is Top Sites (under new tab) limited to 2 rows (12 items)? I think old version had more.
Is new version limiting the number of Top Site items that can be displayed?
I sure thought that the old version allowed quite a few more. 2 rows (and lots of blank space) when I turn off pockets, etc seems stupid.
The controls do not appear to allow one to select more than 2 rows.

It's a bit hidden, but you can actually change this in the new version:
- type "about:config" in the address bar
- click the "I accept the risk" button
- In the search field at the top, type "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesCount"
- double-click the item that appears in the list
- enter the number 18 and click "OK".
You can actually have more than three rows if you want as well - entering 24 gives you 4 rows, 30 gives you 5 rows, etc.
Hope that helps!

It works EXCEPT every time Firefox updates it reverts back. Not good.
You can consider to use a user.js file to set this specific pref.
- user_pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesCount", 18);
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
Hey great, cor-el Thanks for that.
