In Firefox 13, the new tab page has 9 thumbnails which preview recently viewed sites.
How can I increase the number of thumbnails shown?
I tried in about:config
and couldn't find a relevant entry. Google also turned up nothing relevant.

Use New Tab Tools. It allows you to customize the number of thumbnails on new tab page.
Increasing the number of thumbnails isn't mentioned in the Firefox 13 New Tab Page feature documentation
The New Tab King extension does permit you to configure how many thumbnails you would like to view. The default is 3 rows of 4 but you can increase the number of rows.
I tried in about:config ...
The entries are under browser.newtabpage
for the column and row integer values. Simply Right-click and choose modify for the new value.
browser.newtabpage.columns // int val
browser.newtabpage.rows // int val
You can actually add something obscene like below (15*15)
Search the file /usr/lib/firefox/omni.ja/chrome/browser/content/browser/newtab/newTab.xul
Look for the lines with:
<div id="newtab-grid">
<div class="newtab-row">
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
</div>
<div class="newtab-row">
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
</div>
<div class="newtab-row">
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
</div>
</div>
For 4 thumbs per line, replace for:
<div id="newtab-grid">
<div class="newtab-row">
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
</div>
<div class="newtab-row">
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
</div>
<div class="newtab-row">
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
</div>
</div>
or add a
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
line for each
<div class="newtab-row">
block to get more thumbs per line. If you need some more rows, add an entire block
<div class="newtab-row">
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
</div>
taking care to leave the same number of lines
<div class="newtab-cell"/>
like the other blocks (for a complete matrix).
