I want to have the "new tab" bring up my home page
New tab opens a "most visited" page with a Yahoo search box. I want to get my home page which is solely a Google search box. Yahoo search is not as good as Google. I get what I want with Google when Yahoo does not find it.

I do not see how to fix this.
The browser.newtab.url pref is no longer supported in Firefox 41 and later, so you can no longer use this to set the new tab page.
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 setting 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. In current CTR versions (1.3.9+) you find "New tab page url" in the Tabs (1) section.
You can use these special pages for the new tab page or use the URL of a web page. the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
- the default home page is about:home
- for a blank page you can use about:blank
