My deleting selected files from my browsing history screwed up the icon display of my most frequently visited sites. In trying to correct this I inadvertently deleted the entire icon display. I have had no success trying to find out how to restore this display that was quite handy. I am running V 71. Your help is much appreciated! Kind regards,

If your Homepage or search parameters are set using the add-on, they will be reset to the default settings (Bug 1549192) to change them back:

Homepage

  1. Enter 'about: preferences' in the address bar.
  2. To the left of the panel, click on Home.
  3. Select the necessary options for the Home page, new windows and new tabs by clicking on the drop-down menu next to each of them.

For more information, read the article How to set the home page.

Search

  1. Enter 'about: preferences' in the address bar.

If I understand correctly, this is the Firefox start page.

  1. Open a new tab
  2. Click on the settings icon in the upper right corner of the page (gear)
  3. In the window that appears, find the tab "Firefox Home Page"
  4. To the left of "Top Sites" tick
