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.
