How do I bring back tiles instead of an empty new tab page, in the newest version?

I like the tiles. The most recent time I installed Firefox, they didn't appear, and I don't have the "gear" icon that the support page describes to change this setting. Can't find anything about it under the options menu either. Image attached of my menu arrangement, in case it helps. It updated yesterday so it should be current.

You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page and set that pref to your preferred new tab page.

  • the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
  • the default home page is about:home
  • for a blank page you can use about:blank

The browser.newtabpage.enabled pref should be set to true to use the page set via browser.newtab.url as the new tab page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
