Hi Stuart

When you open a new tab in Firefox for Android it will open on the home screen. By default you can search with Google straight from the address bar.

I hope that this helps.

Thanks for your response. However I think it speaks volumes ie "......When you open a new tab in Firefox for Android it will open on the home screen......"

Its not "the" homepage I seek, I want to set MY homepage. That is, I want to set it the way I want it.

Perhaps its time to look for an alternative to what was once an excellent piece of software.

Thank you again for your response. Appreciated.

No problem, glad I could help.

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request for Firefox and other Mozilla products. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
