in this case you can either install the searchreset addon to get rid of the problem or manually reset the page that opens on each new tab.
enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named browser.newtab.url and double-click & change its value to about:newtab.

please make sure that you're not deleting your browser history & cache: The thumbnails on the new tab page are missing - how to get them back
Not deleting history or cache. Opening new tab results in completely blank page.

That fixed the problem. THANKS!
I'm having the same problem, with a totally blank new tab. Neither the searchreset addon nor the about:config option helped. Using Firefox 19.0 under Win XP.
Any other ideas?
Just noticed that my homepage was also reset - maybe by 'startreset'? The browsing history is still there, however.
Does it help if you open the about:newtab page directly?
Are there any (empty) slots on the about:newtab page?
If the page is blank and there is a (possibly faint) grid icon in the top right corner then click that icon in case the new tab page is hidden (pref browser.newtabpage.enabled = true).
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.
No empty slots, but you were right about the grid icon. Thanks!
You're welcome
