I have the very same problem of (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1084992)[this guy], but in my case I set `newtab` to `about:blank` because I have a very old machine and I do want to save memory, if I install an addon just to do it I'd be contradictory you know! Someone could give this tip to the dev team, at least give us a way to set newtab as `about:blank`, for instance with a boolean flag.

Sorry, but browser.newtab.url is gone and it's not coming back as a default preference.

Quite honestly, from the postings made about the removal of that pref since Firefox 41 was released, I think that users wanting about:home was mentioned more frequently than about:blank. And that would take a Boolean pref "out of the running".
