Is there a setting where I can limit the number of thumbnails / websites that appear on the new tab page? When I open a new Tab - I don't want to see tons of sites that I have visited - but I also do not want all of them deleted. For example - is there a setting where the new tab page will display the last ten sites I have visited - plus all of my pinned sites?

There are two "hidden" settings for that "grid".

browser.newtabpage.columns
and
browser.newtabpage.rows

Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.
Then put browser.newtabpage. in the Search bar at the top.

Right-click each of those preferences in the lower panel and select Modify. Then change the default value of 3 for each of those preferences to what you prefer, for the total of both "pinned" sites and browsing history that you want to appear in the "grid".

Note that you can also drag a bookmarks or history item in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin this page and have them available for easy access.
