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 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

  • 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.<br />
    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.

  • I used to be able to click the Home icon using my center wheel to cause a new tab to open with my home page. This feature no longer works. Please advise.

    Suddenly, when I click the Home icon in the upper right of my Firefox page using my center wheel, a new tab no longer opens as
    my home page. Now, nothing happens when I do this.

    There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.
