In my experience with the new update, it has made my experience worse. The new redesign has made the shortcuts smaller, I have 4 rows of shortcuts and I now have to scroll to reach the bottom ones. I also tried zooming in but it didn't work and zooming out make the shortcut icons smaller. Firefox should either revert this change to the older tab grid or make it better.

You can revert to old grid in about:config - browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.nova.enabled (set it to false).

Starting with the current version 151.0.1, on the Firefox Home page, the shortcuts got shifted all the way to the bottom of the screen. The shortcuts used to be closer to the middle of the screen. When I zoom out, the position of the shortcuts can go up, but the text and icons get smaller so I can't see them as well. There is a lot of blank space on the top half of the screen. The Firefox logo is taking up space. I never had this problem before. The size and position of the icons were fine in all previous versions. You can also see this when adding additional rows of shortcuts. The Firefox icon stays in the middle and the shortcuts get added to the bottom and the homepage has a scroll bar instead of all the icons going up to utilize the blank space.

There are a lot of empty space in the screen and they even couldn't put the shortcut icons in the page, needing to roll the bar to show the lower ones. And there is a empty unused space above the firefox icon and text. The best feature of the new tab the usefull one regarded to oblivion. A few years ago they did it, the shortcuts were bigger, I went crazy when they reduced them. Now again. I don't know what these people have in mind.
