Where is the image file located?

Can you post the full content of the code that you used?

Did you use Stylish or placed the code in userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line?

The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

/* Set a wallpaper for the about:newtab page*/ @-moz-document url("about:newtab") { 

#newtab-scrollbox{
 background: url("file:///c:/machu.jpg") no-repeat !important ;
 background-size: 100% !important;
}

}
