Please explain why I am unable to set newtab url to www.google.co.uk I am using firefox 47
Please explain how to set newtab.url to www.google.co.uk This shows as setting in about:config but apparently this is no longer supported by Firefox above v41. I have tried suggested work arounds, eg addons-extensions but there is no field on the right side for New Tab Override and click its Options button, and no field on Ed Novaks page to enter url. The only way to bring up google is to click on Home button on toolbar. Many thanks David

With Firefox 41 (and higher), it's no longer possible to customize the page shown in a new tab via changing the preference browser.newtab.url in about.config. Because of the fact that hijackers abused the preference in the past, Mozilla decided to remove it (see bug 1118285). Fortunately, by removing it, Mozilla also introduced a new API to bring this functionality back to life as an add-on. This add-on allows the user to choose a certain page in a new tab.
New Tab Override (browser.newtab.url replacement) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
This is also available using Classic Theme Restorer (Customize Australis) {web link} Restore squared tabs, appmenu, add-ons bar, small button view and more on Australis UI (Windows/MacOSX/Linux + Fx 29+).
