Firefox thumbnails gone

-null- · 17-12-09, 07:58 AM

I upgraded to FF 3.5.6 last night and now the thumbnails and details of recently visited sites that would appear when you opened a tab have gone. I quite liked this feature, it was handy

Anyone know if it'll be making a comeback. I think it was actually the google toolbar that did it so does google usually update the toolbar to "fix" things browser updates break.

Try to right click somewhere on the navigation bar and check 'Bookmarks Toolbar' if its unchecked

Found the solution. I had to re-enable the google new tab page in the add on options. The browser update must have switched it off.

How do you get this? Is there an add-on?

I liked this feature in Chrome, but didn't know it was available in FF too.

It's part of the google toolbar. Install that and go into it's options and tick the "Enable the Google new tab page" box.

Ok, don't really want to install the Google toolbar. Had it before and found it annoying.
