There were some downstair control dynamics in the latest upgrade.
After the latest upgrade Firefox began ignoring value of "browser.newtab.url" config line; and on that newtab appeared "control newtab" bar, which actually does not give any control. How we gonna deal with that?

In Firefox 41 that browser.newtab.url pref is gone. That pref was being abused by malware so frequently that Mozilla decided to remove that pref to eliminate that type of hijack. You will need an extension such as this to restore it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
Or for having your homepage as the new tab page, try this extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
If you are using Classic Theme Restorer, go into CTR options > Tabs (1) section and set your preference for the new tab URL there.
For Super Start you can use the about:superstart page.
