hi, a well intentioned friend has just messed up with my firefox, i haven't got the normal start page.. I know they went into Tools, Options, and change the home page, it is set default at Foxstart, and i have tried changing it back to the normal home page but it seems to be absent from the scroll down options.. The best i have been able to do is put start page and now i get a blank page where i can use the top bar to browse, BUT i just really want my home/start page back.. Don't you hate it when people mess about with your pc?!

It looks like this question has been asked before in our forum, but I'm not sure if the answers will work for you. Could you give these a try and let us know if it fixes things?

no, i'm sorry the link you posted is not helping me, and i have looked at how to set the home page, i have done it before, but it is just that this time in my scroll down options for the home page i have not got the right one.. i can see from my other pc it should be mozilla official, but it is absent.. Right now my home page is now set at the community, and the default is foxstart.. I don't get it and i feel really frazzled. thank you for your help. i hope you can help me sort it out
