new tab page
I just downloaded and installed the new Firefox Beta (I think it is versioned 13.0). One reason I decided to try it was the new tab page feature mentioned in the email that I received. It said that this new tab page feature had been added that shows thumbnails with recently visited web sites. I have been using the New Tab Jumpstart add-on to get this type of functionality. It would nice to get the same functionality built-in. I cannot find this new tab page feature since I installed the new beta. I even disabled the jumpstart add-on to see if that would make it work. How do I get this new tab page functionality to work in the new beta?

Try to start Firefox in Safe mode. It is possible your extensions disabled this feature. If it works there, you can try resetting firefox preferences in the Safe Mode Dialog (just don't delete your bookmarks on accident).

Thanks! It did work in Safe Mode. I like the features that New Tab Jumpstart provides so I will probably stick with that for now. I provides some other options to open recently closed tabs as well as direct links to recently used bookmarks which are both nice. I did not see those on the Firefox New Tab Page. Thanks again!
The about:newtab page has a button with an 9 squares icon in the top right corner to show or hide that page.
Check your addons, stuff like Tab Mix Plus wont have settings to compensate.
