How to rearange bookmarks layout in new/home tab?

more options

Hello,

Up until today my bookmarks in new tab looked like this - https://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers_years/2012_1/firefox-13-new-tab-preview.jpg except 3 rows with 4 columns. Now there are 2 rows, 6 columns of extremely small bookmarks. How to roll back to big and nice looking bookmarks? My elderly parent's say new look is broken and why fix something that wasn't broken. This change causes huge usability problems for them.

Edit: Fixed by disabling switching from beta build back to 59. But now I know issue will reemerge when 60 will be stable.

Regards, Ramrr

Hi Ramrr, I don't know why the top sites thumbnails are small now. ?? The "real" thumbnail images are still captured in a fairly large size, so it is possible to restyle the page using custom style rules in a userContent.css file.

Someone else asked about this the other day, so I started a discuss on it over on Reddit:

You could bookmark that thread for future reference, or I'm sure you'll see other (better) approaches suggested as Firefox 60 gets closer to release.
