How do I set a home page in Firefox for Android

I want iGoogle to open when I load Firefox.

Hi DOUGM500049, <br>
I think this will be a change on Firefox for Android 20. Currently, you can make a bookmark to your preferred page and open Firefox with it.
<br>
For more info on how to do this, check "How do I add a bookmark to my device's home screen?" section in this article: <br> [[Use bookmarks on Firefox for Android to keep track of your favorite websites]]

  • How do I set a "normal" home-page in Firefox for Android? (instead of the "awesome screen")

    How do I set a "normal" home-page in Firefox for Android? I don't want the homepage to be the "awesome screen" (which I personally don't find to be very awesome - way too much going on in one page for a small smartphone screen).
    I just want a regular home page that I can set myself. For example, in Firefox for my personal laptop, I've set my homepage Google.com. In Firefox on my work computer, I've set my homepage to our company intranet login. I really prefer and need this flexibility in setting my home page.
    In Firefox for Android, if I go into Settings/Customize/Homepage , the only options I see for changing the home page is to de-select certain items on the "awesome screen". There's no option to set a URL address for a normal homepage. If I de-select/hide all the items on the awesome screen, I simply get a blank home page (no web page, just a prompt telling me to enter a URL address).
    The other major browsers for Android allow me to set a "normal" home page. Firefox is my favorite browser for my laptop. I wish I could get it to work normally for Android. :( :( :(

    hello betsy, at the moment such a feature is not implemented in firefox, but as a workaround you can add a bookmark to a site to the homescreen of your phone, which should have the same effect: [[Use bookmarks on Firefox for Android to keep track of your favorite websites]]

  • How can I set the home page in iPad safari?

    Opening Safari, the screen shows the last page used. Is it possible to set a home page so that, for example, Sfari always opens with the Google search page?

    Safari doesn't have a homepage as such, but you can create a homescreen shortcut for a particular page : go to the page that you want and then tap the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it to the left of the URL address field and you should get an option to 'Add To Home Screen'. You can then just tap shortcut on your homescreen to open Safari on that page (it will still re-open any other tabs that you had open when you closed Safari)

  • Auto refresh or reload a page on Firefox for Android ?

    Is there a way to auto reload or refresh a page on Firefox for Android ?
    I looked at the extensions but I could not find any. I am using my tablet for Google Drive Slides and unfortunately their publish web page does not force the browser to refresh a page so the content do not change. The only solution I found is to auto reload a page. Dolphin has this add on but the full screen does not hide the status bar. Firefox full screen hides the status bar but there is no auto reload a page extension.
    Can someone help please?

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
    #Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
    #Tap '''Settings'''.
    #After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
    #You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    #*Cookies & active logins
    #*Cache
    #After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

  • How do I set the Home Page for a newly open tab using the File Tab Menu??

    When I open a new tab, is there a way to set the home page the new tab will use when it is opened, or will new tabs always be opened as blank pages?

    I have new windows opening when I click on a link. Or when I click on the FF-Icon. New windows are the default setting.
    When a new window opens, I get a Google home page and can instantly type in a search phrase.
    With the above in mind, sometimes I want to keep search classes in the same window. In a sense I'm using the Window with no tabs, to generate a tab by using the File Tab option.
    When a Tab is selected where new windows will launch a new page, and not a new tab, the process of forcing a new tab onto the window will produce a tab page that is Blank, and the new tab label description displayed in the tab area shows the words "New Tab". That tab's URL address bar is blank. Zip - nothing displayed.
    When a blank page tab appears, I click on the HOME button you helped me remodel, and the "New Tab" description in the tab label area changes from "New Tab" to "Google".
    My question was to ask, if there was a way I could do something to make FF4 do that Home page assignment on its own. In the early FF days I found you could sometimes go into the bowels of FF, find some form of INI or SETTINGS type file, look for a Keyword reference that would tell FF to do something different, and Viola, emotional issue resolved. In this case, I'm trying to "Gild the Lilly" by asking if you, or someone else might have a rabbit they can pull out of their hat, just like you did when you helped me move my Home button, and have that rabbit show me how to do something that default FF-Options section doesn't support.
    Did I do a better job of explaining the issue this time?
    Thanks again for the response.

  • How do I set the home page for a new tab?

    How do I set the web page for when I open a new tab? Whenever I open a new tab it goes to an error site which freezes my firefox browser for a while. How do I change that? I want to open new tabs with google being the home page. I need to set up the homepage for a new tab NOT a new window. Please help! !

    If Google is set as your Homepage in Firefox you can middle-click ''(push down on the mouse wheel)'' to open Google in a new Tab.
    Or, you can add the feature to Firefox where clicking the New Tab button on the Tab Bar opens your Homepage in a new Tab. <br />
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
    And if you have a different Homepage set, this extension allows for any page you set in the extension's options to open when you use the new Tab button. <br />

  • How to set default search engine in Firefox for Android?

    Hi. I want to set a non-Google search engine as the default in Firefox on Android. I have installed the search engine as an add-on and it is working fine, but I would like to use it as the default search, rather than having to select it each time.
    Couldn't find the answer on here or anywhere else.
    Please note this only relates to Android.
    Thanks!

  • How do I keep my tabs open in Firefox for Android?

    Sometimes when I open Firefox for Android my tabs will disappear and I will need to scroll to the bottom of "Recent Tabs" and press "Open All." How do I set it so that my tabs stay open? This closing seems to happen every day or two and it means I need to keep reopening all my tabs. They shouldn't close unless I close them.

    Hello there,
    Try going to: Firefox Menu > Settings > Customize > Tabs to 'Always restore'.
    Hope this helps!
