My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all? I know how to use about:config & have had the usual problems with newtab page tiles but this is more like a bug- using 33.0.1. Doesn't show tiles icon in top right corner just shows a gear that is used to hide the empty tiles that I can't fill with sites. First it would only show 2 rows of 4 columns even though I had it set to 5 & 6 then few days later for no reason they went empty with a serrated line around the tiles & can't drag from the bookmarks---- really bloody annoying!!!!!!! Possibly a setting in the about:config but i can't fig it out?

thanks for reporting back, this looks strange indeed. can you recover the thumbnails when you try to reset firefox ?
No it didn't but apparently the update has the tabs at a fixed size so you have to zoom out to see them. Best solution was to download the newtabs addon, fixed it better than new. Thanks.
For anyone wondering specifically what add-on it is, this thread has the link: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1027901
Yes here is the addon. Thanks for your help. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/
