Tabs on top don't show previously visted sites when clicked, take you to a search bar instead

Previously (yesterday) when I selected a blank tab at the top of the home page, it displayed a 3x3 grid of sites I had been on and all I did was click on one, and FF would take me there. Now when I select a blank tab, I get a full screen google search bar. How do I get the old function back?

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
