I'm the author of the cited add-on: Custom-New-Tab (https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/). Thank you so much for promoting it jakke (OP)! Just wanted to quickly respond to the few comments in this thread about my addon.

- It doesn't work for FF on Android (I have never looked into it).

- It's true that setting browser.newtab.url does achieve similar functionality but only Custom-New-Tab properly places the focus!

- CNT can fix your "blanking the URL" problem. Check out the preferences.
