I don't like the "new tab" and want to uninstall it. Before the latest update when I opened a new tab, Superstart would display. I want to go back to that.

The browser.newtab.url pref is no longer supported in Firefox 41 and later, so you can no longer use this to set the new tab page.

You can look at this extension to set the new tab page:

You can set the new tab URL setting via the Options/Preferences of the extension on the about:addons page.

Look at this extension to use the home page:

Classic Theme Restorer includes this feature as well. In CTR version 1.3.9 you can find the "New tab page url" in the Tabs (1) window.

You can use these special pages for the new tab page or use the URL of a web page.

  • the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
  • the default home page is about:home
  • for a blank page you can use about:blank
  • for Super Start you can use about:superstart as the new tab page

I am having the same problem. Surely if they don't fix it fast i will probably change to other internet explorer. Superstart is my favorite plugin and they will not force me to use their crappy new tab thing.

That is not really a fix that's only us having to install more plugins of something that is supposed to be in Firefox already. But oh well i guess its the best you can do. Thank you anyway
