There are six tiles in new tab now. They are too big and six is too little.

There are six tiles in new tab now. They are too big and six is too little.

Chosen solution

Zoom out using { Ctrl plus - } [that's the minus key] to see additional rows of tiles.

Many of us use New Tab Tools extension to control the rows ans columns which appear on the new tab page. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/

Hello supilot, did you have tried to upgrade your browser for the new version of Firefox? Please visit https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-versionUpdate Firefox to the latest release My updated browser ver 41.0 automatically shortens the Tabs as I open more ones. Hope that tip can help you, Regards, Jose.Freire

Hi Jose, my Firefox is 41 too. But I asked about the tiles in new tab page, not of tabs.

The default options don't seem to allow resizing yet, but if you're feeling adventurous, about:config is the place and browser.newtabpage is the thing you'll want to look for. Happy experimenting!

No, options browser.newtabpage.columns and browser.newtabpage.rows not working.

Did you restart your browser after making changes in about:config? Because I don't think you restarted your browser after making changes in about:config, as those settings definitely work; see attached screenshots.
