all your instructions to make google my startup page answer how to make it the home page which is NOT my question.
Could someone please explain how to make Google a startup page, NOT HOME PAGE. It's very easy to set up the home page, but that, I repeat, is NOT what I am asking for. When I open a new window, I want to see Google's homepage appear, NOTHING ELSE. JUST GOOGLE'S HOME PAGE. I'm writing in caps because somehow, this question is repeatedly not being answered. So frustrating. I've been to options, I've been to the set home page section, I've entered www.google.com there, but again, when I open a new window, Google's home page does not appear. This really should be as easy as setting the home page.

Hello Scott586,
By default, at startup Firefox opens your homepage. If you want to see Google.com at startup, you would have to make it your homepage.
Having Google.com show when you open a new tab, you could consider using this add-on :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
To have it show when you open a new window, all you'd have to do is to press the Shift key before clicking the 'X' .....
I hope this answers your question, or (again) does it not even come close ?
"By default, at startup Firefox opens your homepage. If you want to see Google.com at startup, you would have to make it your homepage."
Not true. I set Google as my homepage already. If I click on the homepage icon, it goes to the Google homepage. If I open a new page, which is a startup of a new session, Google homepage does not appear.
When I go into the home menu to set the startup page, the only options are to have a blank page, or a firefox page. No option to list www.google.com as the startup.
I shouldn't have to add on anything. Restore the option to designate a start up page! It used to be there apparently!
There seems to be some confusion about what is a home page and what is a new tab page .....
You have set google.com as your homepage, and therefor you will see it when you first start Firefox (as Firefox opens your homepage at startup).
But what I think you want is to have that same page (google.com) show when you open a new tab - that is why I suggested that add-on ......
I will note, if you have Google set as your search engine, the search engine in the default Firefox home page and new tab page (or new window) will use google to search, so if that's all you want it's already there
