Hello Kevin,

Nb does any one know how to open a new tab so it opens your home page
and not a blank one?

If you've got a home button on the toolbar, middle (mouse button) click
on that.





$ firefox -new-tab<homePage>

This will either start ff with your homepage or add a new tab to an
already running version of ff.

Perhaps give this an alias...?

alias fh = 'firefox -new-tab<homepage>'

Then just "fh" from the command line?

Perhaps not want you want since delving into the command line seems a
bit mental just to do this simple thing. lol ?

Best wishes

Yes I just want to click on a new tab, and have it open with my home
page.....

I know generally a new tab is for going off to somewhere else, but I run
the Shop with a browser. So to leave one task open then open a new tab I
want to see the "Start" page rather than a blank one!

or maybe

Looks like you need to install an extension (which probably wont be too
much hassle?)

Cheers roly :-)

FF 13 does it in about:config

I generally don't have much luck with "about:config but here goes.....

Nope wont work but the Addon does in FF 13 so one forwards step for
Minions Shop.
