Firefox 21.0
I have it set up to open Google as my home page, but when I click on a new tab it give me a new page with the history of all the website I have been on, how can I make that go away and have it open the home page when a new tab is open.
Anyeonw know how to fix this???

Whow! It would be fantastic if the newtab page would have a clickable question mark that redirects to this help page. When I search for help for Firefox, I never find anything useful on mozilla.org.

I don't want to hide the new tab page, I want to open with the same page as the home page.

I followed your suggestion, step 2 did not work so I tried step 1 and on my Win PC it worked.
I tried it on a second win7 pro 64bit PC and it did not work. I put the exact same thing on both.
I did notice on the sec PC a line that I highlighted on the screen shot that I do not see on the first PC that the fix worked.
I think that if I could delete it, it would work.
Any ideas on how to delete this line.
As I'm writing this the idea of reset Firefox comes to mind.

Noad, that second computer has an extension installed that looks to me like it's setting and controlling the new tab. It looks like crapware to me. If this were mine I would remove the extension and restart Firefox. You then should be able to set up the new tab as you did on computer one.

when you say crap ware, do you mean that's the name of app or just saying it's crape ware to remove it? if so which extension should I remove?
