Customization Panel, Under The Wallpapers Section
Today (06/12/2025) upon opening a new tab, Firefox slid the new option of uploading a custom picture to apply to the background. Tried the new feature, now I can not find the setting that allows me to change the picture. I read the thread "Customize your wallpapers". The instructions are as follows; You can personalize your Firefox New Tab page by adding one of the available wallpapers. Follow these steps:
1. In the right corner of the New Tab page, click the gear IG settings icon. 2. In the customization panel, under the Wallpapers section, you will see different categories like Solid colors, Abstract and Photographs.
Click the category you prefer. For example, selecting Abstract will show a variety of abstract designs.
The problem I have is the customization panel is no where to be seen, I have click on EVERYTHING possible, it is not in my settings, why? How do find this?
Chosen solution
After disabling the tracking and ad blocking extensions, refreshing the new tab page, the gear icon showed up on the right side, bottom of the screen (not top). I enabled each extension individually to find out which one blocked the gear icon, but each one did not have any effect on the gear icon, so I can not say which one caused it to hide. So for those of you that are experiencing what I have, you may want to simply disable the extensions, refresh new tab page, and look for the gear icon on the bottom of the page. I also recommend for those of you who have dark or busy pattern to scroll the pointer around, the icon is very very faint that it may be blending too well to where you can not see it.

Hi T Fontana,
Thanks for getting back here with the resolution to your issue.
I also want to note that new users might not see this feature unless they enable it via Firefox Labs. See https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/139.0/releasenotes/
This feature will be rolling out gradually to new users and can also be enabled immediately via Firefox Labs. Additionally, new Wallpaper images and a new Celestial category have also been added.
