Hi,

I need to disable the Top Sites section where facebook/youtube etc. buttons are shown. In short I want every new window and every new tab shown on the browser to show a blank page (about:blank) for all users, and this needs to be configured at install time.

I am using a policies.jason file during installation to control certain aspects, but there is no setting to do what I am trying to do. Is there any way?

I am using Firefox 78.3.1 ESR. Thanks in advance!

When you open a new window then you get the homepage, so you need to set the homepage to a blank page (about:blank).
