I have no problem setting up my home page, but new tabs open as blank pages. How do I set up Firefox to open new tabs to my home page, when I manually open a new tab?

"Donations" to add-on developers are not required. Add-on developers do appreciate donations from users since they devote their time and efforts free of charge to develop the add-on(s). Donations also help pay for costs incurred in operating a website and some have online help forums to help their users with support questions.

Tab Mix Plus is a great add-on, I use it and like it, but it is a bit "heavy"/large to install for just that one function. Tab Mix Plus performs many functions related to tabs and has many, many options that you can set related to tabs, including the one that your requested.

An add-on that is much smaller and is designed to perform that one function, opening a tab with the page you specify, is New TabURL:

Personally I use an add-on called Tab Mix Plus to solve this problem and I don't think Firefox can do it on it's own.

If you have Tab Mix Plus then you can:

1. Go to: Tools > Options > Tabs > Tab Mix Plus Options > Events > New Tabs

2. Set the top drop-down menu so that it looks like this: 'Load on new tabs: Home Page'

3. Click 'OK'

4. Click 'OK' again

If this was the answer you were looking for, please click 'Solved' -- Thanks.

Strongwind, thank you for your solution. I have not tried this yet. I am surprised that this takes a third-party add-on, and that Firefox does not have this as a basic feature. It is a basic feature with Internet Explorer. I also have a problem paying for a function that is standard with other competing "free" search engines. I realize that the cost for Tab Mix Plus is considered a "donation", but I would never take someone else's work for free. If Firefox requires that I buy Tab Mix Plus to accomplish this, Firefox is a feature-poor product.

SafeBrowser thank you for this solution. this is exactly what I had expected as a solution, but did not know where to get it. As for donations, I value everyone's time, especially people who have specific skills that benefit the rest of us. While I have been known to haggle about the price of a product, I would never discount, negotiate or "steal" the value of a person's time or skill. Again, thank you for helping to solve this issue with Firefox. I appreciate you and Strongwind taking the time to help me.
