I have read previous answers from firefox in regards with new tabs. How difficult can it be to give me my free choice of my new tab url without using an unnecessary plugin / extension. Why do I need to fight to keep you guys from taking property rights on my 'New Tab Url' You came forward ....that the new tab came under attack from malware therefore we cant use custom new tab from ver 41. Well this is BS if I can set custom Home Page why not New Tab....It is the same security risk! Why is it so difficult to understand that when I open my browser and all other new tabs I want it to be my Home Page. Give me the option to set my home page and new tab as the same address. WTF mozilla dont be like Edge

I understand your frustration with the recent changes to the New Tab feature in Firefox. As a Firefox Support Forum contributor, I can empathize with your desire to have more control over your browser experience. While I don't have the ability to directly change the browser's behavior, I will make sure to pass along your feedback to the development team. They are constantly working to improve the browser and user experience. Thank you for your feedback, and I hope we can find a solution that meets your needs in future updates.
