How to turn off Firefox's New Tab preview
Posted: Thu 30 Jan 2014, 03:25
I was fed up with those preview windows every time I open a new tab on firefox, So I looked into how to get rid of them and found this. Yes Yes you old hands ( linux geeks) will know this but I am posting this for the new people. This will work on both linux and windoze versions of firefox.
HowTo: Turn this feature off completely
In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter:
The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page. Type browser.newtab.url in the search box:
Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and change the url from about:newtab to about:blank Click OK and close the about:config tab.
