When I click on the open new tab "+" what I open to is the Amazon search page. The URL Of the page is;

www.amazon.com/websearch/ref=bit_bds-p23_serp_ff_us_display?ie=UTF8&tagbase=bds-p23&tbrId=v1_abb-channel-23_f7847e52c2fb4b3381f5107c4adc5722_39_1006_20140323_US_ff_nt_dcomnew-util-728

The grid that should be in the upper right corner to reset the page is not on the page with the above URL. How do I reset to normal Firefox?.

There's a hidden setting for new tabs. Here's how to access it:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter your preferred page:

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

Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

You may have or had an extension that changed this pref because the System Details List also shows a no longer supported keyword.URL pref with the same value as the browser.newtab.url pref.

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