My new tab pinned sites only show in full screen mode. This has only happened since updating Firefox.

I have my top sites 'pinned' on new tab. Since updating Firefox only the first four sites (top line) show and I cannot drag/drop the missing ones from bookmarks.

I have just found out that the sites are still there but only appear when I select 'full screen' mode.

Is there any way I can restore the page to show both lines of pinned sites without being in full screen mode please?

It seems that there was a regression with Firefox 39 on the new tab page. A Bug report was filed on the 4th and the triage team has responded.

I saw the same thing with the difference when in the Full Screen mode when testing for that "change"; the "missing" row shows up in Full Screen mode - but with my monitor resolution I could see two rows of Tiles, the 3rd row was missing when not in Full Screen mode.

Overall, I think you should try the New Tab Tools extension and see how you like it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/

I am using that in a number of my Firefox Profiles. The Profile where I verified that problem which was mentioned in a number of forum threads over the weekend that I rarely use - I use it see how Firefox works "as installed", before doing an modifications.
