Hello, confirm that. Bug indeed. Also in my 41.0a2 any change (site changes) in browser.newtab.url bring me to the about:newtab page.
thank you
To ...update, please see : The browser.newtab.url preference is abused and should be removed (Bug 1118285)
see also : Bug 1179101 - NewTabURL object doesn't work in mozilla.cfg configuration file
(please do not comment in bug reports)

Note that you can re-add support for the browser.newtab.url pref via this code in the mozilla.cfg file.
You can consider to use a modified pref name like browser.newtab.URL in order not to defeat this change.
//
try{
var newTabURL = getPref("browser.newtab.url");
Components.utils.import("resource:///modules/NewTabURL.jsm");
NewTabURL.override(newTabURL);
}
catch(e){}
Use this command in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) to set the new tab page from the browser.newtab.URL pref during Firefox runtime.
newTabURL = Cc["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"].getService(Ci.nsIPrefService)
.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIPrefBranch2).getCharPref("browser.newtab.url");
NewTabURL.override(newTabURL);
An extension that you can use instead:
- New Tab Override (browser.newtab.url replacement): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
