Summary: The open new tab page is blank. WHY?
Comments:
The open new tab page is blank. Why would any one want to see a blank
page. This annoys me so much -- (but EVERYTHING else about Firefox is
great). The new tab should either be my home page (in my case
www.google.co.uk) or a copy of the current page that I am viewing. I am
not sure which to the two is best -- but just not blank Please.
Thanks.

That is what I would want (default), but it should be working with what you
previously had. about:config browser.tabs.loadOnNewTab
If it were anything else it would be wasting my time, and what if I weren't
connected and tried to go out to the web, or the page was bad.
I alleviate such problems with my homepage being on my machine, and
new tab opening with about:blank
Since you are testing a new version of Firefox wouldn't you want to know where
problems actually occur rather than adding layers of confusion.
look for "browser. tabs. loadOnNewTab" spaces are in article for formatting

You can also drag the link, favicon (leftside of location bar) to
new tab toolbar button
empty space on tabs bar
the dropdown to show tabs at right of tabs bar
context menus: both main context menu, and tabs context menu
