Hello markshiro, if i understand clearly, when you open the browser the only you can see is a blank page, and if you click a new tab(am i correct or a new window ?) then you see your home page.

the start page of the browser and the new tab is different.

see how to set the homepage when you start the browser: How to set the home page

and see how to set the new tab page : New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites

thank you

This is an annoying problem that Firefox should fix once and for all. I had fixed it on another computer running Firefox but couldn't remember so spent 2 hours trying all the suggestions which non worked. I have Google as my homepage, i want Google when I open a new tab...but bing kept opening as default in new tabs. so I disabled all the add-ons that seem to be cancelling each other out. 1. set homepage to Google via options...general 2. only enable new tab homepage 0.4.3 - 3. only other add-ons I enable are adblock plus 2.2.2, adblock plus pop-up addon 0.6

jp please post a new question after you try Resetting Firefox Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings

This is exactly how to fix the problem.

Sorry but this didnt help. What happens is When I open firefox instead of going to my homepage which I set to Google.com via the options. It just opens a blank tab. Before if I opened firefox there was no tab unless I clicked on the little plus sign. It clearly states New Tab on the first thing when opened.I tried the

New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites#w_how-do-i-turn-the-new-tab-page-off. Did exactly as told but when I turn on firefox, same old thing. Now the weird part is if I open firefox I get what I just described, it opens with a blank new tab. But if I leave that instance open and open a 2nd browser, it opens to Google and looks fine! Very irritating . Also If I change the home page to Firefox homepage it works fine everytime. Seems they only want me going to thier page.

Strange. I followed the instructions exactly but, I used my home page which was Google News. Worked perfectly.

Worked for me and my home page is set to Google news. Yes, it is strange. I'm sorry this didn't work for you.

I found a cure. I dont know what caused it but at least I know the solution, I read an article about resetting Firefox. I did and its back to normal now. Weird. Thanks for the help man, I appreciate it. :)
