My New Tabs is going to a Blank Page instead of about:newtab. I didn't do anything to change it, and can't seem to get it back to the default.

Just what it says up top. I've made about:newtab my homepage as a temporary work around, but would prefer my new tab to be that again, instead of a blank page. Thanks.

Chosen solution

type "about:config" in your urlbar and press enter type "newtab" in the filter area

make sure the value for "browser.newtab.url" is "about:newtab", if not, right click entry to reset it.
