I want to make all new tabs I open my default homepage instead of them being completely blank.

I want to keep the tab feature however, when I click the "+" symbol to open up a new tab a blank page shows up. I tried doing the "about:config", but there's no "browser.newtab.url" option. All I want is to have my current, custom, homepage to show up automatically when I click the tab button.

Hi FirefoxJord,

Try this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/new-tab-homepage/

Let me know if this helps.

My homepage is on my hard drive, and this addon does nothing but give me a blank page.

Hi nightshift001,

In the release notes of version 0.6.2 of the New Tab Homepage add-on I read: "Fixed an issue where locally hosted homepages were not opened in the new tab."

Haven't tried it myself, but can you confirm you're using the latest version of this add-on? If so, you could file an issue on the support page of this add-on.

Best regards, BelFox
