I have adjusted the cache, ticked all the boxes and set up the tabs as described but still I see no pictures in the TABS? Any thoughts, Please?

Chosen solution

See:

The thumbnails on the about:newtab page are generated from the cache, so if the page is not in the cache or otherwise can't be rendered as a PNG image then you will get an empty box.

  • Do not use Clear Recent History to clear data like the cache and the history when you close Firefox

If there is no history then you get an about:newtab page with empty boxes.

Are you referring to the new tab page that appears when you press Ctrl+t, which should display 9 thumbnails of recently/frequently visited sites?

What do you see there -- nine links but no images?

Yes....the only thing I see in the TABS is the name of the site.
