There are various options available to avoid this situation. However, if want quick fix to stop displaying most visited sites in the new tab, then this post would be for you. This method utilizes a Firefox extension called "Blank New Tab" from DarkByte. I have tried this extension and worked well for me.

If you no longer want blank tab, then click on wrench icon , choose Option, and click on Extension. Uncheck the Enable box for temporary removal and click on Remove button to uninstall the extension for permanent removal.
