I'd like to add my own custom thumbnails to the sites that are being displayed at the new tab page (There are also pinned bookmarks). If this is not possible,maybe I can refresh them somehow,I tried deleting chache.

Sorry, I posted the link to the wrong extension.

Use this one instead:

There is a tools button in the top right corner to access the new tab page settings.

Hi, I just did a quick experiment on the about:newtab page and removed some of the tiles. It looks like it just adds new ones. Clearing the cache could start fresh for the top sites, however you mentioned you already tried this.

Deleteing the places.sqlite file will delete all history and bookmarks (you can export your bookmarks from the bookmarks manager before you do this for back up) and check out the newtab page (it should be blank)

Do you mean to pin specific websites to tiles or do you want to use a thumbnail of your choice for each tile regardless of what Firefox generates from the cache?
