When open a new tab, using "+", I want Firefox to open blank page. But it shows all my visited websites from browsing history. "Blank page" is with pictures-hyperlinks of those webpages! How to get normal blank page without pictures-hyperlinks of browsing history without deleting all of browsing history?

You can also change the browser.newtab.url pref to about:blank to get a new tab with a blank page with the browser.newtabpage.enabled pref set to true.
