How can I customize Firefox the way so when I launch it I see all my bookmarks like squares on the screen?

Greetings,

I can find no way of making my bookmarks squares that I will see right after I launch Firefox.

If I go Menu > Options > General and change "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" I would see my last visited sites in squares once next time I launch Firefox.

However I want to see represented this way not my last visited sites, but my bookmarks only.

Any way to achieve this? I heard Chrome can do this but I do try to stick up with Firefox.

Thank you.

I am not sure whether you need the tiles or just are not yet aware of Firefox's many bookmarks features.


Many people have hundreds or even thousands of Bookmarks, and tiles of bookmarks squares on a single page will not cope with that.

Note the newtab page often will hold 6 to 12 tiles. For use of and customisation of that see these articles

The bookmarks may be displayed from the dropdown bookmarks icon list, the sidebar or the bookmarks Library/manager. You have already discovered the bookmarks toolbar, and should note that will overflow to the side edge and open on a single mouseclick, and that the you may use folders, that then become dropdown menus. Some of the help articles include short video clips and animations

You are welcome.

Firefox has lost of features and is very customisable. It may take a while to find all the relevant features and decide what you need to use.
