Hi, When launching Firefox it opens with a blank page. There is no option to set a startup page in options (see attachment). How do I get it to open to a webpage not a blank page? Regards Karl

Chosen solution

Go to the about:config page in Firefox and bypass the warning. Find the browser.startup.page preference and press the pencil icon to change the value to 1. It sounds like it's probably currently set to 0, which opens a blank page when you first start Firefox.

Hope this helps.

On the left side of the Firefox settings page, there is a Home section. In there you will find the option to set the page(s) that's displayed when you open Firefox.

See How to set the home page for more information.

Hope this helps.

Hi Wesley Thanks for the reply but unfortunately it is already set to the page I would like as my home page. If I hit the home page button it goes to this page. The issue I am having is when I open Firefox it opens to a blank page not my home page and there is no option to change this (see attachments).
