'New Tab' in Firefox?

Whenever I open a new tab in Firefox, the new page is filled with an ad, and there's a long URL in the URL box that I don't want. How can I set it so that a new tab comes up empty, including the URL input box? TIA!

go in firefox setting and change the URL for new tab...also not a bad idea to have adblocker

Get some sort of adblocker. That's what I did.

go to the settings of your browser and choose the default home page what you want to be.
