User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0 Build ID: 20170720163000 Steps to reproduce: I had a manual grid of 6 (col) x 4 (row) via browser.newtabpage.columns. browser.newtabpage.rows which worked pretty well, especially when using a Ultrawide monitor. Actual results: Since the roll out its ignoring my settings, is this intentional? Expected results: Allow users to have X/Y column sizing if they choose too please :)

It seems less likely that cols will be supported as the layout of elements other than Top Sites expect a particular width. For rows, the test pilot version at one point allowed switching between 1 row and 2 rows.
