Home page to show in new tab...

more options

When I click on a new tab it is labeled untitled. How do I get my home page automatically come up when I open a new tab. In the option field under tools, I have the setting set to open my home page when I open firefox, but i doesn't work when opening tabs. When I open a new tab I then I have to click on my homepage Icon to get home page to do a new ssearch.

I have three pages of my own on tabs


The built-in Firefox search bar works just as a well as the search in the default home page.
