Opning a new tab gives a blank screen instead of my home page (which it showed last week). How can I fix this?
There no longer seems to be an option to set the default page for a new tab. I would like it to default to my home page as it used to. I have gone on the user forum & followed advice to install a "Newtaburl" but this didn't work.

Hi, from Firefox 41, you need to use an add-on like New Tab Override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the New Tab page.
Once installed, open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A) > Extensions, then look for New Tab Override and click on Options to set your preference.
Note, if you only want the New Tab to be the same as your Home page, you can use the add-on New Tab Homepage instead.
You may then need to restart Firefox for any changes to take effect.
