    I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 10 last week from scratch and installed Firefox and I am having a problem with Tools> Options> Home> New Tab. My choices are "Blank Page" and "Firefox Home (Default)".

    Before formatting and reinstalling, I had the option of a custom URL for new tabs. How can I get this back.

    In case it matters, the custom URL I want is the Google search page that is otherwise blank.
