How to Reset a Firefox Home Page

If you use Firefox as your primary web browser, you likely find that it is preferable to Internet Explorer or other web browsers you have tried. Firefox has gained tremendous popularity in recent years due to its simple navigational structure, few pop-up ads and overall ease of use. Just like in any web browser, you can reset your Firefox home page to be any site you choose. This means that every time you open Firefox, the web page of your choice will appear as your home page. Also, when you click on the small house icon from your toolbar menu, it will return you to this home page.

Things You'll Need

• Firefox browser
• Website of your choice

Instructions

1. Open Firefox. A new browser window should appear.

2. Click on "Tools" in the top menu list. A drop-down menu will appear.

3. Select "Options" from the drop-down menu.

4. Choose the "Main" tab from the top of the box that appears. New menu items will appear. At the top, under Startup, it should say, "Home Page."

5. Enter the URL of the homepage of your choice into the box to the right of that field. Now your chosen URL will be listed to the right of the "Home Page" field.

6. Click the "OK" button, located in the bottom right-hand side of the box.

Tips & Warnings

• You can change your Firefox home page at any time and as many times as you wish.
