homepage - Set the new-tab page in Firefox

    A couple of months ago, I configured Firefox to load a local html file containing my commonly-used links whenever I open a new tab

    This week I've been trying to find where I set this up. I cannot find this setting anywhere in the Firefox options. Somewhere there is (or was) a dialog box with an item that said something like 'Page to load in new tab'. Where was it? Could Mozilla have removed it in the latest upgrade?

    I'm not using any extensions but LastPass, so it's not controlled by an extension.

    • Open a new tab and type about:config in the address bar
    • Click "I'll be careful"
    • Select browser.newtab.url
    • Double click on that line and change the value to the address of your local file

    startup - Firefox Start page stay white
  • Questioner

    I'm a Firefox user since several years so I know it but today I had a strange problem. I installed the last stable version of Firefox (3.5.5) on a computer but when I launch the browser the page stay empty (blank).

    In the settings I set the startpage as Google but nothing to do. When the browser starts in the address bar it is well written google.com but the page remains blank. I must click on the button in the address bar so that the site appears.

    I've never had this problem with Firefox, it's strange. Thanks

    Are you running 64-bit windows 7? I had the same problem on Google Chrome with an early build of Windows 7 64-Bit.
