New tab reset does not

I have a hijacking my new tab search engine and tried to go in the About: config, but every time I try and change the browser.newtab.url that will not change. Can someone help me solve this problem, I suspect that it is malware.

There are two ways to interpret your description:

  • you right-click > reset but instead of changing about: newtab (default setting), it remains the value to something
  • the preference is defined: newtab but Firefox shows a different page

Assuming that this is the second case, you can have an unwanted extension that is the substitution of your new tab page. Try this:

Disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

That help return you to the page of the new normal tab?

P.S., Chrome also has a page of extensions, someone in this menu of '3 '.
