I am unable to see tab thumbnails (tabnails? ☺) on the new tab page. After asking few times on #firefox and getting no response, I am filing this bug as I suspect I am not the only one to face these issues. Please note that this issue occur to me on my daily active profile, and I can't reproduce it on a clean profile.

Please dupe if this is a known issue, as I was unable to find a similar issue.

I found these bugs (via https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ALL%20%22New%20tab%20page%22 ):
- disabled cache (doesn't seem to be your case) - bug 734952
- disabled "allow pages to choose their own colors" - bug 737877

A general bug about thumbnails missing is bug 726267, this is a duplicate of that, unless you figure out a specific reason for the thumbnails to go missing.

For instance, have you tried Safe mode? Backing up and resetting prefs.js?

Below is a copy of the comment I left in the other bug. As you can see, I got it fixed by resetting the cache, which means that something is probably wrong there.

I have similar issue and reported it on bug 740287. After making sure that both browser.display.use_document_colors and browser.cache.disk.enable are both true, I closed the browser and deleted the whole Cache folder from my profile. After starting the browser again I can see (for the first time) an image on my new tab page, which is gmail. I guess that the icons are now repopulating themselves, and soon enough I'll have thumbnails for every button on the page. 

This experiment can confirm that in my case it was something wrong with the caching mechanism. I still have a backup of my Cache, in case you have an idea what could cause it.
