How do I unpin a site that is pinned offscreen?

more options

I just upgraded my version of Firefox. In the last version, I had some websites pinned in the bottom of new tab page. After the upgrade, one of the sites has gone missing from the page. When I try to reorganize sites on it, it shows up hidden in the bottom of the screen. My only guess is that it's somehow pinned to a spot offscreen. How can I fix this?

In Firefox 33, the thumbnail size and margins have changed. Users with a higher base zoom level cannot see all 9 of their thumbnails. Try reducing the zoom level (hold down Ctrl and tap the - key once or twice) to bring them all into view.

Firefox should remember that new level, but if it doesn't, or if that makes the search bar too small, you could use an add-on or custom style rule to adjust the sizing. (I'll need to dig up the link to an earlier thread.)
