I can't get it to set a blank home page, and the instructions given for this don't work.

The instructions say that if you want a blank home page, you should open a new tab, then click on the icon to the left of the space where the website name would be and drag it to the Home icon. Unfortunately, when I click on that icon, I can't grab and move it.

Instructions work for me that you describe from

perhaps drag the mouse a little faster.

You could just just use about:blank as your home page

The instructions on that page don't work, no matter how fast I drag the mouse. It's like there's nothing to pick up.

However, setting it to about:blank works perfectly. Thanks!
