I posted this very same headline about seven months ago and a contributor called jscher2000 provided an awesome solution:-
In short it involved Double-clicking the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newNewtabExperience.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false
It instantly solved the problem of having tiny little icons surrounded by a HUGE border of wated white space - the result of an "upgrade".
Alas, I made the mistake of allowing FF to upgrade again and now the tiles are shrunk back to a level where people like me who are blind as a bat, cannot really see what the icons are any more.
I checked and the original solution is still set to "FALSE", but Firefox is now ignoring that.
I realise that someone has decided this looks "cooler" or "sleeker" so we should have no choice in the matter anymore, - it's just a shame that it is also far harder for people with grotty vision. The obsession with changing things from clear and simple to "smart but difficult" seems so silly.
Other than re-installing an older version and not making the mistake of letting it "upgrade" to a less useful version again, is there anything I can do to make it so I can still actually SEE the contents of the tiles - other than buy stronger glass and get used to even more wasted white-space?
Is there are new way to fix the broken "improvement" please ?
