Out of nowhere, my "new tab" button starting showing tiles of my most frequently visited sites. All I want to pop up every time I open a new tab is a single website, just like my home page. Very frustrating that this does not seem easy to do. Can you please help me?

Hello daveup, yes it is new in 41.0, the browser.newtab.url being removed due to abuse by malware.

If you want to use your home page on the new tab then try the next add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

but If you want to set another page or a blank page on the new tab then try the next add-on.(you can also use this to set your home page, i have the same for my home page :-) https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/

thank you

ou can look at this extension to set the new tab page:

You can set the new tab URL setting via the Options/Preferences of the extension on the about:addons page.

Classic Theme Restorer includes this feature as well. In CTR version 1.3.9 you can find the "New tab page url" in the Tabs (1) window.

You can use these special pages for the new tab page or use the URL of a website.

  • the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
  • the default home page is about:home
  • for a blank page you can use about:blank
