Hmm, if I change from firefox default to 'blank page' it will not open ff with msn, and when I add a tab it will not open the new tab with msn (just a blank page). I guess that works though I'd like to have it open with the search engine firefox home default.
The little home icon still opens ff with msn.
Under options home - new windows and tabs there is actually three options:
Firefox home default
Custom URL's
Blank page
I think the msn thing is inserted into the custom url's but I cant see it to change it.
This is odd. In my PC there are those 3 options for Home page, but only 2 options for New Tabs: Blank and FF default.
I set Home page to Blank and on start-up FF opens with Blank, though little Home icon still opens with FF default. Must be how FF is built, fine with me. I set New Tabs to FF default, and it opens in FF default.
Clear that "custom URL" window in Home page - highlight and click Delete. If your FF indeed has "Custom URL" option for New Tabs, - clear that "Custom URL" as well. Open FF default. Set Home page to "Current URL" and new tabs to "Current URL" or Blank. Restart FF.
If this doesn't help, clear browsing history and all the cookies amd restart FF. Sometimes FF opens on the last page you used earlier because it remembers history - so you need to clear it, this is how I understand it. Though I never took any IT courses, have taught everything myself.
