You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

You probably have set this pref: browser.newtab.url = about:blank

Your second screenshot show the New Tab button on the toolbar, just above the tab bar.
So it looks that Firefox has been customized and this button has been moved to the tab bar to the other toolbar.
Firefox only show the new tab button on one toolbar.
