I just installed Firefox on a new computer and am having lots of issues w/set-up. I found the place in settings that lets you chose the home page and how new tabs are displayed, but the only options for new tabs seem to be Mozilla's default and blank page. For now I've set it to blank page but I'm trying to find a way that any new tab I open defaults to google. Thank you for your help.

Hello Phalgal,

setting a custom webpage is by default only supported as a homepage for when you open Firefox new.

There are however extenstions such as New Tab Override for example, which allow you to do exactly what you want

Best regards,

Mick
