Consistently reproducible with Waterfox in safe mode.
Not reproducible with a new profile.
I see Mozilla bug 1554167 - Opening Firefox version 67.0 64 bit displays a blank home page instead of saved home page., with a question mark against 68, but (at a glance) the symptoms are different.
Re: https://github.com/MrAlex94/Waterfox/issues/979#issue-445861599 I wondered whether this bug was a consequence of attempting to activate top sites, so I removed this line from my prefs.js
:
user_pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.topsites", true);
Re: https://github.com/MrAlex94/Waterfox/issues/996#issuecomment-496012718 I wondered whether limiting myself to bookmarks alone would work around this bug.
No better, unfortunately, here's the bug in safe mode:

… In case it helps I did try to set a different url as a new tab page, and it does work.
Specifying a URL for a new window works as expected:
– but when I revert to Waterfox Home (Default) the screen is blank.
I haven't seen anything like this recently.
– until now, I assumed that everyone had this bug.
Now, reading this alongside #996 it seems that for some users, it is possible to have some home screen content.
