Hello folks:

When I open a new tab there is a row of 8 thumbnails representing web sites near the top of the screen.

I believe there is a setting that allows the user to specify 3 or 4 rows of these thumbnails.

I want many more rows of these convenient thumbnails.

I believe there is a setting with an obscure name buried deep in a configuration table that can be used to specify the size of this table of thumbnails.

Please tell me how I can give myself the number of these thumbnails that I want.

Thanks Larry

Automatically signs out of Xfinity or page refreshes when I switch tabs. Every. Time. I have tried all suggested fixes -clearing cookies, and site data, turning off enhanced tracking, quitting Firefox and re opening, restarting computer and several other things. This just started very recently, very annoying!

How to disable auto-pinning recent sites to new tab shortcuts while keeping browsing history enabled?

I would like to disable the automatic creation/pinning of shortcut tiles for recently visited websites on the Firefox Home / New Tab page, while keeping my full browsing … (read more)

I would like to disable the automatic creation/pinning of shortcut tiles for recently visited websites on the Firefox Home / New Tab page, while keeping my full browsing history (Ctrl+H) saved in the browser background.

Currently, even when toggling options on the about:preferences#home page, visited sites continue to automatically generate shortcut tiles on the home screen unless the entire history is turned off.

Is there a setting, hidden about:config preference, or workaround to completely prevent recent sites from automatically populating the shortcut grid while keeping full browsing history active?

Thank you!

When I open a new tab in Firefox for Android I would prefer to have the "focus" immediately in the address bar. Then the keyboard would open automatically. Now, I always have to click in the address bar first. I think this has newly changed. Could it be undone?

Suddenly, I have problems with new tabs. I have FF 159.0 and Windows 11, and the latest version of New Tab Override. Still, no matter what I do (and I have tried a lot), having set New Tab to be Google Search (https://www.google.com), when I click new tab or deleting last tab, I get my last search screen, not Google Search.. It worked like a charm two days ago..

Please, anyone, what the heck have i done?

On my Firefox Home Page, I selected two rows of PINNED shortcuts. Each time I open a webpage that webpage is added not only to the two selected rows of shortcuts, but "keeps" EVERY webpage selected after filling the two selected shortcut rows. It is not only annoying and inconvenient, but s l o w s work time to a crawl around these shortcuts ... few, if any, are helpful. If I want to re-entry an UNPINNED shortcuts, I go to history and select the one I want. WHEN is Fire Fox to solve this seemingly simple but annoying problem?
