{{FeaturePageBody
|Feature overview=Whenever Firefox users open a new tab, their goal is to use it to navigate somewhere. Firefox currently displays a blank page when Firefox users open a new page. This is guaranteed to not help them perform their next task.
We'd like to implement a page which displays on new tabs and helps users complete their next task. This will likely include offering options that are most likely to include the user's next task so that valuable time and steps are saved.
Such a page must meet certain requirements:
* Load instantly
* Not be so distracting as to take users mentally away from their intended task and into an unintended one
* Does not require configuration to be useful
* Can be configured entirely or disabled completely
* Does not embarrass the user
What functionality can make users more efficient in new tab navigation without distracting them?
|Feature users and use cases=* Searching from a new tab page
* Navigating to a location from a new tab page
* Opening a new tab page without being sure of what task to begin
|Feature ux design===== Next steps ====
* Identify what to examine in user testing
* Identify relevant research and data that can be used to narrow down functionality
* Create designs based on the above
