I have found that answers such as: about:config > browser.newtab.url to be outdated which do not work.

Hi,

That preference was removed for security reasons - hijackers abused the pref. Maybe a similar preference will be available one day.

See : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1452144

Would you give this extension a try :
