Can we have the newtab page as an option for the startup page?
When Firefox starts we currently have the choice of the home page, a blank page or windows and tabs from last time. Can we have the newtab page added to the drop down choices in >Options >General ? I don't need responses that provide work-arounds such as those listed in How do I set the startup page to the new tab page? thanks.

Easiest to start Firefox with a specific page like about:newtab is to create a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut and add this URL to the target line and use this shortcut to start Firefox.

Afgain not a proper answer to your question but please note we consider development decissions or feature requestes to be out of the scope of the forum. Developers do not normally see this forum
You may make a short comment using input and the aggregated and statistical results of that are made availble to developers.
For a few days after Firefox 29 some developers did answer a few questions and one is quoted in this post: /questions/998084#answer-566525
Each setting you see in a computer program you use requires work; when a developer wants to build something new or improve something, he or she has to go through each related (hidden) setting and test if it still works like before and do that on each platform Firefox runs on. That's Apple's Mac OSX, various flavours of Linux and various flavours of Windows, including Windows XP. This costs time, lots of it, and that amount grows exponentially with each setting that's added. This comes on top of our work to continuously fix, improve and innovate Firefox.
P.S. Thread was already locked by someone else
