When I open a new tab with the "+" button I get a blank page. I want my new tab to automatically open to my home page which I have set to Google. This is how IE8 does it.

This worked, and I appreciate it. Very aggravating. You have to find the add-on under "Tools" first. The setting to change the New Tab to launch immediately as your Home Page is there. Would have been nice to have that be the default, but it's fixed now, so thanks. http://videoquoter.com/
