Sometimes, pictures of the sites on the Firefox New Tab page are not displayed. We'll explain why that happens and how to get them back when it's possible.

The [[New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites|Firefox New Tab page]] shows pictures of the sites you visit frequently. Sometimes, some or all of these images are not displayed. We'll explain why that happens and how to get them back when it's possible. {warning}'''Important:''' If your New Tab page has been unexpectedly changed to display a website, see [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].{/warning} {for not fx33} =Toggle the images back on= There is a small grid button in the upper-right corner of the page that toggles the images on and off. You may just need to click it to turn them on. ;[[Image:show new tab page]] {/for} {for fx33} =Turn on the New Tab page= To turn on the New Tab page, click on the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the page and choose {menu Enhanced} or {menu Classic} from the menu. ;{for win}[[Image:newtabpage_enhancedorclassic_win]]{/for}{for mac}[[Image:newtabpage_enhancedorclassic]]{/for} {/for} =Make Firefox create new images for the New Tab page= ''The images will get re-stored as you use the New Tab page to go to those websites again.'' #Open the New Tab page by clicking the {button +} button on the tab strip. #Left-click on one of the blank images to open the corresponding website. <!-- Check: After re-phrasing this, the next two sentences are no longer required: Click on one of the blank images to go to a website. Note, that it works only for left-click, opening in new tab doesn't do the trick. --> #This is important - let the website finish loading (wait for the spinning {for win}green{/for}{for mac}blue{/for}{for linux}orange{/for} loading icon in the tab to stop). #Open the New Tab page again and you will see a new image for the website you just went to. #Repeat this process for the rest of the missing images. {note}'''Note:''' Some websites don't allow images to be generated and saved so they'll show up blank even after doing the steps above. Also, [[Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox|clearing your browsing history]] (manually or automatically when Firefox closes) will delete the images.{/note}
