Hello. I am using Firefox on both Windows 10 and MX Linux, and I noticed a difference in how the New Tab page displays shortcuts. Even though both browsers are set to display 2 Rows in the Home settings, Firefox on Windows displays 10 shortcuts per row (20 in total), whereas Firefox on MX Linux only displays 8 shortcuts per row (16 in total), details in attached screenshots. Could someone explains why there are differents like that? Was it because the different between OS or Firefox versions (both was updated to lastest version)? Thank you.

The "10 Shortcuts Per Row" is an experiment. Only a subset of profiles receives that change to test it.
