When I open a new tab, it opens to the homepage. How do I get it to go to the newtab page without setting the newtab page as my homepage?
I can't find anything under tools>options to help me change my tabs. The part labeled 'tabs' has only a few check boxes. Where can I set what a new tab opens up to?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Type about:config into your address bar, press Enter. Accept the warning that pops up
Then, search for browser.newtab.url. You can either right click it and click "Modify" to put in a custom page, or Right click and click "Reset" to restore the default.
I checked, and it is already set as about:newtab, but opening a new tab still takes me to the homepage.
(Img 1 is about:config before any changes. Img 2 is a newly opened tab.)
Ok, go ahead and try to Reset this preference: browser.newtabpage.enabled
It's also already on the default 'true'
