Do you mean the page that shows when you open a new tab?
You can use a custom style rule to modify that page. The easiest way is to install the Stylish extension and then a user style posted by a forum volunteer. You can find the links in this post:
Add code to the userContent.css file.
@-moz-document url(about:newtab){ #newtab-margin-top, #newtab-search-container { display:none !important; } }
The customization files userContent.css (websites) and userChrome.css (user interface) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
- Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
- Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in this folder (the names are case sensitive)
- Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
- Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file
