How to make homepage BLANK?

more options

Sorry for my poor English, but here is my problem. When I open a new tab I want to see a BLANK page. Yes, just blank with nothing on it. But even if I set an about: blank page as default - new tab opens with nine preview pages just like in Opera. So here's the question: how to go back to firefox-style and make a blank homepage?

Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.

pref = browser.newtab.url

Right-click and select modify - put about:blank in the stringvalue dialog box.

Then restart Firefox.
