About newtab is cutting out the bottom of my background picture, how can I fix this?
I have About:newtab 1.1.3 set as my homepage and whenever I open it the bottom part of my background picture is cut off by a white bar. When I click the "Hide the new tab page" button my saved pages disappear along with the white bar, how can I fix this?

Can you attach a screenshot?
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
- Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
- Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
What element gets selected if you right-click that white area and select Inspect Element?
This is what I see normally and when I click Inspect Element, sorry I couldn't be more help.
From that screenshot this looks OK and the background image doesn't extend to this bottom margin.
You could try to hide or collapse that bottom margin with code in userContent.css Maybe also hide the top margin to get more space for the thumbnails.
Add code to the userContent.css file below the default @namespace line.
@-moz-document url(about:newtab){
#newtab-margin-top, #newtab-margin-bottom { display:none!important; }
}
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
- Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
- Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
- Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
- Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css.
Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file

As I said when I click the "Hide the new tab page" you can see what gets cut off that white bar at the bottom from the previous pictures shouldn't be there
Are you using an extension to put that image on the new tab page?
If by extensions you mean do I have it centered vertically and horizontally through the about newtab options than yes, other than that no and I switched it around through the options either by containing it or repeating it and the white bar is still there.
cor-el asked if you have an add-on like this installed? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/
no is this a program like about newtab or is it just an add on to that cause if so I'll just use this and get rid of about newtab

Now I know something is seriously wrong I was wondering if I could fix it in the options and noticed that the columns and rows were a little off and when i went to correct them I ended up with 4 columns and 2 rows that are locked and I can't change back so now I'm a little more concerned.
Current Firefox version automatically resize the thumbnails and may adjust the the number of rows and columns to fit the current Window dimensions. So if you make the window higher and/or smaller then you probably get 3x3 or the specified number.
about:config page:
- browser.newtabpage.columns (3)
- browser.newtabpage.rows (3)
