When we browse the internet , we like to have a good browser and that its configuration suits our needs. Firefox is undoubtedly one of the browsers preferred by users, and is that the novelties and configurations that it is introducing in its latest versions, make it very attractive..
If we use this browser, we may want to establish a home page such as a search engine, or a web page that we visit a lot. Then we will explain how to change the homepage in Firefox, and how to reset it if necessary.
Firefox Quantum is listed as one of the best browsers that have been developed by Mozilla and it is not for less, since Quantum has modified its environment, its features, its design and, a key aspect, its security . Many pages take advantage when we enter them to suggest, sometimes invasively, that we establish that page as the main one and do it without thinking about it. Other times we simply want to change the pages that are displayed when we open our browser and fail to find a way to do it. Recently, the Firefox development team launched a new version of Quantum which is Firefox 61 which is already available and has new improvements and new features. To upgrade to this new version of Quantum, we must go to the "Help / About" section and there update the browser:
One of the new features that have been added in this new version of the Quantum browser is a set of options related to the new tab page and the home page and therefore TechnoWikis will explain how to make use of these options. If at any time we want to undo the settings that we have applied with the use of the browser, we can reset it and leave it as if it had just been installed for the first time..
With this new version 61 of Firefox, a new "Start" page is included from the Settings section, it is possible to change several options of the New tab page, including deactivating extensions that replace the new tab page and it will also be possible to add or remove Web Search, Main Sites, Highlights and more.
