Recently and in past google homepage with mozilla firefox is showing recent tiles. I just want the plain google page with search bar about center. I have tried different things. How do I accomplish the plain google homepage with search bar about center again? Don't like the tiles or the blank tiles.

The 'tabs' on that page are auto created by how many times the web pages are accessed by the browser.
What you can do is place the Google home page on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
The browser.newtab.url pref is no longer supported in Firefox (41+), so it is no longer possible to set the new tab page via this pref.
You can look at this extension to set the new tab page:
- New Tab Override: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
You can set the new tab URL via the Options/Preferences of the extension on the about:addons page.
You can look at this extension if you use the home page as the new tab page.
- New Tab Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
Classic Theme Restorer includes this feature as well. You find "New tab page url" in the Tabs (2) section.
You can use pages like these:
- the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
- the default home page is about:home
- for a blank page use about:blank
- for Super Start use about:superstart
- use the URL of a web page
See the about:about page for available about pages.
