[gentoo-user] Firefox 13 and "blank" page

[gentoo-user] Firefox 13 and "blank" page

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

I recently upgraded to firefox 13.
In the preferenced I had set "When firefox starts" to "about:blank"
and "Home Page" to "about:blank". This had worked for several
versions.

Now -- after visiting a site -- a thumbnail of that site is shown
on the "blank" page now.

I had looked through my addons, what may be guilty for that and found
nothing.

How can I get back a really blank page again?

Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
mcc

Its a new feature of v13. "When opening a new tab, users are now
presented with their most visited pages"

That's the new "blank page" of FF13.  It's not a bug.  It's feature :-P

Also, there's a grid icon in the top right of the page that lets you
select a blank page instead.

Cheers,

You can change that by:

Use about:config and set browser.newtab.url from about:newtab to
about:blank.
