When opening a new tab, I can't get it to show my most visited sites (browser.newtab.url does not show up in about:config)
Even when adjusting the settings on the cogwheel icon to 'show your top sites,' whenever I click the plus sign to add a new tab, it shows a strange browser bar instead of my most visited sites. I tried the about:config route, but browser.newtab.url does not show up. Could another third-party program be altering the browser?

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.
