So I use the newtabs page all the time, infact everytime I open firefox but I have opened newtabs page this morning and none of my pages are there at all and I haven't click "Hide new tabs page". All that is on the newtabs page is that new searchbar but thats not working for searches either.

Thank you for you quick responses @cor-el but I have managed to fix this issue myself.

I typed > about:support into my address bar

I then reset firefox to its default state which resolved my problem.

maybe you can use this information to further help other.

Many thanks - Rob

Do you still see empty tiles on the about:newtab page?

Can you drag any bookmarks or history item in one of the tiles?

Does the search bar has the Google logo next to it?

Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.

  • browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile
  • browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":

  • do not clear the Cache
  • do not clear the Browsing History

I dont see tiles full stop, which is the worring part.

I cant drag book marks to the tiles are there arn't any and the bookmarks just opens the page that I drag.

The search bar has no google logo.

Firefox is set to remember history.

about:newtab just shows the same empty page as clicking the +.

I took a screenshot of my page to give you a better understanding of what it currently looks like > My screenshot of my about:newtabs

Are there any errors in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) that could be related to this?

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.

If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.

  • Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.

Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"

Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
