Disable the new tab in Firefix 13 and above
Like me, if you found the new tab page which shows a list of most accessed pages in Firefix 13 (similar to Chrome) annoying, you have the option of disabling it, so that it goes back to displaying a blank page when you create a new tab. Here are the steps to disable/enable it -
1. In the address tab, type "about:config"
2. Confirm the warning message that comes up (voids your warranty)
3. In the search bar type "browser.newtabpage.enabled"
4. Double click on the first result to change the option from true to false
5. Close that tab
Open a new tab and verify that it is now a blank page. To revert the changes back, just change the property back to true.
