When Firefox first starts up, I have my homepage set to about:newtab. When it loads, it loads a blank page. However, when I click new tab, a page with all my frequently visited sites shows up.

I want the freq visited site tiles to show up on my homepage. Is this possible?

Hi, please go to Options (cog wheel) - in the 3-bar menu unless you've moved it. Then in the General tab, make sure that 'When Firefox starts' is set to 'Show my home page.' Also make sure that 'Home Page' is set to about:newtab Then restart Firefox.

Hope that helps.
