Hi,

Another bad change for me after last update. When I click on the NEW Tab I don't see the icons or tiles of my most used websites anymore . Only the top search bar and a down menu with the 10 most used websites. Where did the tiles go?

The article Customize your New Tab page to hide or display content doesn't work . I cannot get into settings to change anything. Is there another solution???? I would like my tiles back.

Thank you,

Amy

Yes, that's the same now, at least on Windows 10.

You can check your new tab setting to make sure it still indicates "Firefox Home" to get the traditional page with the search box, shortcuts, etc. (pictured below). Or were you using a speed dial add-on for your new tab page?

Hi jscher2000

Your picture did not load. I was using the picture attached below. Like in your article Customize your New Tab page.

Hi jscher2000

I have windows 7. Never mind. I turned Firefox off and turned it on again and the fixed the bug. My tiles are back. 

I was freaking out because I could not even get into the settings anymore that is why I decided to turn Firefox it off and back  on

I can breathe now. I least one of my problems is solved.

Thank you for your help!!!!!!
