How do I get firefox to show recent sites in new tabs in the new releases of firefox? I really like this feature. I downgraded my firefox so I could get this screenshot. I really want this feature in the new versions of firefox.

This extension may let you get something similar to the old way https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... tab-tools/

You can increase the number of Top Sites rows and remove the tiles you don't care about (hover until the 3-bullet button appears, use that to unpin or dismiss). After that, it should be similar to the old display, just at a much smaller scale.

Is there a way to do it on a large scale?jscher2000 wrote:You can increase the number of Top Sites rows and remove the tiles you don't care about (hover until the 3-bullet button appears, use that to unpin or dismiss).

Define "large scale".

You can use custom style rules in a userContent.css file to enlarge the tiles if you like. I have these old rules myself for some reason (experimenting?). I don't actually use the tiles much so this isn't optimized by any means:COKEDUDE wrote:Is there a way to do it on a large scale?jscher2000 wrote:You can increase the number of Top Sites rows and remove the tiles you don't care about (hover until the 3-bullet button appears, use that to unpin or dismiss).

Code: Select all

@-moz-document url("about:newtab"), url("about:home") {
/* Define dimensions used in the rule */
:root {
--tilewidth: 275px;
--tileheight: 180px;
}
/* Set tile and thumbnail size (too large?) */
div.tile, div.tile div.screenshot {
width: var(--tilewidth) !important;
height: var(--tileheight) !important;
}
/* Increase width of title below thumbnail */
.top-site-outer .title {
width: var(--tilewidth) !important;
}
/* Reduce wasted space between tiles */

padding: 0 4px !important;
}
/* Fix tile context menu button position */

/* Reduce the site icon offset */
