Basic Firefox Guide

Basic Firefox Configurations

Go to Tools > Options.

Click on Main.

Startup

Startup section lets you configure your home page.

If you select Show my home page from the drop-down list for When Firefox starts, Firefox will load whatever home page you've set it to. In my example, it will load a blank page.

f you select Show a blank page from the drop-down list for When Firefox starts, Firefox will show you a blank page. It's very much like setting about:blank as your home page.

Selecting Show my windows and tabs from last time for When Firefox starts will load all the websites that you've opened in your last session. It's very useful if you have done your research half way and don't want to search around again. This option eats up the most resources as well, so use it only when needed.

As for the Home Page field, it's self-explanatory. It will set your homepage. I prefer it to be blank. You can set anything you want.

If you decide to set one of your bookmarks as homepage, select the Use Bookmark button. Bookmarks Manager will open. Choose your favourite bookmark and click OK.

Clicking on the Restore to Default button will restore Firefox's homepage to its default page, which is a Google search page, modified to suit Firefox.
