The pins that were added in version 139 (Linux) to mark which sites are pinned on the "New Tab" page, should have an OPTION to only show up ON HOVER. They make the page look ugly and uninviting. I spent some time looking for nice icons for websites I go to daily, then Firefox decides to spoil it one day by driving a push-pin into each.
I guess I will have to save the new tab page as html, remove those pins, and make it my home and new tab page. Then I can mess with the design to my heart's content - except I don't have TIME for this nonsense.
