How do I change the default site for a new tab?
I want to change the page that opens when I open a new tab. I followed the answer that was given for the "how do I change which website that opens when I open a new tab?" question (4/5/14, given by ideato to emmafrom), without success.
(The steps advised were:
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. copy and paste in the search field browser.newtab.url double-click on it and type the web page you want Click OK, and you are OK. !)
As mentioned, this did not work. I still get a bing search page for a new tab, regardless.
Please advise.

Hello, please see this: Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and fix problems
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.
