I get a blank page when I open a new tab and would lie to have the thumbnails back - HOW?
Firefox ver. 16.0.2 Win 7
I have tried the suggestions I find on the web. Your support page says: "The Firefox New Tab page shows pictures of the sites you visit frequently. Sometimes, some or all of these images are not displayed. We'll explain why that happens and how to get them back when it's possible." No I don't get any pictures at all when I open a new tab - It's blank, but I click on the following link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thumbnails-on-new-tab-page-are-missing I click on the link to follow instructions and end up here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites I click on this link: "The images of my top sites are gone - how do I get them back?" and end up here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites#w_the-images-of-my-top-sites-are-gone-how-do-i-get-them-back and end up here: See The thumbnails on the new tab page are missing - how to get them back. I click on the link for information and end up..... were I started.
So - Could someone be nice and explain how I get the thumbnails back?! Because I refuse to use IE, but considering Opera..... Please advice!

I associate Conduit with various "Community Toolbar" add-ons. Do you have such a toolbar? You might be able to configure or disable it here:
orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category

You can change this in Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter the desired value:
(i) Page thumbnails (default)
about:newtab
(ii) Blank tab
about:blank
(iii) Built-in Firefox home page
about:home
(iv) Any other page
full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
