homepage

In Firefox 25 (running on Windows 7), I have the following Startup settings:

When Firefox starts = 'Show my home page'
Home Page = (URL of the site I want)

So when I click on the Home button, I get the right page. That's all good.

However, when I open a new tab, I get the 'recently visited websites tiles' screen, i.e. this: Screenshot.

How do I get Firefox to show my Home Page in new tabs as well??

Note: when I open a new Window, it works OK. I'm getting the Home Page there. The problem is just with New Tab!
