I updated to Firefox 3.6.13 and now have no Web page previews/thumbnails when I open a new tab - how do I get them back?
Whenever I opened a new tab with older versions of Firefox 3.6.n, I would see thumbnails of some of the pages I'd visited before. I love this feature, but I do not know how to restore it after downloading and installing FF 3.6.13. What do I need to do to get this feature back? Is there a possible conflict with another add-on or toolbar? I have these toolbars: Google, The Free Dictionary, and Amazon.com. (The plug-ins you can see below.) Incidentally, the Firefox version displayed in the "educated guesses" section is not correct: it shows 3.0.11 and using the Help menu and choosing About Mozilla Firefox, it displays 3.6.13.

Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that Enable the Google new tab page is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar.

Or visit the Google Toolbar forum.

As far as your UserAgent showing Firefox 3.0.11, see this:

You might want to consider getting rid of that desktopsmiley program that has messed up your UserAgent, it is known as Malware.

Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions. You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets.
