How do I open a new tab to a blank page, instead of home page?
Currently when I open a new tab, it opens to my home page. I would like a new tab to open to a blank page instead, is there any way to have this happen? I am currently running beta version of Firefox 18.0 on Windows 7

If you are having trouble still, Reset Firefox, Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings, then try to edit the new tab again.

Type about:config into your address bar, press Enter. Accept the warning. Search for browser.newtab.url, right click it, and modify it to have the URL you want.
doesn't work. I changed the value from about:newtab to about:blank and when I open a new tab it still opens up my home page. Am I changing the wrong item? Thanks.

How are you opening as new tab? Are you clicking the plus button on the tab bar?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Thank you, Tylerdowner. A reset was all it took. Now I get the blank page I wanted. Thanks again.
