Opening a new tab brought up a tab with thumbnails of most-visited sites; it stopped doing that. Any idea why, or how to get it back?

When I clicked on the "New Tab" button to the right of the open tabs, the newly opened tab would have thumbnails of my most-visited sites along with a sidebar for recently closed tabs and some other useful links. For some reason, it's stopped doing that, and now just brings up a blank new tab. Is there a way to get this feature back?

That is not a built-in feature of Firefox. There are a few add-ons that offer that type of functionality such as:

You may have got this feature as part of the Google Toolbar, for details see http://www.google.com/support/toolbar/bin/answer.py?answer=115561
