Do you have the New Tab add-on installed?

If you do and it still doesn't open the page when opening a new tab, perhaps you have another add-on that changes how tabs are opened like Tab Mix Plus.

Configure the new tab page to be:
chrome://abouttab/content/text.html

of course i have the new tab add-on installed

i do not have tab mix plus

the problem is due to the "tab clicking options" add-on and due to it alone

Oh, I didn't realize what you were referring to when you said "tab clicking options". But the same solution should work. Set the "new tab" option to open:

chrome://abouttab/content/text.html

there is no such option

This is an issue with "tab clicking options" not "new tab".
Tab clicking options changes how new tabs are opened when using the tab clicking shortcut.

This bug should be marked INVALID.
