Disable thumbnail page
I am not a computer programmer who knows what a Boleen page is. I need a step by step instruction on how to disable the new thumbnail page. I just want it to do what it used to do when I opened up a new page - go to my homepage. I am using OSX 10.9.5
Please assume I do not know anything what so ever and really break it down barney style.
This morning I never knew this feature existed. I got home from work and POW there are all these thumbnails similar to the Safari thumbnails that were very easy to turn off unlike the Firefox ones.

Type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key to open the about:config page like you open a website by typing the URL in the location bar.
- If you see a warning message then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page.

You can start typing browser.newtab.url in the search bar at the top to locate this pref. Open the right-click context menu and select Modify and change the value to your preferred new tab page. The default is the about:newtab page with the nine tiles with thumbnails. If you want a blank page then set the pref to about:blank
