I removed all the add-ons related to Iminent, yet I still go to Start Search whenever I open a new tab. Is there any possible way to fix this?

Hi,

I didn't understand where I should type about:config in URL and filter for after as you say to do 

   browser.newtab.url and change the value as about:newtab

Could you please be more precise. I'm a beginner

Thanks a lot Ateneu
