On Quantum (Firefox 57) I'm getting the old firefox newpage, not the new one?
So I've downloaded Quantum Beta, and I really liked and enjoyed the new newpage layout, but for some reason now it's gone? How do I get it back? It's the old newpage layout now, and I really liked the first one.

Could you check this preference:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste newt and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.enabled preference to switch the value from false to true
Does that work?
Because Firefox 57 is very nearly but not quite final, the value of this preference might change before release.

Yes thank you, that did the trick @jscher2000!
