I want my new tab to go to google. What you have done is horrible. Now I have to click twice to get to google in a new tab. I've always had my tab set in about:config - browser.newtab.url;https:www.google.com But this is being overridden by some new thing you did like the android one which i also hate. PLEASE HELP me set it so new tab goes to google. Thank you

Firefox 41 no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about:config because it was constantly attacked by malware. Starting in Firefox 41, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

Here are some options (I learn of more all the time):

  • If you already use the Classic Theme Restorer extension: There is an option somewhere (!) in its extensive settings dialogs to select a different new tab page.

Please only use one of these methods at a time, otherwise there may be conflicts and dysfunctionality.

Setting up New Tab Override

After installing this extension, you need to use its Options page to set the desired new tab page (instead of using about:config).

Open the Add-ons page using either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Cmd+Shift+a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the right side, find New Tab Override and click its Options button. (See first screen shot attached.)

Depending on the height of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the desired address into the form. (See second screen shot attached.) For example:

  • Page thumbnails (default) => about:newtab
  • Blank tab => about:blank
  • Built-in Firefox home page => about:home
  • Any other page => full URL to the page

Then tab or click away from that form field and you can test using Ctrl+t.

Success?

Once you have it set the way you want, you can close the Add-ons page (or use the Back button to return to the Extensions list from that Options page).

"If you want to set a different page or a completely blank page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/ "

That did the job, thanks. Still don't think they needed to change the overall look of tabs but I guess the use of add-ons as opposed to user configuration is they way Firefox is going. (I never have had my newtab url setting attacked by malware)
