I'd like to modify how recently visited site are shown: Listed like before rather than thumbnails, and sorted by most recent rather than most frequent. Thanks.

I did find one thread on creating a custom bookmarks folder that contains the recently visited sites sorted by recency, but I can't figure out how to create it. I'm pretty computer-savvy but the links provided don't go to a clear path on achieving what the topic is about.

And I found nothing on changing back to the former list view that existed before the recent update that went to thumbnails. Note this is not an issue new browser windows but it is when opening a New Tab -- the new version shows thumbnails, but I'd prefer the list.

Thanks!

Firefox (version 13 and higher) shows thumbnails when opening a new tab. If you saw a list view at some point, then that feature was provided by an extension you've installed. Check if the extension in question has been updated for Firefox 13. Setting the new tab page to open about:blank may also restore the extension's functionality.
