Can't automatically open google when clicking the new tab button since the last Firefox update.
I was able to do this until the last update....I've gone through the procedure a few times since but to no avail....including adding the complete URL etc. The only suggestion so far is that 1 of my add-ons might be causing this, but I've still got the same ones as before (they are Adblock Edge, S3.Google Translator & Yet Another Smooth Scrolling)....this is frustrating!....and I'd love some help please....thanks.

Hi, for security reasons, from Firefox 41, you need to use an add-on like 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.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
