1462998 - Setting browser.newtabpage.enabled=True and browser.newtabpage.enhanced=False does not show classic newtab page

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, defect)

Description

[8arcena]

Attachment: newtabs-main.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180517113820

Steps to reproduce:

I set browser.newtabpage.enabled=True and browser.newtabpage.enhanced=False so that I could get classic newtabs page back. It was working before the upgrade to latest firefox. I am now on 60.0.1 (64-bit)


Actual results:

I did the upgrade to new firefox 60.0.1 (64-bit) on Ubuntu, then when I opened firefox my new tabs page looked different and it had these "top stores" and "top sites" things. Then I went to about:config to set browser.newtabpage.enabled=True and browser.newtabpage.enhanced=False to get my old new tabs page back and it didn't work. I also tried restarting firefox.


Expected results:

Old newtabs page should have appeared, the one with the bigger thumbnails.

Hi 8arcena,

I can't find the "browser.newtabpage.enhanced" in about:config, did you add it?

The classic newtab page has been removed from Firefox
