I've changed the status of this old bug to Fix Released because I can't
reproduce it in the current version of Firefox (34.0). It was probably
unknowingly fixed at some point during the two years since it was
reported on Firefox 16.0 and 17.0. A lot of code changes in two years.

Title:
  New Tab only displays the thumbnail of the first visited website of
  the current session despite all thumbnails being correctly generated

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Invalid
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
  Firefox package version: 16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1

  Hi,

  I'm using Firefox 16.0.2 on an up-to-date Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, and my
  settings are to clear history/cache when Firefox closes. In these
  conditions, about:newtab is supposed to display thumbnails of the most
  visited websites of the current session (according to fixed bugs
  744388 and 736724 in Mozilla Bugzilla).

  The behavior I observe is that about:newtab only displays the
  thumbnail of the first visited website of the current session, in top-
  left position. The eight other thumbnails remain blank (no text, no
  image). Yet thumbnails are correctly generated and saved in the
  "thumbnails" directory in my profile directory.

  In the attached picture, I've opened www.omgubuntu.co.uk,
  www.nytimes.com, boards.4chan.org/b, www.perdu.com, about:newtab in
  five different tabs, in that order, in a new session, with all
  addons/plugins/language packs deactivated. I've waited for each
  webpage to load completely before opening the next one. None of these
  websites uses HTTPS or Cache-Control: no-store/no-cache.

  Only the first visited website gets a thumbnail in about:newtab,
  despite thumbnails for all websites appearing in the "thumbnails"
  directory. The same behavior occurs when starting Firefox in Safe
  Mode.

  Can anybody reproduce this behavior? What additional info could I
  provide for it to be triaged and fixed? Should I report it upstream?
