Is there any way of just uninstalling this new feature from the latest update of do i have to uninstall the whole update. how do i do either of these???? please help!!! thanks Alex

Have you tried the update to Fast Dial, version 4.2.1 or later? It should override the built-in new tab page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fast-dial-5721/ (Note: I haven't tested it myself)

If you are using a similar add-on that isn't the same "Fast Dial", which one is it?
