When I open a tab I see all these boxes that seem to be all the pages I have visited. I don't want to see that. I have searched and keep finding something about (boolean??) but I can't even find where to find that. How do I stop the history boxes of showing up? Please make this step by step idiot proof. I really need that! :) So if you say go to access please tell me where access is. Thanks so much for you help.

You see the new tab page when you open a new tab.

In the upper-right corner of that window, click on the grid image to hide those 3 x 3 boxes that are showing your "top sites".

Note that you can set the new tab page to any URL that you want and if you prefer a blank page the use about:blank.

  • about:config page: browser.newtab.url = about:blank

You can create this Boolean pref on the about:config page to prevent Firefox from generating thumbnails for the about:newtab page.

  • name: browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled
    value: true

Delete the thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder to remove already stored web page thumbnails.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
