How to change the new tab Page in the menu of tiles?

I want tiles on my new page tabs instead of page white or any other search engine. Help, please

"Out of the box", new Firefox tab page shows tiles, based on your history, and you can replace with other sites if you wish.

Here's how you can change your new tab page:

(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

(2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

(3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

  • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
  • Blank tab = > subject: empty
  • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
  • Any other page = > full URL of the page

Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

The new integrated tab page, the "gear" icon should provide both classic and enhanced, that show tiles.

If the problems persist, some potential diagnoses and remedies:

If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system. This must be removed the control panel.

Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, take a critical look on the list on the right and turn off (or remove) something unknown.

If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder).

A little luck?
