I am using version 64.0 of Firefox.

My W10 pc did some sort of update and after restarting I had lost all my customisation of Firefox. I used to have 2 rows of top sites with five top sites on each.

Customising the number of top sites to spread across the rows was previously done via 'about:config' and by changing the number listed after 'browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesCount'

However, 'browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesCount' isn't in the list anymore.

How can I now customise the number of top sites to be listed?

You can only set the number of rows that Firefox shows. How many tiles actually appear is determined by the screen width.

There is still migrator code that calculates the number of rows from the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesCount pref.

Well you used to be able to change it via the about:config page. I guess they have removed this tweak :-(

There are currently only browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.section.*rows (tab*rows) prefs for a few sections.

  • browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.section.highlights.rows
  • browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.section.topstories.rows
  • browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesRows
