When I click the + sign in Firefox to create a new tab a blank page is generated as opposed to seeing recently visited websites etc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox to no avail and have the latest version of Firefox. Can someone help please?

hi, please try this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.newtabpage.enabled - right-click and reset that entry to the default value.
