Update 151.0 (64-bit Win 11) - I want to eliminate the empty space on the top of my home page.

Now that this update is in place, my 80% screen size now has a scroll bar on the right.

My second row of shortcuts is partially cut off. 67% screen size shows all shortcuts, but they are tiny.

Why is there so much empty space appearing on the home page (above "Firefox" branding)? I found no option to minimize this space.

I have a Dell laptop (Inspiron 16), with the scale of the screen set at 125%.

TIA!

eb25390119, you might be able to (temporarily) revert back to the previous New Tab page by going to about:config, searching for "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.nova.enabled" and setting it to false.

But the developers are listening to feedback on the new New Tab page at the link below, so it might be worth posting yours there if you wanted to. https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/firefox-151-introduces-a-fresh-new-look-for-home-amp-new-tab/td-p/125715
