You can add about:newtab to the command line (target) in the Firefox desktop shortcut to open that page on startup.
- "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -new-tab about:newtab

hello, i don't think you can do it without setting "about:newtab" as homepage. that's what the homepage is for...
I now set "when firefox starts:Show a blank page" I want to know could I do something let new tab instead of this blank page……
hello, i'm not sure if i understood you correctly - you can do that by setting about:newtab as your homepage (but from your first post i thought you didn't want to do that)...

That is what I want,thanks. Thanks for madperson's help too.
This is a very annoying thing. Every update from Firefox resets this config setting back to about:newtab. I changed browser.newtab.url in 12.x to about:blank and it resetted back in update 13.0 and now I have to do the same thing again in 13.0.1.
The drawback with about:newtab is Firefox opens up dataports for every URL that are linked and gets reopened for every lame 'newtab' you click on. Just use Tcpview - data port viewer and watch how many extra dataports that opens up from this crazy 'feature'.
