How can I get back the "custom URL in new tab" functionality that I had in v 12 using new tab add-on?

I REALLY need this since I have written my own custom web directory which I use all day long. It seems that the new New Tab behavior should be OPTIONAL. I had to revert to version 12 because it adds a couple of clicks every time I request a new tab many, many times a day in my work. I was using the New Tab URL add-n and it does not override the new functionality.

If you want to open a new tab in a certain url (like www.google.com or another site) go to about:config find/type browser.newtab.url , double click on it (or right click on it and select modify) and type the url you want. Every time you open a new tab you open it in that url/site.
