I recently removed some adware and now I have 6 tiles/boxes showing when I open a new tab instead of the 9 I used to have

How can I have 9 tiles/boxes showing instead of 6?? (Are 12 boxes available??)

Also, I'm missing the Firefox logo in the upper left corner as well as the words "File", "Bookmarks", etc. How can I restore them??

Thanks,

Bill

Chosen solution

In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible whether the Menu Bar is visible or hidden.

You can have the Menu Bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks and History and Tools menus.

You can toggle the title bar on/off via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window.

Firefox automatically adjusts the number of columns that fit on the about:newtab page if you adjust the width of the Firefox window or zoom the page in or out and no longer resizes the thumbnails. The current release doesn't resize the thumbnails, but instead reduces the number of tiles to fit the current screen width, so you may not see the number of columns that is specified via the browser.newtabpage.columns pref. You can zoom out the about:newtab page to see more tiles. Make sure that you have only one tab with the about:newtab page open.
