Title: Firefox
Post by: Chris_ on January 11, 2008, 10:15:46 AM
I successfully got it onto my computer late last night, but I have a question.

How do I make a website my home-page  using Firefox?  I can't find the option anywhere to change the home-page.  :thatsright:

There should have been an option when you first opened it up "Make Firefox my default browser".

That is not what I'm asking.  I want to make this website (CC) my homepage in the Firefox browser.  Is there no option for that?

I have CC as my homepage in IE...why can't I have it that way in Firefox?

Sorry. Only one cup of coffee so far.

Click on "Tools" then "Options", then you should see the option.

I've used FF since it was called Phoenix and have never gone back to IE.

Well, IE 7 had tabbed browsing too.

Yeah, but I really don't need it.    I tend to be somewhat of a spelling Nazi at times.  :rofl:

Run an anti-spyware program and scan. After that, you'll appreciate the security of Firefox on the subsequent scans.

Those of us running Safari have had tabbed browsing for years.

Tabbed browsing has been in many browsers, including th early versions of Firefox (then called Firebird). I think that goes back 5 years or so.
