The new tab page changed and all I have are 8 of my pins left! Where did all of my pins go and how do I change it all back?
I used to be able to customize the new tab page and I had several more than just 8 pinned. That option is gone as well.

Check your zoom controls.
<Control> (Mac=<Command>) + (plus) enlarge - (minus) reduce 0 (zero) restore
There isn't a lot of built-in customization for the page, so if you were able to do a lot to it before, you might have been using the add-on New Tab Tools.
The New Tab Tools extension is undergoing an extreme makeover to become compatible with later versions of Firefox that have different restrictions on what add-ons can do. During the transition, you may find that some features of the add-on are missing for a while.
The developer suggested one thing to try if it just doesn't seem to be working at all, which is to run the "purgecaches" command at your next startup. Here's how:
(1) Completely exit out of Firefox
(2) Enter (paste) the following command-line into either the Windows Run dialog, or the Windows search box, and press Enter to execute it:
for 32-bit Firefox on 64-bit Windows -- this includes you:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -purgecaches
for 32-bit Firefox on 32-bit Windows:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -purgecaches
for 64-bit Firefox on 64-bit Windows:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -purgecaches
Firefox should start normally after clearing the JavaScript cache.
Does that help?

Wasn't zoomed in, but thank you for the suggestion, Fred. jscher, thank you for letting me know they are undergoing a makeover. I will try to be patient.
