Android. There is no gearwheel so I have to use the three dots then settings. How do I set it so a new tab is my home page. Hopefully I dont have to use another app just to get it to work right on a tablet.

You can set your Homepage to a new tab by following the below step

1. Tap on the three dot icon on the right hand side of the browser 2. Now tap on General option 3. After that tap on Set a Homepage option and just enter a website of your choice. For example like www.mozilla.com

From now onwards everytime whenever you open Mozilla browser you will see the tab with that page. Also requesting you to download the latest version of Mozilla Firefox (49.0.2) by using the link given below

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&hl=en

Please let us know for any other assistance.
