Firefox new tab
When you open a new tab in Firefox, How do you change the 'home' page i.e. the search engine you use?
I think an AVG update has changed it to yahoo & it's b*gging the h*** out of me  I want Google  I know Tools / options / Home page - but it's not that  Sorry, bit of a lame request this I know but hopefully you can help  Stu |

Re: Firefox new tab
If I go "File" then "New Tab" it just opens up as (Untitled). Do you mean that yours opens as yahoo?
If I click on the Home page button with the middle mouse button, it opens a new tab with my normal homepage (google) |

Re: Firefox new tab
You mean open mutliple homepages on start up aye?
Can't remember, I moved onto opera, like it better, but will download firefox and tell you. Are you sure you can? I can't find a way to do it. Opera you definately can. Last edited by Sally; 18-06-09 at 05:12 PM. |
