Autoload Home Page
I have set my home page in Tools > Options > General. When I open a new tab, I am shown thumbnails of different sites I have visited. I have gone to about:config and changed browser.newtab.url to about:home as I saw suggested elsewhere.
When I open a new tab, the behavior is the same. Only if I press the Home button do I get to my home page. How do I fix this?

Correction. On opening a new tab now, instead of seeing the thumbnails, I see the Mozilla themed Google search. Still though, not my set home page.
Hello machinka, if you set about:home then is for the Firefox Google home page, you see the correct for the setup you set. you must set google.com or yahoo.com or machinka.com etc.

thank you
Thank you, Ideato. I reread that page again and found the bit I needed.
In the last update to Firefox an extension was added Home Tab 4.5 I have disabled this extension and the problem stopped happening. Top left of browser page click on Firefox Tab select add-on then select extensions on left of page disable Home Tab 4.5 .
