You can do that by following these steps:

  1. Open about:config
  2. search for browser.newtabpage.enabled, right click and "reset"
  3. search for browser.newtab.url, right click and "reset"

Do you have your new tab page back now?

Since this sounds like a virus, I'd also suggest you remove it from your search engines (Remove a search engine) and make sure that no malware still exists on your computer, Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware
