Why is it so hard to get this browser to simply open new tabs in google?

Google is defined as home page under general settings, Google is in the browsernewtab.url, Include suggested sites is unchecked, and this thing opens nevertheless each new tab to this darn annoying screen with tiles everywhere. This ignorance began once the Fire Fox has been updated (41.0) before he did exactly as I wanted it? I will never understand how to complete this task in an IE browser, simply type in "options". Where as with your browser, it takes an act of God squirrels to do something so simple. What gives?

Fortunately, the divine intervention is not necessary.

41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

  • If you are already using the extension classic restaurateur theme: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.

Setting up substitute again tab

After installing this extension, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

Open the page modules using either:

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

In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab override and click the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

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

Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

Success?

Once you have set it as you wish, you can close the Add-ons page (or use the back button to return to the list of Extensions of this Options page).
