Dark New Tab
Open a blank dark or white tab rather than the default browser's new tab page.
Dark New Tab - A Minimalistic New Browser Tab Extension
'Dark New Tab' is a Firefox extension which opens a blank browser tab with a dark or white background color. Typically, a new tab encompasses numerous items such as tiles, bookmarks, and a search filed among others. However, Dark New Tab provides a more simplistic new tab alternative. Notably, the default background color of Dark New Tab is dark, but can be switched to white using the moon icon. This feature retains your selection for future usage. Additionally, in case of any feature requests or bug reports, they can be made via the add-on's homepage.

Works great! What a nice relief to have plain, simple, non-eye-straining new tab pages. (Now if this Firefox site would only offer a dark version... :?P )
This extension will be even better we can choose our background colour (e.g. an even darker gray). The author's FAQ page says this is an upcoming feature.
