Hello Peter
Apologies for this. I know it can be frustrating.
Good news : This extension will reset your about:newtab page to default, along with a few other settings. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/?src=ss
You can also check through : search findwide virus
Kindly let me know the outcomes
