I downloaded a software that helps me convert my laptop into a Wifi hotspot. It asked me(during installation) to set homepage of my browser as Yahoo search engine. After downloading it, I tried to Refresh Firefox by clicking in "Troubleshooting information", but it hasn1t worked so far. I would like to see Mozilla Firefox homepage when I start my internet connection. Kindly help. Thanks and regards, Devdatta.

You can find the home page setting here:

  • Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page

Note that Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
