Like many I tend to keep several tabs open in Firefox and am constantly opening new tabs for a quick task then closing the tab page. I also use the Google toolbar. So it was with much frustration that I started waiting for a new tab page to open with recent history as opposed to the nearly instantaneous opening of a blank tab page. Not to fear the fix was actually quite easy. From the Google toolbar menu (right click the menu bar) select Options then look for Enable the Google new tab page. Uncheck this entry. Now your new blank tab pages should open immediately.
