After the latest update, every time I open a new tab it automatically opens aol.com which is my home page but don't want it to open on every tab. How do I fix it??

In the address bar type about:config then click on I will be careful set your browser.newtab.url preference to "about:newtab" .

To set it right click on browser.newtab.url then click on Modify and set the value and save it.
