What happened to the "most visited sites" thumbnails on a new tab?
In Firefox 4, when a new tab was opened, there were 9 (?) thumbnails for the most visited websites. Why was this feature disabled by default and how can I get the thumbnails back?

Most visited is one of the smart bookmark folders which are database queries.
Create a bookmark with the following properties:
- Name: Most Visited
- Location: place:redirectsMode=2&sort=8&maxResults=10

This brought back the "Most Visited" folder, which is not what I was looking for.
I was looking for the most visited thumbnail grid when opening up a new tab. It is possible though that this was a Google toolbar feature, and was not a Firefox built-in feature.
The feature I am talking about is similar to the "Speed Dial" add on and is a standard feature on Opera and Chrome.
The Google Toolbar has that feature
