when I downloaded new version of firefox, the feature where when I open a new tab a page loads that contains mini-windows containing my most visited sites. where is this feature now!?
So with the new version of firefox I lost the feature where, whenever I opened a new tab, instead of a blank tab page, a page would appear that contained mini-windows containing pics of all my most often used websites. I could then simply click on one of maybe six windows to go directly to my most used sites. What happened to this? I really, really, really miss this feature. How can I get it back?

You probably had a "speed dial" or "fast dial" add-on. If you check here, you probably can discover which one it was and if you let us know the name, we can research whether updates are available.
orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Add-ons
On the left side, click Extensions, and look toward the lower part of the list where the disabled extensions are listed in gray.
Thanks for the response. I am pretty sure it is a google toolbar feature. The google toolbar isn't compatible yet with Firefox 5.0. A real bummer for now but I assume a bit more time will change things back. I guess I will wait a bit before downloading the latest version of firefox next time.
The Google Toolbar and other extensions for Firefox include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
(1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
(2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
This thread has info on both approaches: google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help.
