i usually use firefox in fullscreen, so i overuse the 12 slots from newtab and the address bar history.

i'd like to be able to set bookmarks folders in newtab thumbnails, maybe by expanding content above first thumbnails (with a <- back button). that'd allow more organization/efficiency to my browsing.

like what you've done so far, good job!

edit: probably the wrong place for a suggestion, sorry :)

Hi, folders on the New Tab is not currently available, but you can increase the number of thumbnails; type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down the alphabetical list to browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSiteCount then right click > Modify to change the number to e.g. 18. Now restart Firefox.

Note that you can use the bookmarks sidebar for easier access to the bookmarks in full screen mode.

You can add this code to userChrome.css to have the Bookmarks Toolbar visible in Full Screen mode.

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#main-window[inFullscreen] #PersonalToolbar[collapsed="false"]{visibility: visible !important; max-height: unset !important;}


You need to create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist.

  • use a plain text editor to create/edit a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
  • paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
