GitHub

Why doesn't a “new tab” open when I click on the “new tab” button? ...

Captchas I have read the instructions. I have searched existing issues and avoided creating duplicates. I am not filing an enhancement request. What happened? When you click on the “new tab” button...

Thank you

New tab page gone solution:

set flag in about:config to "false"
flag name: zen.urlbar.replace-newtab

I installed the zen browser on another machine and had to do this because I use an extension. Found the process of finding the solution cumbersome, so adding some search words for this post

zen browser new tab page restore
zen browser new tab page gone
zen browser new tab page

Both searching it up here and the github is overtly cumbersome for a feature that should be in the tab management settings, hopefully cheff considers people using bookmark pages / tab pages to easily navigate their bookmarks using gui instead of just powerusers.

While being a power user is fast, convenience is a good thing for both normal and power users as the browser gains popularity.
