Why did you have to change everything I needed and used. I was happy with Fire Fox and thought it worked wonderfully. NOW, I can't get to my pages and when I do they crash. Then, my thumbnails are limited and some of them gone. I can't rearrange them and they are smaller. NOT HAPPY@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi  !

I totally understand your frustration - but maybe you'll feel better after you've done this :

Click on the 'cog wheel' (gear icon) on the upper right side of the page - you can make a lot of changes there.

But if you're not happy with the result, you can get the 'old' New Tab page back :

Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) (promist to be careful, if asked)

Type in the search bar and look for the preference :

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.enabled

and set its value to false

In case you want it to be your home page, you can change this preference as well :

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.aboutHome.enabled

and set its value to false


You could also choose to increase the number of rows on the 'about:config' page : :

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesCount

And change its value to either 18, 24, 30 (or higher)
