Firefox Home Page (default) - Top Sites customize issue.
Just recently got firefox, so I am a newbie. For the Top Sites widget, I am able to paste image URL on to the "Custom Image URL" tab. Preview of the image looks great but once I click save, It is nowhere to be seen. Only an empty box as if I have not added any image. I have no clue how to go about this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps you have to restart the browser.
Thanks, I gave that a go but no luck.
Hi, try this: Click the 3 dots at the top right of the thumbnail again, then Edit (but don't change anything), then Save again. That has worked for me many times after getting a blank thumbnail. However there is unfortunately the occasional site that just refuses to work. The only option then is to try using the URL from a different part of the same site for the image.
Hey Scribe, thanks for the advice, tried your method out but unfortunately to no avail. Even input a bunch of different image URL - same story, preview looks nice but empty thumbnail after that.
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 or userChrome.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
