Cannot change url in new tab
My Firefox just updated to 41.0
But for some reason when I go and create new tab it does not go to my set page any more. I had a look in about:config and now where I use to put it it's not there any more.
I just want to make it go straight to http://www.google.com when open new tab rather than show most frequent pages.
Any suggestions on the new 41.0 on how to make new tab open direct on to website I am after?

New Tab Override (browser.newtab.url replacement) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
With Firefox 41 (and higher), it's no longer possible to customize the page shown in a new tab via changing the preference browser.newtab.url in about.config. Because of the fact that hijackers abused the preference in the past, Mozilla decided to remove it (see bug 1118285). Fortunately, by removing it, Mozilla also introduced a new API to bring this functionality back to life as an add-on. This add-on allows the user to choose a certain page in a new tab.
