How to open the New Tab Page in the current tab?
I'm transitioning over from Chrome and setting up my extensions. I have two that matter for this question: Infinity Tab Pro which changes my new tab page, and Gesturefy to provide mouse gestures.
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/infinity-new-tab-pro-firefox/) (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gesturefy/?src=search)
In chrome I had a gesture that too me to the new tab page via URL (chrome://newtab) And in Gesturefy you can create a gesture that will open up a specified URL, or the home page. Is there anyway to make the new tab page my home page, or to link to it directly?

In Firefox, the new tab URL should be about:newtab although I'm not sure if that's still the case when you are using an add-on to override the new tab page.
Try it. If it doesn't work, you may have to specify the URL for that specific add-on's new tab page.
Hope this helps.
I don't think that an extension can open an about page, so you probably need to do this via a bookmark or the homepage toolbar button.
