new tabs top site is rubbish
The new top site tab page only shows 3 rows of 5 columbs. You need to be able to set to show how many you want. Have set rows to six in about:config but when you close Firefox and re open it sets back to 3 rows. Come on designers give us back some control of what we want not what you want to give us! Let us be able to set how many rows and columns we want to view even if icons become smaller and we have to scroll down. Because of this have had to revert to the old tabs page. Seems sometimes the more you upgrade the versions the worse it gets. Please don't fall into Microsofts ways and dictate to us what we need so take away user settings. We are intelligent and can work out how to use SETTINGS ourselves so please,please give us back setting so we can view our website the way we want!!!!

Hi, how about asking a question first before doing unknown things as well explain what you mean as this does not mean anything until it is put into context of a version or a add-on/extension.
Because of this have had to revert to the old tabs page.
This is a Firefox Support Forum, Not interested in Microsoft issues you may have as it does not work with me understanding your question. If you would like : To submit suggestions for new or changed features, may I suggest: Feedback: https://qsurvey.mozilla.com/s3/FirefoxInput/ as Mozilla Firefox Support Volunteers can not make changes to Firefox.
So if you had asked for information on the New Tab we could have helped you. Since you have turned off Send Info to Mozilla with in Firefox I have no information to help you with. Please consider turning it on before posting next time. So I have no idea if you have tried this or have it : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/

Current Firefox releases no longer use the column and row setting, but use a maximum setting for the number of tiles. Firefox will try to calculate this maximum from the column and row values, but will reset the row setting to 3 for some reason.
You can set this maximum via this pref on the about:config page.
- browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesCount
It is currently not possible with Activity Stream enabled to drag a bookmark or history item to a tile. With Activity Stream enabled there is the "Add" button in the window that opens if you click Edit. This replaces the old way to drag an item to a tile. Edit will appear above the tiles when you hover a tile. In Firefox 59 you can rearrange the tiles by dragging them to a new position.
