I had not really used the new tabs page and when I had a look, I was not pleased to see that my bank had been pinned and showed all my balances for anyone to see.

I have used FF from the beginning but if the tabs show private details for secure websites (banks, credit cards etc) that require a password, then I'll be leaving Firefox.

This should be flagged up as a security issue.

Change the newtabs page that is displayed.

With Firefox 41 (and higher), it's no longer possible to customize the page shown in a new tab via changing the preference browser.newtab.url in about:config. Because of the fact that hijackers abused the preference in the past, Mozilla decided to remove it (see bug 1118285). Fortunately, by removing it, Mozilla also introduced a new API to bring this functionality back to life as an add-on. This add-on allows the user to choose a certain page in a new tab.

New Tab Override (browser.newtab.url replacement) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/

This is also available using Classic Theme Restorer (Customize Australis) {web link} Restore squared tabs, appmenu, add-ons bar, small button view and more on Australis UI (Windows/MacOSX/Linux + Fx 29+).
