How do I get default for new tab page when there's no enhanced/classic/blank choises when I click the gear icon.
When I opened a new tab, I used to get a page that had tiles for some of the sites I visit often. Now I get the Bing search page. The help instructions say I can change the default new tab page by clicking the gear icon on a new page and selecting enhanced, classic, or blank from a drop down list. When I click the gear, I don't get that option list. Instead, a settings page displays, allowing me to make various changes, but the enhanced, classic or blank new tab page choices are not there. What do I do?

Thank you very much. That worked great. The only thing I would add to the instructions is to double click on the browser.newtab.url string and key the new value into the popup window. Otherwise, the instructions are very clear.
Thank you for the suggestion and thank you for contacting the Mozilla support team. Have a great holiday.
