How do I get a new tab to automatically open as my home page instead of a blank one?
I want to click on the tab button and have my home page appear in the new tab instead of a blank page. Is this possible and, if so, how is it done?

Update Shockwave for Director: your ver. 11.0; current ver. 11.5.7.609 (important security update released 2010-05-11; see http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-12.html) NOTE: this is not the same as Shockwave Flash; this installs the Shockwave Player. SAVE the installer to your hard drive (Desktop is a good place so you can find it). When the download is complete, exit Firefox (File > Exit), locate and double-click in the installer you just downloaded, let the install complete. IMPORTANT: I have found it wise to always restart your system after doing anything with Adobe products. See: Installing Shockwave

That's a lot of "add-on" help :) Cheers, TXGuy !
Wow. Nice. and just a ton of good info. I am just wishing I knew who ya are. cause ya got great knowledge my man! Thanks much!
You can also middle-click the Home button, just like any other link. Middle-click and a Ctrl left click also works for some right-click context menu items like View Image and the list that opens with a right click on the Back and Forward button.
Found the answer in another thread discussing the same problem. Hit Ctrl and click the Home icon at the same time. Works great!
