Pale moon 25.8.1 update#

With Red Cats theme, CTR setting for new tab works properly and I do get a pristine new tab. Strangely, CTR is not working correctly with the default theme as I see that gear button and seeing that means that TWO NEW TABS will open every time instead of one. NOTHING should be in the address bar or on the page of a new tab. It does not control whether or not the gear button is shown on the supposedly clean new tab. (And I guess that is what replaced & controls what you're assuming still does.)Īnd thinking about that, maybe they specifically left in there, did not forcibly remove it, for those instances where a user may revert to an earlier version or using differing versions of FF, & those different versions will both give expected results, & not display differently, solely because they change the name of the Pref along the way.ī's not new and I have had it set to false before I updated to Fx 45.2.

The former looks like it is what actually controls whether a new tab opens to about:blank or not. (And a browser restart does not cause the Pref to 'disappear'.) The latter seemingly is a 'user set' item, yet regardless of set to true or false, it remains 'user set'. Now possible they did remove it, but did not specifically remove the Pref name (from appearing in prefs.js). If they removed that 'feature' (Pref), removed its abilities to affect anything, then it cannot be affecting anything.

If you do an internal update of a version of Fx that has the new tab preference setting that setting is NOT removed nor does it become unhonored.
