[SOLVED] Setting Homepage in Firefox

vegiegardener · 06-19-2008, 01:08 AM

I think I may have missed something.................

In a fully installed version of UBUNTU and running Firefox V3.0b what is the procedure to set the home page?

Thanks in advance

In Windows the homepage setting can be found in Options, Main. The easiest way I've found to do it is to browse to where you want your homepage and then use the "Use current page(s) button.

OK - Problem solved. To change the homepage is different
On Firefox 3.0 on UNBUNTU.
Click "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Main" and there you are
On Firefox V2 on VISTA
Click "Tools" > "Options" > "Main" and there you go.
Many thanks to all who helped on this one.

I have the same problem the 2nd time I have downloaded firefox (it was different before) it now comes with the home page ask already set I have tried to change it by going to main page and changing there, but when I click off and then back on that bugger ask is back. I am now thinking of going back to ie where it is easy to change the home page.
