Hi.

After a recent update and making new tab links smaller, I've decided to increase number of rows and columns, put my most frequently used bookmarks in there and close bookmarks toolbar to improve visibility. Since yesterday (March 26 2014.) I lost my bottom row, although there is enough space on my screen. In about:config newtab section, it still says I'm having 6 columns and 5 rows, but I only get 4 rows when I open new tab. What might be the problem, and why did you make those newtab links smaller anyway?

Hello,

You're using Nightly, which is a highly experimental version of Firefox intended for testing. In the latest version, modifying the browser.newtabpage.columns and browser.newtabpage.rows preferences in about:config behaves as you describe (in my case, I actually only get 3 rows, presumably because of higher DPI settings). This issue has already been reported.

Please read the Bugzilla etiquette page before deciding to comment on bug reports.

If you don't want to test a cutting edge version of Firefox and report issues with it, switch to the release version.
