When I open a new tab, I want it to default to a specific home page rather than just a blank (untitled) page.

I am using Firefox 3.6.9

When I open a new browser, I have set it to open to my home page. I want the same default page to open when I open a new tab.

Thanks, Jim

Thanks for the concise info.

I installed the add-0n from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777/ (took about a minute) and now it does exactly what I want.

Sincerely, Jim
