How do I make the frequently visited tiles/new tab page stay 3x4 and not 2x3 by default?
When I open a new tab, I have it set up to show the tiles for my frequently visited sites. I always have to COMMAND+MINUS(-) twice to get the 2x3 grid of tiles to be a 3x4 grid, which shows all the sites I've pinned as tiles.
Somehow, this 3x4 set-up has been remembered for the first two tabs I open, but every tab I open afterwards goes back to 2x3. Sometimes another random tile, say if I close one of those first two and then reopen one in the same session, it might be 3x4. But this setting isn't consistent like it was before the large update that affected the tiles.

You need to zoom out the about:newtab page if you want more tiles to fit on it. Current Firefox version adjust the number of rows and columns automatically.
You can also look at this extension:
- New Tab Tools: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/
Zooming out works, but doesn't save it as a preference for every new tab I open. It only works for the tab I have open at that moment when I zoom.
That add-on looks pretty cool, I may try that out. Looks way more customizable than the default.
You can try to set the browser.newtab.preload pref to false on the about:config page to see if that has effect on the zooming.
