Hi, after having a few probs with IE7, i've decided to use FF, I'm finding it good so far, but in the options menu i cant find anywhere to set a new tab to open as my home page. any ideas.

Do you mean open up your homepage in a new tab? If so i just click in the mouse scroller thingy on the home page icon

Pretty sure he's after multiple tabs on opening the browser. Not sure how to do it myself.

If i just click on the tab bar it opens a blank page which is kind of irritating.

If so i just click in the mouse scroller thingy on the home page icon

Works perfect, thankyou.

Edit: thanks tolien thats better for me.

Open them in a window, then Tools -> Options -> Main -> Use Current Pages, or enter a list of URLs in the box separated by the pipe symbol (i.e. |)

You can change the new tab behaviour with an addon, like this.
