I want my homepage to open to my homepage everytime I open my browser. I think the browser is saving tabs from my previous session but I'm not sure. I'm really beginning to get aggravated with this browser and I love firefox...please help me fix this issue.

BTW, I tried to go to 'tools/options...' but I have no idea where my 'tools' is. When I click the firefox button on the top left of my browser it doesn't give me a 'tools' tab, and options just talks about toolbars and such. I don't get it.

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

For access to the Tools menu:

Firefox, along with a number of Windows programs, will show the menubar (File, Edit, View etc...) when you press the Alt key. You can then choose 'Options' from the Tools menu. Alternatively, click on 'Options' in the Firefox Button menu.

(If you'd like to keep the menubar around without pressing Alt, click the arrow next to 'Options' and select 'Menu Bar'. The Firefox button will be replaced with the menubar.)


Setting your homepage:

Open the Options panel and select the 'General' tab if it is not already selected. You can change what happens 'When Firefox starts' from here.
