Hi, I've just switched to Firefox and I've been customising settings to make it work the way I like.

I prefer having my browser open a blank page whenever I open a new tab or a new window. I've noticed that Firefox opens my homepage when I open a new window, and unfortunately I'm not able to set that to a blank page on my work computer because my employer controls what I have set as my homepage.

Is there any way I can configure Firefox to open my new tab page, or a blank page, when I open a new window, instead of opening my homepage?

You can't change that Firefox opens the homepage(s) when you open a new window. If you can't change the homepage then you possibly can use a bookmark (e.g. about:blank) and hold the Shift key down and left-click to force opening this bookmark in a new window.

Oh well, I thought that might be the case. Thanks for confirming at least.
