I don’t know how many times already I’ve had to remove this, and now nothing seems to work anymore. Setting browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-b to false should work, I guess, but it doesn’t.
Edit: shishka_b0b has posted a solution (as for enlarging the quick link icons, I forgot the simplest solution - zooming in the page)
You’re making it sound like “new tab” isn’t a thing one uses a lot? I have a bunch of shortcuts there and it’s stupid that area that could be used on them is wasted on something so useless. Admittedly this variant is better than the previous attempts to force the logo there that I had reverted (twice), because those were really dogshit - reducing the size of the shortcuts and/or pushing them down outside of the screen - and now at least everything fits on one screen, and the shortcuts are less reduced, though they used to be bigger.
Actually I guess I want to revert to the old style entirely. Big shortcuts, no logo (or an easily removable logo).
Sadly I’m not competent enough to do either of these, I have no idea how CSS could affect this or be applied, and removing it from the source and recompiling sounds like killing a fly with a cannon.
Well at least we are narrowing down the issue! I thought you didn’t like it when a tab had the logo in it when it was a new tab. But you mean the short cut screen right?
I never really see mine I always just open where I left off. I will have to take a look.
I mean the default new tab, with the logo, search bar (which I removed because I can just search from the URL bar), and the quick links that automatically get populated with your most visited sites.
Btw an another user posted a solution, turns out removing it through CSS isn’t that complicated (when a stranger provides you with the code, at least).
