Google in a new Firefox tab

Solved

Hello,
do you know how to get Google to display instead of a blank page in Firefox 5?

Please don't suggest extensions that only slow down and bug Firefox, I think there must be something to do in about:config, right?

Thank you in advance.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 5.0.1

    Good evening

    I know you didn't want an extension, but this one is functional; I just tested it, and I don't notice any slowdown

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

    then you need to go to tools/add-ons/right-click on new tab url/options/check the url box and set it to Google

    regarding adblock, I have it, and I don't think it poses a problem

    a signature..uh ..Boo?

      If you have Firefox and want to add GOOGLE to the tabs instead of having a blank page, it's very simple follow the steps below:

      1 - Open a Google page

      2 - At the top in the address bar, type: about:config and click on the small window that appears right after: "I promise to be careful"

      3 - At the top in the search bar, you need to type: browser.newtab.url

      4 - Double-click on the line: browser.newtab.url

      5 - Delete everything and replace it with: http://www.google.fr

      6 - Click: OK

      7 - Open one or several tabs, and normally you should have Google in the new tabs!!

      8 - So....? Does it work?? ^^
