Sorry for my poor English, but here is my problem. When I open a new tab I want to see a BLANK page. Yes, just blank with nothing on it. But even if I set an about: blank page as default - new tab opens with nine preview pages just like in Opera. So here's the question: how to go back to firefox-style and make a blank homepage?

Hello. This tells you how to turn it off using the interface, or if you prefer, how to code it so that it's off for good http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites#w_how-do-i-turn-the-new-tab-page-off

Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.

pref = browser.newtab.url

Right-click and select modify - put about:blank in the stringvalue dialog box.

Then restart Firefox.
