I would like to have the ability to add more than 4 rows. They're quite convenient but I need more 🙂

Hey all,

A quick heads up...

Justine, a Firefox Product Manager, is hosting a discussion thread here on Mozilla Connect asking for feedback to improve the Firefox new tab / homepage. And you're all invited (of course) - check it out and add your thoughts via this link: Share Your Thoughts on the Home / "New Tab" Page! 🖥️ [thread 2] 

It's a great opportunity to share ideas and communicate directly with the team working on this feature.

Hope to see ya there 🙌

Don't make rows. Add the ability for the user to customize the grid size: 4x8, 3x5, 10x1, 1x8, 15x12 etc. Any size within reason

On my PC I use Firefox on a large portrait orientation screen, which only allows me a maximum of 4 rows with 6 tabs in each. On my laptop which is fixed in the landscape display the new tabs page shows a larger total number of tabs. Why set a maximum number of rows as low as 4 when I could happily accomodate twice or even three times as many rows on my large screen without any need to reduce the size of the icons. With my PC screen there would also be quite enough room for say 8 tabs per row, again without any need to reduce the size of the icons. Not only does it seem as the focus these days is now on how things look on a small mobile phone screen, but even less attention seems to be given to the portrait display mode compared to landscape, despite the fact that having the screen this way round often gives a much better display both for documents and for web browsing.

Firefox new tab page

It would be nice if you could add more favorite web pages on the Firefox new Tab page, and it would also be nice if you could customize the background on this page with a picture from my hard drive.

@Marty79 there's a separate thread for adding a custom image to the new tab page - check it out here:

Why we just don't limit the number of icons on any way? Users should be able to freely decide how many rows and columns they want. If they prefer to have 512 icons on a small screen, they will scroll. If a single user wants to have 3×3=9 icons in on a 7680×2160 screen, then one would have 9.

This is my Home screen (32:9, 5120×1440). I have space for some more icons...

you can add more rows in about:config by changing browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesRows

not sure about columns though!
