I have my pinned tabs set up in 3 rows(default value) and 4 columns(user set). Since my upgrade to 39.0, my bottom row is not visible, yet my aboot:config settings remain 3x4.

Chosen solution

You can zoom out the about:newtab page to resize the tiles and have more tiles fit on the page.

  • View > Zoom > Zoom Out; Ctrl and -
    "Zoom Text Only" shouldn't have a tick

This will affect all elements on the page, so text get smaller as well. Make sure that only one tab with the about:newtab page is open when you change the page zoom.

Toggle the browser.newtab.preload pref to false on the about:config page in case of issues with remembering the page zoom of the about:newtab page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

I understand that you have rows and coloumns of tabs visible. Is this a customization? Or are you talking about this about:newtab page (see screenshot)
