Whenever I open a new tab, it opens aol.com. I want to go back to the thumbnails.

Hi, type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down to browser.newtab.url and change 'Value' to about:newtab (right click to change it, taking care not to alter anything else).

Hope that solves your problem.

See also this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
