How do I restore the TILES feature to New Tab?

more options

Quite new to Firefox. Had the tiles feature before. Now I just get a completely blank page. I updated a program called Web Companion which changed my homepage for some reason. I think this was the cause. Now I can't get tiles back, or see any option in the settings to get it back.

The part of the help page which says "How do I turn the New Tab page off" may have been useful for me to turn it ON, however the blue gear icon they suggest I click on which allows the option 'Enhanced/Classic/Blank' DOES NOT EXIST!

I even tried to reinstall Firefox to restore to default settings. No good either.

No idea what is going on.

You beauty!

As easy as that! Thanks pal.

Why is the settings menu so badly designed that you can't just click a button to restore defaults, choose New Tab settings etc? It's disappointing for a browser which seems to pride itself on useability and customization to be so frustratingly opaque. Or maybe I'm just stupid?!
