How do I get tot the NEW TABS PAGE? I have no cogwheel icon in the top right hand corner of my page.
Something happened and I lost the tile tab view when I pull up a new tab. I also have NO COGWHEEL icon in the top right corner fo my screen. I do have a cogwheel on my menu bar that pulls up a settings page. and while there are a few things that mention tabs in the info on the pages. NONE OF THEM MENTION NEW TAB ANYTHING!!!! Please help.

Type about:newtab<enter> in the address box.
What does your new tab page look like now?
If it doesn't have a cog wheel in the page (not on the toolbar outside the page) it could be some other page. To check its address, you can use the Page Info dialog. Either:
- right-click a blank area of the page and choose View Page Info
- (menu bar) Tools menu > Page Info
On the General panel, you can triple-click the URL to the right of Address to select it, then either Ctrl+c to copy it, or right-click>Copy, and you can paste it into a reply.

It shows the tiled new tab I want. But it is not what it coming up when I click on the + to open a new tab.
With Firefox 41 (and higher), it's no longer possible to customize the page shown in a new tab via changing the preference browser.newtab.url in about:config. Because of the fact that hijackers abused the preference in the past, Mozilla decided to remove it (see bug 1118285). Fortunately, by removing it, Mozilla also introduced a new API to bring this functionality back to life as an add-on. This add-on allows the user to choose a certain page in a new tab.

This is also available using Classic Theme Restorer (Customize Australis) {web link} Restore squared tabs, appmenu, add-ons bar, small button view and more on Australis UI (Windows/MacOSX/Linux + Fx 29+).
But before trying to fix it with an add-on, could you let us know what the current address of the page that appears on your new tab is? It could be something substituted by one of your existing add-ons.
