How do I add tiles to allow for added shortcuts?
On the new tab page I have set for 4 rows of shortcuts. In the fourth row I have 3 open spaces for tiles/shortcuts. There is no way to add the tiles whereas there was previously a tile that would show that said "+add shortcut". Given I have room in the row to add 3 shortcuts, how do I add tiles to allow for added shortcuts?

You can edit browser.newtabpage.pinned in about:config and add ",null" to the list between the brackets: [....,null,null,null] The value null acts as a placeholder for history visits and you should be able to edit such a tile.
If you close and restart Firefox then you should get the extra tiles. If not then use {"url":"about:blank?1"},{"url":"about:blank?2"},{"url":"about:blank?3"} instead of null,null,null
Thanks. Tried both solutions offered, neither solved the problem. Still 3 empty spots in the fourth row and no option to add shortcut. Also tried moving existing shortcut tile to spots, would not allow.
I also discovered that if I unpin my current shortcuts the spot goes away. This is what happened originally as there were two open spots, I unpinned a saved shortcut, and the tile went away. Now I have 3 spots and I do not want to try it again as I do not want to lose another shortcut..
