value' from True to False.
It is also possible in about:config to change the maximum number of tiles, by scrolling down to browser.newtabpage.columns (or .rows), then right click > Modify, to set a new number in 'Value.' More - Configuration Editor for Firefox.
As an alternative, you may like to try the add-on New Tab Tools. ____________________________________________________________________________
Incidentally, you have several versions of Shockwave Flash - the old ones should be removed.

Hello. Yes, i know about the scroll feature and i tried to used it if there was anything to do about it, but it didnt helped, there still were 3 rows. But that column/rows option actually helped me. I totaly forgot about it. ANd it seems that for me it changed its value from 2 back to 3 (default value i believe) for some reason. Changed it back now and it worked just fine. Thank you very much for your help
