My top sites have suddenly been reduced to three
When I click on the new tab I get a page that shows my top sites. Up until yesterday I had six top sites, now there are only three and I can't see any way of adding more. There are just the three top sites and then the rest of the page is blank. There are no slots or spaces to add the missing sites that I had before. Can anyone help please?

I have the same problem, but mine was reduced from 9 to 3.
Sorry, I am not seeing that problem with Firefox 33 in multiple different Profiles. 3 columns, with 2 rows - as always. But tweaking settings for "rows" - 3 rows doesn't show as it did before.

Increasing my display resolution solved the issue for me. Is it because the new "new tab" icons are larger than before?
The current release doesn't seem to resize the thumbnails below a certain width, but instead reduces the number of tiles, so you may not see the number of columns that you have specified via the browser.newtabpage.columns pref. You would have to zoom out the page to see more tiles.
I've already tried zooming out. I seem to have lost the useful + - buttons that allowed me to zoom out quickly but I can zoom out fully from the view option. I still only have three tiles. Is there any way of going back to the previous version?
What are the values of the browser.newtabpage.columns and browser.newtabpage.rows prefs on the about:config page?
What is the current height of the browsing window?
Can you attach a screenshot?

You can also try to hide the search bar and the margins at the top and bottom with code in the userContent.css file.
Add code to the userContent.css file.
@-moz-document url(about:newtab) {
#newtab-margin-top,
#newtab-margin-bottom,
#newtab-search-container { display: none !important; }
}
The customization files userContent.css (websites) and userChrome.css (user interface) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
