How to disable newtab redirection to offlinetab.firefoxchina just let me use about:newtab
Every time when I click the plus button right beside my opening tabs, I will be redirected to http://offlintab.firefoxchina.cn/ which is a quite ugly page. Can I disable this? I just want to use about:newtab. By the way, when I type about:newtab in address bar, I can visit that page.

What do you think about disabling this extension: Firefox Homepage?
You can view, disable, and often remove unwanted or unknown extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
- type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return
In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right side. If in doubt, disable.
Any improvement?

While I don't think it is caused by any malware, since I am redirected to a site seems related to mozilla. I guess that is done by firefox itself. Maybe the malware is a part of China version firefox : ( The new tab override addon is great, but I just want to use default about:newtab. I can't do this through the addon
Yes we know. And you need to check for malware. That should not be happening. Mozilla does not redirect people to China.
See if this helps with getting video card drivers

Thanks for all you guys help! It is caused by the firefox homepage extension. I didn't even notice I have this.
