Hi chaps, I cannot get water fox to open a new tab and show my home page, it shows what sites just visited, can you help me please.
Cannot find any working help on the net atm.

I don't think there is an option to display the home page when opening a new tab, only for when you start the browser.

You can homepage open when opening a new tab, download an addon called NewTabURL.

Go into about:config, look for the setting "browser.newtab.url" and change the value from the default "about:newtab" to whatever URL you want.

I don't use Waterfox, but it works in Firefox and I don't suppose it's any different.

Thanks guys

Mr Fantastic, mines in there but it does not work.

CaptainCrash,thank you very much for the tip that got it sorted.

You're welcome.

On another note, I've tried both Waterfox and Palemoon plenty of times, and although other people swear they're faster than regular 32-bit Firefox, I've never noticed much difference in practice. Oh well...
