Why does my "New Tab" page contain fewer and fewer sites?
Once upon a time, my new tab page showed nine frequently visited sites. Then it became six. Then four. Now it's only three. I have a 1366 x 768 screen, for crying out loud. My screen resolution hasn't changed. What do the developers imagine the point is of a "frequently visited sites" screen (or a "recommended sites" screen) that offers the user only three choices? I know the trend in tablet-oriented design is to include less and less information and less and less utility onscreen at any given time, but I don't use a tablet, and this is one reason why I don't use a tablet.
Would it be so hard to make the number of pages on the New Tab screen an editable setting?

A few versions ago, the margins changed, I think, and that can cause one row to disappear from the bottom.
What do you think about using zoom to fit more in the page, albeit with smaller captions? Hold down the Ctrl key and tap - once or twice to see whether that suits you.
Firefox may fail to remember your preferred zoom level on the new tab page when preloading is enabled. If you find that Firefox cannot remember the zoom level, here's how you disable preloading:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.preload preference to switch its value from true to false
After the change, if you have any "new tab" pages open, close them, and open a new one, change the zoom setting, and now it should be remembered.
If you do not want to reduce the zoom level, the following extension has a rich set of options for styling the page: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/

The extension seems like the better solution for me. Thank you.
