Please tell me, how to return the gray background in a new tab? And how to return to the number rows and columns of picture thumbnails not decreased when the window changes at half-screen, non-rounded thumbnails? That new UI makes me sad...

I'd love a black background for new tabs. For that matter, most of the internet is too bright in my view; luckily there's some good plugins and bookmarklets to address this.

  Just grey was the default color, and I quite liked. Don't want to install extensions only at the whim of firefox.

It looks like you still have the same number of rows, but each tile got larger so they can't all fit on a laptop screen anymore. If you zoom the page out (Ctrl/Cmd + minus) a few times, the bottom row shows up. Firefox guys in this thread, how do we get the old sizes back? 9 thumbnails > 6.

  The about:config prefs for "browser.newtabpage.rows" and "browser.newtabpage.columns" seem to work in Firefox 32, but not 33. I don't know if this is a bug or a design change. UPDATE: This is Firefox bug 1005596. The prefs only work when you zoom out. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1005596 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1005596

    Yeah, I saw that (the default for one of them changed to 5 for some reason). Searching around, I found this link: https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Newtab_page_Tiles/Test_Plan https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Newtab_page_Tiles/Test_Plan It looks like something about the tabs changed for Firefox 33, but I really can't tell what from that document. The two notable parts I saw were: - If there is not enough space for the fixed size tile and it's gutters, rows and/or columns are removed from the grid. - In the Tile Grid, there will be Top Sites tiles (based on user frequency), but also Sponsored or Partner tiles. I don't know why the first one changed (as opposed to just scaling the tiles like they did before). The second one seems like a whole different scary thing.

    Reddit suggested a temporary solution to this issue by installing the extension(not bug fixes, but still): https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/?src=api https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/?s...

      Oh awesome, thanks! I was looking for addons yesterday, but I must've missed this one. It does everything I want, so I'm placated for the moment.
