Why can't I change new tab address?
I downloaded a swagbucks toolbar and it has been a pain ever since. Now when i open new tabs it goes to swagbucks website.
i followed these directions below, but it did not work. What else can I do to change to address my new tab goes to? thanks in advance...........
In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page. Type browser.newtab.url in the search box. Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and change the url to about:blank
Click OK and close the about:config tab.

Your extensions list shows the SwagButton 219 ([email protected]) extension.
Do you want to keep this extension or do you want to remove it?
The browser.newtab.url pref is no longer supported in Firefox (41+), so it is no longer possible to set the new tab page via a pref.
You can look at this extension to set the new tab page:
- New Tab Override: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
You can set the new tab URL via the Options/Preferences of the extension on the about:addons page.
You can look at this extension if you use the home page as the new tab page.
- New Tab Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
Classic Theme Restorer includes this feature as well. You find "New tab page url" in the Tabs (2) section.
You can use pages like these:
- the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
- the default home page is about:home
- for a blank page use about:blank
- use the URL of a web page
See the about:about page for available about pages.
