ThinApp Helper

Not sure how useful this old app is to people but I noticed it was not available anymore from the developer CIS. Other sites only linked to the original dead website it was linked to an even older dead website.
Finally I found it on some tucked away Chinese site so I thought I'd share it to help keep it alive. I had never used it before so unsure if it's compatible with more recent versions of ThinApp.

The last version was 4.0.3.0

Firefox show more Top Sites

Well I took the plunge and updated to the latest Firefox (59.03) and so far I like it. Only reason I had not changed was because the multirow bookmarks addon was not compatible with the new version of Firefox. Will have to fight with my bookmarks until a good addon is available.

What I did not like though was the Top Sites page and the limit of 12. All that empty space was getting to me. Luckily I stumbled on some help to get more Top Sites showing.
Here's how it's done.

Enter the following into your address bar and hit enter
about:config

You will get a warning so to continue click "I accept the risk"

Scroll down until you find this bit,
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesCount

Now change the 12 to something you want. I went with 18 for now.
Looks much better than the default 12.

It would be great to add more columns but I have not found a way yet.
