Firefox updated to 41.0.2. My newtab profile was hijacked to provide suggested sites instead of the way I had it set up to just show google search. How to fix?
Firefox updated to 41.0.2 and broke my new tab setup.
My newtab used to simply bring up https://www.google.com but now the google webpage is hijacked. The search bar shows up but only as long as I leave suggestions turned on in the newtab options under the gearwheel. The only other option is a blank page which then ignores my newtab url setting that takes me to google.
How do I fix this in the new version of firefox so that a newtab takes me to https://google.com without hijacking the rest of the page?? No additional suggestions, no additional displays, just the same thing I would get if I started a new firefox browser session (or a different browser).
Thanks..

The browser.newtab.url pref is no longer supported in Firefox 41 and later, so you can no longer use this to set the new tab page.
You can look at this extension to set the new tab page:
- New Tab Override: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
You can set the new tab URL setting via the Options/Preferences of the extension on the about:addons page.
You can look at this extension if you use the home page as the new tab page.
- New Tab Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
Classic Theme Restorer includes this feature as well. In current CTR versions (1.3.9+) you find "New tab page url" in the Tabs (1) section.
You can use these special pages for the new tab page or use the URL of a web page. the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
- the default home page is about:home
- for a blank page you can use about:blank
- for Super Start you can use about:superstart
