New Tab page tiles has only top row of four not the usual two rows of four, and they are hidden behind one another. Have tried all the recommends that i've been able to find. Uninstalled and re-loaded entire firefox; refreshed firefox; about:config to re-start default New Tab page cleared the tiles on the top row but did not re-apply blank tiles for both rows of four, and the stacking behind has remains; cleared History and functionality for the tiles has returned sort of, but still only the top row of tiles appears.

You can zoom out the about:newtab page to see more tiles. Make sure that you have only one tab with the about:newtab page open. You can toggle browser.newtab.preload to false on the about:config page if you do not keep the zoom setting.

You may previously had an extension to set the number of tiles if you have reset/refresh Firefox.

use system restore and don't clean your keyboard when your pc is on
