Changing the firefox new tab homepage easily without addons

[craiga24]

I did try adding this to an old post that was the same discussion but it was too old to post on it looks like so thought I would make a new thread as I didnt see the new solution anywhere and it seems to get asked a lot

In Firefox you can now change the new tab homepage via the config page (only works in 12.0)
