Hello,
The New Tab has the feature of Top Sites where you can have links of your favorite sites for easy access.
The first page of Top Sites can have 12 links and if you want more you can add them in the second page.
My problem is when there are more than one pages, it is not easy to navigate between them because the two dots under the links are too small and you might press the links above them accidentally which can be irritating.
It would be much better if instead of those two little dots, we had bigger arrows to navigate between the pages, or if one page could have a lot more links (like 24).
I have attached a photo that shows how two arrows instead of dots could look like.

On what OS are you on?
Do you need to actually press on those dots are just hover over them to move to the next panel?
Also, good feature request from UX perspective.
I agree, I think these should be more pronounced and/or easier to see and click. I’ve forwarded this suggestion to the team for review.
I’ve gone ahead and filed an issue on our Github to address this — great catch and suggestion

## Description
When there are more than 12 favorites on the top site page, you have to click on these tiny little dots to swap between pages. While I personally think it looks nice and minimal, they are also:
- Hard to see sometimes in general, but definitely harder depending on the NTP background image being shown at the time
- Can sometimes be hard to press — when testing I accidentally clicked on one of the links/sites instead of the dot itself

Suggestions:
- Change icon shape from the small dots to perhaps "arrow" icon of some kind
- Move buttons slightly further away from icons to prevent unintentional/accidental clicks
- Align buttons to center of widget space
