Want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through a long procedure each time

I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • When I click to open a new tab (blank), I want this tab to open my home page.

    In the older Firefox versions I could set, when I opened a new tab, my original homepage appeared, in this version i can't find this option anywhere.

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.

  • How do you set new tabs to open with home page

    when I open a new tab I would like it to open with my home page. Currently I have to click the home icon to go to my home page. The first tab opens with my home page but not extra ones.

    Remove the '''Searchqu''' Malware - see this: <br />

  • I have tab mix plus and i have set the new tab to open my home page, no matter what i do I can't get the new tab of firefox to show up.

    I can't get the new feature of firefox 13 of the new tab.

    Find '''browser.newtab.url''' and double click on it (or right-click and select modify) and type your homepage you want, to open a new tab in your homepage.
    thank you

  • What on earth is the "click me" lego man on the home page and why doesn't it do something when I click?

    What on earth is the "click me" lego man on the home page and why doesn't it do something when I click?

    The Click Me logo is part of the Humble Mozilla Bundle promotion - once clicked you should be able to control the character with the "WASD", and "IJKL" keys.
    Quoting '''the-edmeister''' from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025706
    That Click Me game is part of the Humble Mozilla Bundle promotion on the default Home Page [about:home], that loads from the Mozilla servers in the "Brand Logo" (DIV) section of about:home. A feature that was first used in Firefox 29 [IIRC] just prior to the start of the Olympic Games.
    Also, part of that promotion is addressed in the "Snippet" below the Search Container on the about:home page.
    If you want to block the "Brand Logo" section (and the "snippet" below the Search container) from ever being seen again, you can install Stylish and this UserStyle. https://userstyles.org/styles/104673/about-home-hide-snippets-and-hide-brand-logo

  • Can anybody say why In the layer menu the background color is white when opening a layer mask, and why does it automatically turns black by simply opening the layer mask properties menu? The vector mask is white anyway.

  • I want a new window to open a blank page, instead it opens start page and cant grab icon in new tab to set as home page.

    New tab blank page icon is not selectable and therefore I can not click and drag it to home page icon. Other pages work, but not blank pages. I do not want Firefox Start Page.

    Install an extension that adds that feature to Firefox.
    New Tab Homepage extension:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777
    or
    NewTabURL extension

  • I want new tabs to open with my current homepage, not Bing - how do I change this?

    Whenever I open a new tab I always get the Bing search page. I would prefer all new tabs to open my homepage - how do I do that? Is this a default setting that can't be changed?

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.

  • When opening a new tab, IE9 opens a blank page, not the new tab page

    I change my settings to open a the new tab page when I open a new tab. This works for one boot of Windows. Second boot, the settings have magically changed back to opening a blank page.
    It worked to start with. I only just reinstalled Windows on this computer. Then a few days ago I didn't get my most recent sites when I opened a tab. Changed the settings. Next boot. They had reset.
    It seems as if the settings do not save. I had this problem on my older computer as well. Never found a fix.
    To clear up misunderstandings (there are some similar posts), when I select a link to open in a new tab, it always works.

    Hi ,
    In order to clarify the issue clearly, I would like to ask the following questions:
    Did you make the steps below to set “When a new tab is opened” to open your first home page?
    Open a new tab to your home page in Internet Explorer
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Open-a-new-tab-to-your-home-page-in-Internet-Explorer
    Will the home page change back after the second boot?
    Is this setting able to be saved?
    Is this your home pc?
    What’s the operation system?
    Generally, this issue  will not persist after reinstalling the Windows.
    I would recommend you to perform the steps mentioned below and check if it helps:
    1. Temporarily disable all the third party security programs and boot in
    Clean Boot to test the issue.
    2. I would suggest you to optimizing the internet explorer for better performance and check if it helps.
    How to optimize Internet Explorer (Also applicable for IE 9)
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936213/ro
    Note: Resetting Internet Explorer’s settings is not reversible. After a reset, all previous settings are lost and cannot
    be recovered.
