Unfortunately this is not something that can be fixed.
The way this addon avoids changing the address bar content is by creating an iframe and displaying your chosen site in that iframe. The problem is that sites (like Google) can set an HTTP header that blocks other sites (like this addon) from displaying their pages inside an iframe.
If you look in the addon options page, next to where you choose the URL, it does warn you about this by saying "The site must allow iframe embedding or it won't work".
However, in your case, I don't really understand the use case for having google.com as your new tab page if you can just search straight from the address bar? Maybe Firefox address bar "smart keywords" would work better so you could just type something like "img my icon" in the address bar and be taken straight to the Google image search results for "my icon". Here's a Firefox post about using "smart keywords" if you're interested https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-search-from-address-bar.

- Valutata 5 su 5di Ra Shoe, un mese faDoes exactly what I want it to do, I use this to make a "spacer" tab with my vertical tabs (since I have so many...), and I can set the title of the new tab to be a nice, visual "—————" instead of "about:newtab", which makes browsing through my long list of tabs much easier! Plus, the author's website at zen.mint.as looks super professional and works extremely well as a new tab page!
- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 15170309, 8 mesi faThe best tool that works perfectly.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is a Firefox add-on market just for this. - Valutata 2 su 5di Utente Firefox 12781457, 9 mesi faFirefox can't open this page
To protect your security, ..... doesn't allow Firefox to show the page if another website has embedded it. To view this page, you must open it in a new window. - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 18097713, un anno faBest option to have a custom url and not change the address bar, perfect
- Valutata 5 su 5di dirkules, un anno faDoes exactly what I want, awesome! No URL that's prefilled, I can just start typing and still have my selfhosted dashboard when opening a New Tab 🫰
- Valutata 5 su 5di Cloud, un anno faMost other new tab overrides just redirect to the url. But this extension uses an iframe I think. Another plus is when loading the new tab page you can set it to be dark mode or light mode, so no more flashes of white when loading a page that is dark. Give em a star on github too -> https://github.com/MethodGrab/firefox-custom-new-tab-page
- Valutata 5 su 5di Kis Albert, un anno faworks great, just need to tick those 2 checkboxes in option, could be default.

- Valutata 5 su 5di Mike B, un anno faIt works as it should and is great.
However, I'm so annoyed at Mozilla for making an addon to be necessary!!
It's so dumb that they don't let you change the NewTab url like they let you change your new window start page.
There is really NO reason for Mozilla NOT to off the ability to do so.
Well, I'm betting that it has to do with $$$ honestly. The default new tab page is all about Pocket and most of the default articles it gives you are to paid sites that Pocket (aka Mozilla) make money from.... soooooo, that is the ONLY reason why I can see them not offering.
Because lets face it, we open new tabs A LOT more then we do new windows. - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 18169319, un anno fa

- After hunting for an extension that allows you to use a custom url as a new tab this is IT!
All the other extensions don't clear the url bar when making a new tab. So when you start typing the characters are appended to the url bar contents, meaning you need to manually clear the url bar each time.
This one fixes that! I've struggled with it for a month now, and finally found this extension. Thanks MethodGrab!
