How do I set a new tab to open up as my home page, it currently opens up to a blank page called 'private browsing'?

Hello, my browser opens up to my home page but when I open up a new tab it is blank, I'd really like all new tabs to open up as my home page rather than a blank page. Is this possible?

Hi megamanmountain, it sounds as though you have Firefox configured to "Never Remember History", so a blank new tab page is normal.

To replace it, could you try the following add-on:

New Tab Override: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/

Does that work?
