I am trying to setup a home page on my Android mobile device. All changes require access through the menu. This works fine on my desktop computer but there is no menu button in the mobile version.

Hi rcbeeman39:

  1. Some Android devices have a menu button built directly into the device. In these cases, Firefox for Android hides its own menu icon . You can still access the Firefox menu by tapping on the device's menu button OR
  2. The hardware menu button is typically located at the bottom of the device, next to the home, search and navigation buttons.
  3. Full info including screenshots https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-menu-icon-missing-android-how-access-menu
  4. If the above doesn't help please let us know your Android phone or tablet model number (S4? HTC One? etc), Android Operating System version (jellybean 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, kitkat 4.4, lollipop 5.0,e tc) and exactly what you did, what happened and what you expected
  5. Finally there is no supported way to " setup a home page" on Firefox for Android. The unsupported 3rd party add-on Home Changer may work for you: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/home-changer/?src=search Also you may find that customizing the start screen may be good enough: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-awesome-screen-search-web-bookmarks-and-more

Fingers crossed the above helps a wee bit!
