New Tab Override 7.0 (and higher) is a WebExtension, the only allowed add-on architecture on Firefox 57 and higher (Firefox Nightly is already on version 57). WebExtensions are only allowed to use http://, https:// and a very small subset of about: pages to use as new tab page. So there is nothing what I can do for your use case. It's not possible to restore this feature.
It's also not possible to read the homepage at the moment. It will be possible again in the future, but it's not possible in Firefox 55 and Firefox 56, it will be possible in Firefox 57 at the earliest.
