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

When I open a new tab, it opens with bingle and I want it to open with Google, which is my home page.

You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage

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.

You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

I want a new tab to open as my home page not multiple pages

I want any new tab to open with my home page google and not multiple pages which are of no interest to me. It seems if you switch the option off you only get a blank page. If you use the add on feature it does not now work. this 'upgrade' is a nuisance.

'''Home page in New Tab''' 
There have been several ways suggested to do that, but the easiest for many users has been this add-on --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab

If you are referring to the search in the Add-ons Manager (''Firefox button > Add-ons'' or ''Tools > Add-ons'') that problem seems to have been corrected late yesterday afternoon. If you are referring to something else, you will need to give more details about what you are trying to do, the steps your are taking, what are the results of your action(s), and what you expect as a results.

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''''' .

Tried 2 hrs now, can't fix it: I want new tabs to open google, not blank page; dwnldng an add-on didn't work, & now config has many CT2504091 files, what next?

Currently, opening a new tab goes to a blank search page with an annoying advertisement, and I want it to open a new tab in google.com.
I've tried for over 2 hrs to fix this, following instructions I found. Nothing has worked.
I downloaded an add-on, but it did not work.
I then used about:config and tried changing "newtab" and "keyword" but those changes did not work.
I now see that the config list has dozens and dozens of files beginning CT 2504091, and I am wondering if those should be there.
I now fear i am making things worse if I keep trying, so I am writing to you.
Alos, I am reluctant to use the "reset" option because it says "will TRY to keep bookmarks," and my wife will NOT be happy if all her banking and other bookmarks disappear upon reset.
thanks in advance for your help.

You likely have a user.js file in the profile folder, this may sound like jargon now but the steps below shall fix this.
REMOVAL OF ADVERT
# Go to the Firefox Button and hover help, click "Troubleshooting information"
# A new page should now show similar to below.
# Under the Application Basics section, click on Show Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
# Go to the file named user or user.js, right click and delete.
# Now restart Firefox, and the advert should be removed.
If it isnt please use the searchreset tool linked below.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
* Just install it and it does extra work if above didnt work.
CHANGING TO GOOGLE.COM
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Type '''browser.newtab.url''' and double click the result of that name, a new window should now show, enter www.google.com into that window then hit OK.
# Does opening a new tab go to google.com now?
