• How can I get the default for the new tab page when there is no improved/classic/empty choises when I click on the gear icon.

  When I open a new tab, I used to get a page which had tiles for some of the sites I visit often. Now I get the Bing search page. The help of instructions say I can change the default new tab page by clicking on the gear on a new improved, classic, or blank page icon in a drop-down list. When I click on the train, I don't get this list of options. Instead, a settings page appears, allowing me to make various changes, but improved, classic or white new tab page choices aren't there. What should I do?

  To modify the new page tab, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to about:config in Firefox
  2. Locate the browser.newtab.url string
  3. Set the value of this string on the URL of your page to the desired tab

  This should change the new tab page.

  Notes:

  • Set the about:newtab to get the page of the new classic tab
  • Set the about:home to get the default home page
  • Set the about:blank to get the blank page

• Anti-spam with the new tab page...

  I hid the new tab page, and after I did I got spam whenever I opened a new tab... I changed the new tab to open the home page of firefox and it fixed the problem... However, I want to be able to open a blank tab...

  OK, so it seems that you have probably an add-on or malicious software on your computer, turning the tabs.

  Try resetting Firefox. Refresh Firefox – reset settings and Add-ons.

  Download and install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full scan. http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

  Then, follow the same steps that I posted above to change the tab to a new page.

• 41 of Firefox. Stop posting the story on the new tab. I want the new tab to display Google as my home page. In this way, and something changed.

  I'm on firefox 41. When I select a new tab, I get displayed story. This has changed today. I don't know what I changed to create this problem. He has always displayed Google as my homepage with no history and no new proposed apps. How can I get that back to this point. Firefox deleting then reinstalling would resolve the issue.

  Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use an add-on like tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the page tab.

  Once installed, open the Add-ons (Ctrl + Shift + A) Manager > Extensions, and then look for the new tab override and click Options to set your preference.

  Note, if you want only the new tab to be the same as your home page, you can use the Add on new tab homepage instead.

  You will then need to restart Firefox for all changes to take effect.
