I have no add-ons. Also, how do I get rid of the search bar on the tabs page?

Hello,

The number of tiles is now determined on screen size - if you zoom out or expand the window you can have more tiles appear.

If you want to set a fixed number of tiles, you can do so with the following extension:


You can also see jscher2000's Chosen Solution here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025414 It requires the Stylish add-on but will automatically shrink the tiles on the page:

In the Firefox configuration the limit is set to 3 rows by 5 columns as maximum (if you zoom out the page/shrink the tile sizes sufficiently, the number of tiles are limited to that setting). If you want to change those values:

  1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
  3. Search for and modify the preferences (by double clicking the row, or right clicking the row and selecting Modify)
    • browser.newtabpage.columns
    • browser.newtabpage.rows

Let us know if that helps.
