Narrative:

High speed rejected takeoff for a main deck fire warning in mid 1 section at 90 knots on. Rejected takeoff and performed red ECAM items; rejected takeoff checklist and after landing checklist. Maintenance had changed the number 2 engine over the weekend prior to this event. They do not do a high-power run-up on the new engine. They only take the power to idle. When we departed on a different aircraft; they still had not determined if the smoke was due to a package or the new engine. Take the aircraft with the new engine and do a high-power run-up prior to delivering the aircraft to a crew.
