How do I make new tabs open to my specified home page instead of blank page?

I generally like to avoid add-ons, and the second option is still an extra step - not opening tabs to the homepage, as requested (rather how to switch to your Home page after a tab opens to the blank page).
Here's a wild idea: How 'bout a setting option in Tools > Options > Tabs for "Always open new tabs to my Home page" ?

How do I make new tabs from a first window go behind instead of in front of the first window?

I use the same version of Firefox at work & new tabs open "behind" the initial tab, I can't figure out how to make this happen on my home computer! At home, new tabs open "in front" of the initial tab & it's really frustrating!

Extract code into methods, so that when an action is performed a method is called. That way you can reuse the method for purposes such as resetting textfields to their default values, scores to default values, etc.
You can go one step further and seperate the GUI layer from the processing layer, by deriving classes that for example maintain and calculate a score.

How can I make new tabs open next to the current tab?

New tabs are advertised in Firefox 5.0 as being set to open next the the current tab by default. Mine, however, do not do this. They open to the right of the last tab, necessitating a lot of tab-scrolling, and a minor waste of time.
I have not installed the extension that forces the tab behaviour I'm currently witnessing.
Is there a kind soul out there with any suggestions for how I can get my new tabs to appear next to the tab I'm working on?

Tabs that are "related" to the current tab, like the same domain, open to the right of the current tab. Other links that are from other domains open at the right end of the tab strip.
The pref for that actions is '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''.
To have them all open to the right of the current tab would need an add-on, if that action even exists in an add-on.

How can I make new tabs open on the right?

I have the New Tabs On The End add-on but it doesn't work anymore since I upgraded to FF 6. Is there any way to force Firefox to due this without an add-on?

How to make new tabs open in the url I desire?

the info on the page that best describes the solution is way WAY too techie for non-tech-but-otherwise-intelligent people.
how about if you put something where non-tech-but-willing-to-try folks are likely to look for it, namely the "tab" area under "options"? perhaps a box that shows where firefox currently directs when a new tab is opened and a simplistic way to enter the desired url?
thank you.

You can set the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page to the desired URL.
Type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key to open the about:config page like you open a website by typing the URL in the location bar.
*If you see a warning message then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page.
You can use the Search bar at the top of the about:config page to locate preferences more easily
So in this case start typing browser.newtab until you see the line with the browser.newtab.url pref.
You can right-click this line and select modify and change the value of this pref to your preferred new tab website.

Make new tab open to home page

When I open a new tab with the "+" button I get a blank page. I want my new tab to automatically open to my home page which I have set to Google. This is how IE8 does it.

This worked, and I appreciate it. Very aggravating.
You have to find the add-on under "Tools" first.
The setting to change the New Tab to launch immediately as
your Home Page is there. Would have been nice to have that
be the default, but it's fixed now, so thanks.

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?
