Mozilla Firefox Options

Mozilla Firefox Options

This document explains all of the options available in the Options window of Mozilla Firefox.

Main Options

Startup

When you open Firefox, by default your home page is displayed. Your home page might be a commonly-visited web site, a search engine, or perhaps your email account, but the choice is up to you. You can change your home page or choose to display a different page or set of pages on startup in this section.


When Firefox starts

By default, when Firefox starts it opens your home page (listed inthe textbox immediately below), which corresponds to the Show my home page option. Alternately, you can choose to display a blank page on startup (perhaps to eliminate the time required to load that page from the Internet) by selecting the Show a blank page option.


As a final alternative, you can have Firefox reopen the windows and tabs you had open the last time you ran Firefox, effectively restoring you to where you were when you last stopped browsing the Internet.This can be a handy way of saving what you were doing when you close Firefox, perhaps to install an operating system update. You can choose this option by selecting Show my windows and tabs from last time.


Home Page

If you've set Firefox to show your home page when you start Firefox, you specify your home page by typing it here. You can also click any of the buttons below the textbox to choose a special home page:

  • Use Current Page sets the currently-displayed page (or pages, if you have multiple tabs open) as your home page


  • Use Bookmark sets the selected bookmark (or if you select a folder, the set of bookmarks in that folder) as your home page


  • Restore to Default resets your home page to the default home page
