Set default new tab page in Firefox

Go to tools > Options > On the main, change the startup page to google.com, then you are set?

Sorry Ryan, What you suggest does not work for other than the first opened page. Subsequently opened tabs default to blank unless you select a page from bookmarks and right-click "Open in new tab" The other way to get there is to use CTRL T to open the new tab and then click the Home icon to open your home page ( Presuming you have google set as your default start page like I do) It is annoying having to make that extra click when opening a new tab. Might be something to suggest to Mozilla so they can incorporate it in a future update I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

Richard, that is what I do now. But, like you said, it is annoying to have to click the home page icon. Maybe I will make that suggestion to Mozilla for their next release. Thanks, Tony "Computer security." — Oxymoron

I already did after reading your post here. If enough people make the suggestion then the developers might take it up. I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

Personally, I hope that suggestion is ignored, or only implemented as an option, not the default.

I find this very annoying too. But then they probably won't give us that option because as I see it you would only want it if your homepage is a search engine which makes an embedded search obsolete (even though it doesn't give you all the options you have on hand on the webpage.
