New Tab page too short

Hi,

When I open a new tab, I am presented with the new tab page, thats fine. However, in the recent days I found it doesnt display the very last row of thumbnails (they are supposed to be 3 rows and I see only 2 of them). I checked out the source with firebug and I noticed the DIV marked with the ID "newtab-grid" has a max-height: 537px defined which makes the page too short to show all the rows. I wonder how can I fix this so the page displays correctly.

Thank you.

Hi, you can change the number of tiles on the New Tab page by zooming in or out (Ctrl and + key, or Ctrl and - key).

You may also want to keep the same zoom setting when clicking on a new tab: Type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down to browser.newtab.preload and double click on it to change 'Value' from True to False.

It is also possible in about:config to change the maximum number of tiles, by scrolling down to browser.newtabpage.columns (or .rows), then right click > Modify, to set a new number in 'Value.' More - Configuration Editor for Firefox.

As an alternative, you may like to try the add-on New Tab Tools.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
