I want set my new tab page to open a local file. The same local file is also used for my home page. Until recently, I used the new tab extension to do this, however that stopped working.

There are many existing posts out there regarding this, so it seems it is a desired feature. However, none of the posts are applicable to the latest configuration 119.0 (October 2023).

Is there a way to force the new tab to open a local file? Or open the home page (which is also a local file)?

Windows 11 Pro, Firefox 119.0 (64-bit)

The only way to do this is via a autoconfig.cfg file (AboutNewTab.newTabURL).
