When I open Firefox the screen goes to Google search screen. I want to change this but don't know how. Example, I would rather open Firefox and have the screen take me to Google News.

You will have to change the Home Page to the page your want to display. In order to do so, follow the steps below:


  1. Go to Options (i.e. \Firefox\Options\Options);
  2. Go to the General tab;
  3. Under Start-up - enter the URL in the Home Page URL box.

Also, make sure that you have chosen "Show my Home Page" under "When Firefox Starts" (use the drop down arrow).

You must be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, you must be faster than a speeding bullet.

All that to say, IT WORKED.

Many thanx
