How does one disable the 'Tiles' newtab screen???
Hello,
I've just updated my Firefox after a long while using a very old version which I really liked, but I thought I should give the new version a try. But, this new 'Tiles' newtab screen I just cannot get used to it, I really don't like it at all and I see from other posts I am not alone in my dislike, not alone at all! I want my old style back where I edit the 'browser.newtab.url', set it to my home page and away we go. This new Tiles page reminds me of the Windows 8 start menu, which as we all know everyone and their dog hates with a passion.
So, is there anyway I can disable this Tiles newtab page go back to my simple: 'browser.newtab.url' way???
Thanks for your help.

The browser.newtab.url pref is no longer supported in Firefox (41+), so it is no longer possible to set the new tab page via this pref.
You can look at this extension to set the new tab page:
- New Tab Override: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
You can set the new tab URL via the Options/Preferences of the extension on the about:addons page.
You can look at this extension if you use the home page as the new tab page.
- New Tab Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
Classic Theme Restorer includes this feature as well. You find "New tab page url" in the Tabs (2) section.
You can use pages like these:
- the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
- the default home page is about:home
- for a blank page use about:blank
- for Super Start use about:superstart
- use the URL of a web page
See the about:about page for available about pages.

Hey euphoria, thanks for coming to us for help!
to disable the tiles page you can go to "about:config"in firefox and set "browser.newtabpage.enabled" to false.
Sincerely, Kyle
Hi Kyle, thanks for the quick reply.
That does help in disabling the Tiles page, but how can I add/enable the 'browser.newtab.url' like it used to be in older versions, it seems to be missing now???
Regards
