In the last release you changed the size of the icons and the distance between rows. They are too spread, and the icons too small, and the text too large and none of this can be configured/changed!!!!!!!!!
I want to see at least three rows in my FF home page.
Solved! Go to Solution.

The issue is that after I close FF and open it again, the setting goes back to TRUE.
How do I change it permanently?
FF didn't use to be so troublesome in the past.

Yes, it seems so:
How do I tell that the new design is not good in my opinion? (The study should be to get some feedback, I guess)

I like `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabShortcuts.refresh` to `true`:
Edit: I do hope they remove the pins though, or and an option to do that.

Perhaps you could clarify your version of Firefox you are using and your Firefox logo it's browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLogo.aprilfools

Oh, true. I keep forgetting I use Beta 😬
I also have `browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-a` set to `true`
Ps. the fools day logo seems to be removed in nightly...

I'll repeat my question: what's the point of a study if I don't provide any feedback for the one making the study?
How do I say that newtabLayouts.variant-b is not working fine for me? (before I click the Remove button where I guess I opt-out of the study)

Ok, thank you. But if they are pushing you unwillingly into a study program, I think they should at least provide an easy way to provide feedback, something like thumb up/down buttons or send a comment field.

This was marked as "Solved" but IMHO it's not... it just provides workaround how to get the old variant back without any possibility to influence the new variant.
I agree with @Eduardo1 that if they are doing A/B tests there should be a feedback option...

Yes, my "solution" was to Remove myself from this study, but not a good one because I would have liked to influence on this issue to also provide a solution for many other people that may be facing the same problem. But without having to do much, like creating accounts somewhere else.

Thank you all for your feedback! I work on Firefox and wanted to let you know that updates to our shortcuts design are already underway. Within the next few releases you will see improvements to the icon size, as well as the spacing between icons. You can see a preview in VeganFox's post above.
We appreciate your feedback so that we can continue improving the Firefox experience!

I silently hint at my hope that the Foolish Fox can be retained after April 1st 😉
But I think it looks great with the new design.

Please do not just copy Google Chromes new tab page or anything else google does. the pre 2016 was fine and worked really well. Then google changed the new tab page for no reason, and it was the final reason why i switched to Firefox. If Mozilla keeps things consistent and focuses on fixing bugs and keeps the interface simple and consistent, then people will look at switching to better and more simple, less bloated options like Firefox.

I'm also here to say how much I get annoyed by the new design with small icons, and that it's impossible to deactivate it permanently.
Furthermore I cannot understand what this study is - there is nothing (noticeably) different in the screen, other than the very bad layout of my 2 rows x 8 icons
