Firefox automatically adjusts the number of columns that fit on the about:newtab page if you adjust the width of the Firefox window or zoom the page in or out and no longer resizes the thumbnails. The current release doesn't resize the thumbnails, but instead reduces the number of tiles to fit the current screen width, so you may not see the number of columns that is specified via the browser.newtabpage.columns pref. You can zoom out the about:newtab page to see more tiles. Make sure that you have only one tab with the about:newtab page open.

It helped--I found a reply that enabled me get 12 tiles!! Woohoo!!

However, here is my other question that WAS NOT answered.

Also, I'm missing the Firefox logo in the upper left corner as well as the words "File", "Bookmarks", etc. How can I restore them??

Thanks in advance for your help,

Bill

In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible whether the Menu Bar is visible or hidden.

You can have the Menu Bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks and History and Tools menus.

You can toggle the title bar on/off via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window.
