My default home page is the Duckduckgo search page, which appears when I open Firefox. But when I open a tab, the Google search page appears. How do I set tabs to open at the Duckduckgo search page?

See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

You can set the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page to the URL of the Duckduckgo web page.
