Home page (4 rows, Linux FF) too tiny after update, search results useless

Firefox Home screen

I have used 4 rows of site icons on my home page for years. (Linux FF since 2013, various distros.)

After an update, they became tiny AND so close to the bottom that a zoom of even 110 percent was unacceptable. (I prefer 100 percent.) 100 cut off the labels at the bottom.

I deleted my search bar from homepage yesterday, and had already deleted top stories and weather years ago.

Several searches over the last few days have done nothing.

Screenshot of zoom at 110 and straight 100.

Hello

This discussion thread https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/firefox-151-introduces-a-fresh-new-look-for-home-amp-new-tab/td-p/125715

If you wish, to see, you can test, browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.nova.enabled

1 - Go to configuration editor https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox 2 - Enter a search term browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.nova.enabled You can double-click on the preference to set the value to false

Yes that worked. It centered and enlarged the homepage icons, even though i am still unfamiliar with the "activitystream-nova" part.

Also searches had not produced the FF page on the "new look" that had this information. I've bookmarked it.

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.nova.enabled, the value, true
