Get a Donate Page everytime I open a new Tab
For a few days now everytime I open a new tab in Firefox I go straight to a Donations Page instead of my Homepage which is set to Google

I've also just updated one of my Add-Ons.... This one:
New Tab Override (browser.newtab.url replacement) 6.0 .... I previously had v5.0
I've restarted again and all seems ok now

Hi ninanina123, let me ask you for a little more information:
New window - home page
When you launch a new window (using the menu or Command+n) you should see your home page, Google. If you don't, could you check the setting: How to set the home page.
New tab - thumbnails
When you launch a new tab (using the menu, the "+" button on the tab bar, or Command+t), you normally set Firefox's new tab page, which has a search box and thumbnail images of pages from your history. If you get a different page, most likely an add-on is customizing it.
Was that the new tab page you had before this problem started, or were you using an add-on to switch the page to Google?
Thanks jscher2000. Yes I use an add-on to switch the new tab to use my homepage, which I have set as Google. I've double checked Preferences and nothing has changed there
However I did just click on 'Home Page'/'Restore to Default' and then back to use Google again and for some reason my New Tab now works as it should and opens Google... very odd...
I just re-started the Mac and it has gone back to giving me the Donate Page for a new Tab.... strange
Think I've found the problem... Under 'Menu' I noticed an item called 'Tab Settings' and when I click on that I get a page I've never seen before as follows...
Under 'Option' it had something like about:blank so I changed that to Homepage and it seems to be fine now...
Can anyone tell me what this page 'Tab Settings' is all about and can I get rid of it?
This page has "kontakt@agenedia.com" on it

I'm glad you figured that out. Hopefully the new version will be stable and hold your setting!
If there is an ongoing issue, there is a simpler add-on you could use since you want your home page on the new tab:
