Note that you can re-add support for the browser.newtab.url pref via this code in the mozilla.cfg file.

You can consider to use a modified pref name like browser.newtab.URL in order not to defeat this change.

//
try{
 var newTabURL = getPref("browser.newtab.url");
 Components.utils.import("resource:///modules/NewTabURL.jsm");
 NewTabURL.override(newTabURL);
}
catch(e){}

Use this command in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) to set the new tab page from the browser.newtab.URL pref during Firefox runtime.

newTabURL = Cc["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"].getService(Ci.nsIPrefService)
.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIPrefBranch2).getCharPref("browser.newtab.url");
NewTabURL.override(newTabURL);

An extension that you can use instead:
