When I select to open a new tab, it defaults to a blank (Untitled) page. after which I have to manually select the Home button. I would like to know if there is an option to force the new tab to open with my home page displayed.

cor-el,

I downloaded and configured the NewTabURL add-on and was able to open new tabs as I had asked.

Thanks for your assistance!

Found the answer in another thread discussing the same problem. Hit Ctrl and click the Home icon at the same time. Works great!

This works great. Just to help out, under Tools>Options, select Manage Add-Ons in the General tab. The option to select the URL you want is available there.

It is pretty stupid to not make this a standard option. It took me at least a half hour to find out how to make a simple change. I was initially directed to wrong add-ons that were entirely useless, such as Tab King. That one just opens a tab to a page where you can enter a URL. Might as well have it open to a blank page.

BTW, thanks for the help, this solution works great.

You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Reload button on the Navigation toolbar to open the current page in a new tab.
