Address bar list of previously visited sites has shrunk

more options

The list of previously visited sites in firefox windows seems to have shrunk in some recent update of firefox. Now, when I click the address bar I only get 5 options, the first being search with google and the remaining 4 being previously visited sites. Used to be that list was much longer. Is there a way to customize this, or revert it back to where it contains 10+ items?

It's set to 20, and it works, the issue is I would like to immediately have my previously visited sites show up before I even start typing. Right now, it shows 4 rows of sites before I type anything and I seem to recall it used to show more than that. In any case, I found an extension that does what I need, "Show History Frequent Sites Button" so I will mark this as solved.

This is strange. Enter about:config in the address bar and check the value of browser.urlbar.maxRichResults.

When you click in the address bar, before you begin typing anything, Firefox usually shows the first 8-10 shortcuts from your Firefox Home / new tab page. To update/curate that list, see: Customize items on your Firefox New Tab page.

But if you prefer my add-on, that's cool, too. ;-)
