Hello brad821228, yes from 41 the browser.newtab.url preference is abused and should be removed (bug Bug 1118285)
try to install the next add-on : New Tab Override (browser.newtab.url replacement), and after that, modify (double-click on it) the next preference
- extensions.newtaboverride@agenedia.com.url
to https://www.google.com.tw/ OR any other url you want
probably now you are able to see your url in the new tab page. :-)
thank you
