So I ended up downloading something and it changed my 'new tab' look. Before it was Firefox's feature of showing the thumbnails for my most visited sites and I had all of my school work shortcuts pinned on there and i want it back! I can only find advice on how to disable it but not to enable it or turn it back on. Please help. I want this feature back! Thanks in advance :(

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.

please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there. finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
