How do I set new tabs to BLANK? Why did you remove that choice from me?

FF 5.0

There use to be an option to set new tabs to blank.

How do I do that now that you removed the option.

I tried the obvious (?) of setting the new tab to "about:blank" and it still comes up with what ever search engine is paying you money.

I even tried an add on to set it to blank. That didn't work either.

Are we no longer allowed to have a clean, fast loading new page?

-> click Firefox button -> go to Options -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show a Blank Page" -> click OK -> Restart Firefox

Check and tell if its working.

That isn't what I want.

I want FF to show the tabs that I had open.

I want *NEW* tabs to be blank.

I could do that up until this latest "update".

Firefox always Opens a New Tab in a Blank page. You must have some add-on installed that's making the new tab to not open as Blank.

-> click Firefox button and click Exit

-> Start Firefox in Safe Mode (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Firefox Safe Mode window will open. DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click Continue in Safe Mode

Check if the New Tabs are now opening as Blank pages while you are in Firefox Safe Mode.

-> The problem does not occur in Safe Mode

Check and tell if its working.
