When I open a new tab, it brings me automatically to a page with thumbnails of my most frequently visited sites. I want to make this page show upon startup, but I can't figure out how. I've tried setting it to bring up home page, with the homepage set as "about:newtab". I've tried going to about:config and changing browser.startup.homepage to "about:newtab". Neither of these options have worked, they simply don't have an effect. Is there another way to make it happen?

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
