When I open a new tab I would like to see my home page. Right now it only shows a blank one. How can I change this?

I've tried to change it myself by going through the Options menu and Help menu. I can't seem to find it.

This Add-on will open a new tab when clicking the new tab "+" icon (or when clicking New Tab from the menu) to whatever page you set in the options for the add-on:
