I've set "browser.newtab.url" parameter to "about:blank" in Firefox Developer Edition, but it still opens a "about:newtab" page. I'd like to see about:blank (not that I don't like about:newtab, my MultiFox add-on doesn't work without about:blank). Thank you.

Hi, from firefox 41 you need to use the New Tab Override (browser.newtab.url replacement) to make changes to the New Tab.

Thank you, it works. Unfortunately, turned out it doesn't fix MultiFox, but I'll ask author about that.
