Just FYI, Firefox is working on Total Cookie Protection and other features like SmartBlock to keep third party storage access blocked while not breaking web pages. It's definitely nice to see the anti-tracking space getting so active over the past couple of years.

Firefox also recently started to flashbang me every time I open a tab. You gain some, you lose some.

> The non-lethal flashbang grenade temporarily blinds anybody within its concussive blast, making it perfect for flushing out closed-in areas.

If its the all white page on a new tab, you can add this to your userChrome.css

  @-moz-document url("about:newtab") {  
      body {
          background-color: #000000 !important;
      }
  }

It isn't. about:blank is solid white for a single frame whenever I open it, then it turns dark gray.
