How do you change the home page of a tab?

My home page is google.nl, but if I open a tab, I don't see google.nl.

Your new tab can be changed to a different page. First, I suggest copying the URL of the page you want from the address bar, then:
(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 filter box, type '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
''(i) Page thumbnails (default)''
about:newtab
''(ii) Blank tab''
about:blank
''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page''
about:home
''(iv) Any other page''
full URL to the page (paste what you copied)
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • How do you get the home page to stay the same when you reload your firefox after changing homepage

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>

    We previously had google as our main home page then tried a page called bearshare. Now we want to change the home page back to google. I have tried numerous times typing in the new home page under tools, options then general tab and when we close firefox and then reopen the page it loads bearshare again so we go back to tools option again and it has automatically changed back to bearshare. We are running windows xp on our system and prefer google but bearshare is annoying as it doesn't find alot of kids games sites that we can get through google. Please help what do we do to stop it from changing back all the time?

    Type '''''about:config''''' in a new window address bar. Click ''''''I will be careful'''''.
    You will see all kinds of information that Firefox uses so it knows how to
    work. There is a search bar at the top of the page. Type ''''''browser.startup.homepage'''''' and check its entry. You can change it to what
    ever web page you want, or you can enter; ''''''about:blank'''''' for a blank page.
    I use the Firefox home page; '''''about:home'''''. After, go back to the search bar
    and type; '''''browser.newtab.url'''''. This is what a new tab page will display.
    Do the same thing here. You can have the same for both or have each open to
    different pages.

  • How do you change the default Page Handling/Page Scaling settings?

    Hello, I use Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard. I work in the construction industry, so it is important drawings are printed to scale. when I go to print an A3 landscape pdf the page handling > page scaling settings automatically default to 'Fit to Printer Margins' - which then throws out the scale of the drawing content. I can manually change this setting to 'None' each time I print, but this is not fool proof as I sometimes forget.
    Is there a way to change the default setting for this property? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    I tried editing my first post but couldn't get there...
    If you can open Safari go to the top of your screen, click Safari / Preferences then select the General stab. You can type in the web address for your Home page there.

  • I loaded a jZip programme, now whenever I start Firefox it open with the jZip search page and I can't permanently change the home page to my own selection. How can I get rid of theis iZip home page

    I have tried all the optons to change the home page, but when I exit from Firefox and restart, it will revert to the iZip search engine home page. I even deleted the izip search engine reference from the searchplugin directory but with no success

    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for <i>jzip</i> via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.<br />
    You can reset all <i>jzip</i> related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

  • How do you change the language in iPad Pages?

    How do you change the language in iPad Pages? I tried lookin for it but I can't find it.

    What a lot of confusion in this discussion!
    The language of a text is a property of the text itself. If the keyboard or the language of the OS of the computer is changes afterwards, the language of the text remains what it was.
    Only at the moment when text is typed the keyboard settings may be used to identify the language. If you are able to imagine a text composed of sentences in different languages you should be able to understand this.
    Changing the keyboard in order to change the spellckeck only works at the moment of typing. With texts written earlier it is meaningless.
    When I import a document written in German on my Mac to my iPhone and iPad, Pages on iPhone and iPad do niot recognise that the text is German. The spelling checker underlines everything. And what people complain about here is that we do not find the place where to tell Pages that the existing, imported text is written in a certain language.
    Please stop mixing this up with keyboard issues!
