New Tab Gear Icon Missing

more options

Running the very latest version of Firefox. New tab open completely blank, and there is no gear icon, thus no way to set parameters. I restarted in safe mode, with no add-ons, and it didn't help.

hi, please try this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.newtabpage.enabled - right-click and reset that entry to the default value.
