browser.newtab.url was OK but has suddenly stopped opening a new tab on the requested page, it's blank instead - why?
browser.newtab.url was set to my home page, and worked for ages. Now, suddenly it opens on a blank page. browser.newtab.url setting has not chanhed - it is still set to the home page, but does not open it.

Hi, from Firefox 41, you need to use the add-on New Tab Override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the New Tab page.
Once installed, open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A) > Extensions, then look for New Tab Override and click on Options to set your preference.
Note, if you only want the New Tab to be the same as your Home page, you can use the add-on New Tab Homepage instead.
You may then need to restart Firefox for any changes to take effect.
