New Tab Mix should do the trick. It is loaded with many features.

I am a long time Tab Mix Plus user. I know of no option in Tab Mix Plus to open a new tab to a specific page. Can you tell me where that option is in Tab Mix Plus??

OK, I overlooked, that, but I genereally want just a blank page and will never use that feature. For the purpose of the original poster's question, Tab Mix Plus is a little to "heavy" of an add-on to perform that one function.
