I believe you are referring to what you see in the Firefox settings. The only choices you have are
1. Firefox Home (Default)
2. Blank Page
tab1.jpg

To overcome this you have to add a Firefox extension.
Go to extensions in Firefox settings

tab2.jpg

tab3.jpg

In search box type: new tab url
At top of results is New Tab Override
Double click on New Tab Override

tab4.jpg

Click Add to Firefox
Follow instructions to complete installation

tab5.jpg

In settings for Firefox Extensions
At far right of New Tab Override click on three dots

tab7.jpg

Click on Options

tab8.jpg

For Option select custom URL
For URL enter: Google

tab9.jpg


Go back into Firefox settings for New Tabs and select New Tab Override
