How can I resize the shortcut icons??
With version 89 the new interface looks horid and the shortcuts are only 1/2 the size of the boxes they are in. How can I roll back to the v88 look, or resize the icons to fit the new layout better??

You can roll back that change to Top Sites tiles using a preference, but I don't know how long we'll have this option (appears to be removed in Firefox 94 beta):
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste newNew and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newNewtabExperience.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false
More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox.
Otherwise, you could use zoom, or consider modifications in a userContent.css file (but that's a big topic, so probably another time).

You can add code to the userContent.css file.
- userContent.css is for styling webpages
- userChrome.css is for styling the user interface
@-moz-document url-prefix(about:home), url-prefix(about:newtab) {
.top-site-outer .tile .icon-wrapper {height:100% !important; width:100% !important;}
}It is not that difficult to create userContent.css if you have never used it.
The first step is to open the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" page and find the button to access the profile folder.
You can find this button under the "Application Basics" section as "Profile Folder -> Open Folder". If you click this button then you open the profile folder in the Windows File Explorer. You need to create a folder with the name chrome in this folder (name is all lowercase). In the chrome folder you need to create a plain text file with the name userContent.css (name is case sensitive). In this userContent.css text file you paste the text posted. On Mac you can use the TextEdit utility to create the userContent.css file as a plain text file.
In Windows saving the file is usually the only time things get more complicated because Windows can silently add a .txt file extension and you end up with a file named userContent.css.txt. To avoid this you need to make sure to select "All files" in the dialog to save the file in the text editor using "Save File as".
You need to close (Quit/Exit) and restart Firefox when you create or modify the userContent.css file.

In Firefox 69 and later you need to set this pref to true on the about:config page to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in the chrome folder.
