Hi emmacoIn, try the next :

  1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
  3. copy the next bold preference browser.newtab.url and paste it in the search field
  4. right-click on it and choose Reset
  5. close the about:config page, exit firefox and restart it.

thank you
