In earlier versions of Firefox you had to enable the speed dial page, but now it’s the default setting. To set new tabs to open to a blank page type: about:config in the address bar. Then click the I’ll be careful button on the Void Warranty screen – this page is a joke and one of Easter Eggs in the Firefox.

Then in the search field type: browser.newtabpage.enabled and double click on it to change its value to False.

Now when you open a new tab, it displays a blank page. If you do want to see the thumbnails of recently viewed pages, click the grid icon at the upper left side of the screen.
