When I open a new tab in Firefox it opens as a blank page - I have been all over the settings and can't get it to open to the firefox page. Can you fix that or tell me how to fix that so I don't get a blank page?

Hi Robin, You can try typing about:config into your address bar, then clicking "Accept the Risk and Continue".

Afterwards, type "browser.newtabpage.enabled" and click the "swap" icon on the right of the row to change it to "True" if it was not set to True in your case.

Hopefully that resolves your issue!
