Address bar list of previously visited sites has shrunk

The list of previously visited sites in firefox windows seems to have shrunk in some recent update of firefox. Now, when I click the address bar I only get 5 options, the first being search with google and the remaining 4 being previously visited sites. Used to be that list was much longer. Is there a way to customize this, or revert it back to where it contains 10+ items?

It's set to 20, and it works, the issue is I would like to immediately have my previously visited sites show up before I even start typing. Right now, it shows 4 rows of sites before I type anything and I seem to recall it used to show more than that. In any case, I found an extension that does what I need, "Show History Frequent Sites Button" so I will mark this as solved.

This is strange. Enter about:config in the address bar and check the value of browser.urlbar.maxRichResults.

When you click in the address bar, before you begin typing anything, Firefox usually shows the first 8-10 shortcuts from your Firefox Home / new tab page. To update/curate that list, see: Customize items on your Firefox New Tab page.

But if you prefer my add-on, that's cool, too. ;-)
