How do I get back search block on new tab?

My previous versions of Firefox allowed me to open a new window and get a large, long search block in the middle of the new window. The option to enable this now seems to be missing. That is, when I open a new window now, it is completely blank. Is there any way to get the search block back? (I search a lot and use many words at times; these run out of the tiny search block in the toolbar.)

Chosen solution

You can check this pref on the about:config page to make sure that the new tab page is enabled.

  • browser.newtabpage.enabled = true

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
