How to edit & add your web pages to about:newtab
Okay, I have read, tried and tried and tried again, but I am unable to add a webpage to the about:newtab.
Lets make this simple, I want to add http://www.google.com to the about:newtab. Should I already have the about:newtab open, or should I go to http://www.google.com and do something there?
Can anyone explain, step-by-step, on how to add pages to the about:newtab. Also, lets say you delete all the default about:newtab sites, and you want to get them back. Can anyone explain how to do that?
I would really appreciate any and all help. Thank You. Davide

Do you want change the top sites?
Or do you want change the url of the newtab?
- In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
- Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
- Type browser.newtab.url in the search box to find it on the list.
- Double-click on browser.newtab.url and type in about:newtab in the window that pops up.
Restart Firefox and open a new tab to make sure the change was made.
You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL. You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
- browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
- browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.
