When telling Firefox to open a new tab, it goes to Ask.com home page where I must enter a web site or do a search. I don't want to go to Ask.com when opening a new blank tab, and I have had some slowness and crashing of Firefox since Ask got into to mix. How do I avoid a new tab going to Ask.com?

With Firefox 41 (and higher), it's no longer possible to customize the page shown in a new tab via changing the preference browser.newtab.url in about.config. Because of the fact that hijackers abused the preference in the past, Mozilla decided to remove it (see bug 1118285). Fortunately, by removing it, Mozilla also introduced a new API to bring this functionality back to life as an add-on. This add-on allows the user to choose a certain page in a new tab.

This is also available using Classic Theme Restorer (Customize Australis) {web link} Restore squared tabs, appmenu, add-ons bar, small button view and more on Australis UI (Windows/MacOSX/Linux + Fx 29+).
