Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
@iamjayakumars...thank you...it really helped!
Note that such a chrome URL shows a problem with an installed extension (Firefox uses the chrome protocol to access built-in files and files used by extensions).
In this case a quick_start related extension is involved (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions).
- chrome://quick_start/content/index.html
Solve the problem chrome://quick_start/content/index.html
1- Inside Box Title: about:config 2- Find: browser.newtab.url 3- Change it to: about:newtab
enjoy ....
