how can i set a hompage in firefox ? homepage - speed dial

Previously setting about:newtab as the homepage was working but for the past few weeks this no longer works

Any work arounds to correct this?

Im using windows 7 with latest version of firefox

Have you tried to restart your speed dial addon?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled it with the same results

What firefox version do you use? After Speed Dial installation, it should be set automatically.

If not, do the following:

1 Go to the extension settings and copy the address http://nimb.ws/H1W7qP

2 Open Firefox Settings http://nimb.ws/cokXtr

3 Select Home page settings

Replace options.html with newtab.html http://nimb.ws/CMxYdg

I am using 60.0.2 (64-bit)

Issue seems resolved since the last firefox update and uninstalling and re-installing the extention
