If a warning screen comes up, press the '''Be Careful''' button. This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type '''browser.newtab.url''' This tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened. If you want, right click and select '''Modify'''. You can change the setting to; '''about:home''' (Firefox default home page), '''about:newtab''' (shows the sites most visited), '''about:blank''' (a blank page), or you can enter any '''web page''' or '''about: page''' you want. The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as '''browser.startup.homepage'''.
