I want new tabs to open to my home page.
I do have the new mozilla set so any new tabs will open with just the search field, but I do no want this. I want new tabs to open to my home page. I'm on a Toshiba 64-bit laptop now, but the situation is the same with my imac.

dmorsekahn, I use the New Tab Overide add on (v12.0.0 is the latest update I have.)
I have it set to open all new tabs to google. It does this without fail.
When I click on a link on another page or anywhere for that matter, I go to wherever that link sends me. I do not go to google.Baca jawaban ini dalam konteks 👍 0

Hi, For nearly 20 versions now, you have needed an add-on to do this. The best known probably is:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
To adjust its options, after installing, go to the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
- type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return
In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions. Then find New Tab Override on the right side and click its Options button. Some extension do not have an Options button, so click the More link in that case.
I have followed your suggestion and added and configured the add on: New Tab Over-ride. My home page is clearly set, and Firefox opens to it correctly; however, new tabs now open to a blank page, not my home page. Also, can you tell me what the Focus option in the add-on does?
Is this home page located on a localhost?
So, I undid the "current home page" option in the add-on and set the field to "custom url", then added the desired url into the required field. This worked. Curious why you felt the need to say, "For nearly 20 versions now, you have needed an add-on to do this." Was that statement intended to help?

Hmm, I don't remember. I may have been mixing up your question with one in another thread.
Hi folks, I always had my new tabs open to my home page - Google - when I manually opened them by clicking the next + symbol along the tab row. Now the new tabs are blank, no Google search window.
I downloaded the extension 'Tab Over-Ride' but have refrained from using it thus far out of concern that the software is going to over-ride ANY tab I open from links.
Any advice? Many thanks as always.
Hi dmorsekahn, this thread is really close to its six-month auto-lock point. Could you start a new question and indicate your Firefox version and share your add-ons list?
There is no built-in setting to replace the new tab page with another page, so some extension must have been responsible for doing that for you up to now.

UPDATE: The New Tab Override extension allowed me to select my custom home page, Google.
IT WORKS! I left feedback and a small donation.
