How to manually change the thumbnail images of the new tab page (without using addons)?

I wanted to customize the images displayed on the thumbnails on the New Tab Page. I tried using the addon "New Tab Tools" to do so and it worked, for a while. Now a bug seems to have affected it (it is not displaying any thumbnails, so I uninstalled it). So I want to try another approach. I want to MANUALLY change the images for each of the thumbnail on the new tab page (of course, the thumbnails are 'pinned').

(I read some other articles related to thumbnails, specifically about DELETING them, and it asked me to open the Firefox Profile Folder, and in there, delete the thumbnails folder. I thought I could simply change the images stored in it instead of deleting them, but there is NO thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder (I accessed the profile folder thru the troubleshooting information section in the help menu). So where is this thumbnails folder after all?)

So, how can I do it?

Thanks in advance.

The thumbnails folder is in the location of the cache files as shown on the about:cache page.

I note you are using Icedragon 26. Not sure I have come across that before.

I guess they provide their own support, as they are apparently offering something based on an outdated and unsupported Firefox26. I see their forum has threads on Icedragon if you search for them, but at a quick glance I see no specific topic

You could always install an official and up to date Firefox 29

You may note the New Tabs page may be subject to a few changes over coming versions of Firefox it is apparently being improved. Firefox itself as Fx29 is also slightly changed from Fx26
