Why are my homepage website icons pushed together into a small area?

Hello, I have a few rows of website icons on my home screen for quick access to my most used sites. The rows were always spread across the screen so that the icons were a convenient size, and the text (i.e. labels) under the icons were complete and readable ... until yesterday. Now the icons are pushed together into a smaller area of the screen. Not only are the icons small, but the labels under many of them are truncated in order to fit into the smaller space. I did not make any changes to my settings so I don't know how or why this has happened. I am hoping that there is a way to restore the home page to its former state. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks for any help!

Can you attach a screenshot of this issue? There wasn't any change of the default homepage yet.

You can try "Clear the startup cache..." in "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support).

Hi cor-el, Thanks very much for your reply to my question. I tried clearing the startup cache using the instructions and link that you provided, but that did not resolve the issue. Another responder said that there has not been a change or update to the home screen for quite a while, so this problem must only be with my system. Now I wonder if uninstalling and reinstalling my Firefox app and reloading everything would help.

Thanks!
