How do I get tabs to open in my home page?

You can install one of the many add-ons to accomplish this. There are many different ones available, so you can just go to the Firefox add-ons page and search for "Home Page".
Also, ensure that you've setup Firefox with your Home Page URL. If you haven't done so, follow the steps below:
* Go to Options (i.e. \Firefox\Options\Options);
* Go to the General tab;
* Under Start-up - enter the URL in the Home Page URL box.
Note: Make sure that you have chosen "Show my Home Page" under "When Firefox Starts" (use the drop down arrow).

How can i get new tabs to open on my home page?

I would like to have new tabs automatically open to my home page like it does when Firefox starts up.

Type '''about:config''' in the Location Bar and hit Enter.
''Accept the warning message.''
Type '''newtab.url''' in the Search field at the top.
Go down a bit to this pref - '''browser.newtab.url''' = right-click and select '''Modify''' - insert '''about:home''' - if you are using the default homepage, otherwise put the URL of your homepage in the dialog box

Hi since I downloaded msn games my new tab window defaults to msn but I want it ot be Firefox. I can't seem to find how to reset it, can you advise please. Thanks

You can go to Firefox and download one of many add-ons to do this. This issue has been addressed in another forum in Firefox Help. Follow this link: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/773676?s=new+tab+google&as=s
Two add-ons mentioned by Tony E. are NewTabURL or New Tab Homepage.
Also, whenever you open the new tab, you can just click on the home icon. That is what I do.

How do I set my tabs to open with my home page?

When I open a tab, how can I get it to open to my Home Page - the page I have set to open when opening Firefox?

'''To cause new tabs to open at your home page in all windows''':
'''I have added specific instructions to clarify exactly where entries should be made''' to the useful solution by Fred McD. (I'm using Firefox v. 29.0.1).
The procedure is now very easy: just be careful with spelling of entries.
Begin by opening a new window or tab. In the address (aka URL/location) bar, type '''''about:config'''''. If a warning screen comes up, click the '''''Be Careful''''' message.
A new search bar appears below the address bar. Type '''''browser.newtab.url ''''' in it and press Enter.
Below the new search bar is a new header: '''Preference Name''', followed by a long list list of all the possible preferences (settings) that can be changed (one of which is ''browser.newtab.url''). There is no explanation of the function of each; nor is there a corresponding list of possible values for each setting, so before you change one, record its value.
Right click on '''Preference Name''' and from the resulting drop-down list click on '''''Modify'''''. A small window will open which contains a field containing the current value for browser.newtab.url. Note its value, then overwrite it with '''''about:home''''' to select the default Firefox home page for all new tabs. The new setting is immediately active: close the window.
This method leaves the address bar of a new tab blank, unlike clicking the '''Home''' icon, so a different URL may be quickly entered if desired. (The new tabs have the unexpected generic title "Mozilla Firefox Start Page")
Other possible settings are:
about:newtab (shows the site most visited)
about:blank (a blank page)
any web page address (URL) you choose
The same instructions apply to New Window settings, but beginning with the entry '''''browser.startup.homepage''''' .

How can I get the tabs to stop showing the pages I just visited

I don't want the sites/pages I visited to show up in thumbnails. How can I get this to stop?

Hello mtroop24, you mean the thumbnails when you open a new tab ?
see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites#w_how-do-i-turn-the-new-tab-page-off How do I turn the new tab page off?]
thank you

How can I set app tabs to open to the default page on startup?

If I use an App Tab and click on a link from that tab, then exit and open Firefox, it opens up the website I was on when I closed Firefox the last time as the App Tab. For example, If I have Google as an app tab, make a search, click on a new website, and exit Firefox, the same website from before will load in my App tab instead of Google. When I open Firefox, I want my app tabs to open to their default pages, not the pages I was surfing from those tabs when I closed Firefox.

App Tabs are not protected against changing the URL by opening a link in that same tab and Firefox doesn't keep a record of the original URL. 
You can middle click a link to open the link in a new tab if you do not want the tab changing the URL.
You can lock the tab with the Tab Mix Plus extension.

How can I get a tab to open in an oversize jpg image in its original size with scroll bars when I click on a link?

I have a small program for storing my genealogy names and jpg images of the census pages where each name is found. The images have a thumbnail link that opens in a new tab to view the actual oversized census page. In the new tab the census page is small and not readable. How do I get the jpg image to appear in its original size with schroll bars so I can read the census in the firefox browser without using the zoom feature. It takes several clicks on the zoom to get the image to a readable size and that is time consuming, especially when I have several images opened.

That works, thank you!
Could I suggest that this feature (the ability to turn off or turn on the auto-resize of images) be part of the Options tab on Firefox? I think it's a setting that some users might want to change fairly often--even toggle back and forth on. It's a little annoying to have to go into about:config every time to do this.

How do I get new tabs to open up to Google page instead of blank pages

When I open up a new tab it goes to a blank window. I want it to open up directly to Google. I'm very new at computers and can't figure this out. Thanks for any help.

This is a hidden setting. You get to take a peek into Firefox's world of "preferences."
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
''Note: I suggest copying the full URL you want from a different tab. If you use a shorthand URL like google.com, it will get redirected every single time, which is inefficient.''
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Works?

How can I get my mac to return to my home page after closing, now it returns to last page viewed.

Can anyone tell me how to get my desk top IMac to return to my home page after leaving the internet? Now it returns to the last page viewed,
I hate that!

Depends what OS X and Browser you are using?
If you are on Snow Leopard (10.6) and Safari (5.1.7) then open Safari Preferences, select the General tab and make sure that:
1. Safari opens with: A new window
2 New windows open with: Homepage
3. Homepage: is set to the desired https: site

I am assuming this has to do with my house network , but all other computers do not have a problem they work ok . So I ask is there a problem with my computer with the network , how can I see if that is the case

The standard arch kernel includes all the required modules, at most you need to load them explicitly listing them in MODULES in /etc/rc.conf
You need also the hw specific stuff, that is i915 and intelagp. Check lsmod and see if they are loaded. If they are not, inspect dmesg and see if udev tries to load them and fails for some reason.
I remember some cases where intelagp and i915 are not loaded by udev in the right order, if this is your case you can try to list them in the right order in MODULES.
There should be no need to recompile the kernel or to install a particular version of dri (just use the arch packages for mesa, libdrm etc; but I guess you have them already)

Does the scroll bar appear if you maximize the window or possibly switch to full screen mode via F12?
You can try to open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize the window in case the current window is too high and the horizontal scroll bar falls off.
Try to open a new window in case there is a problem with the current window.
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted xulstore.rdf file.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
