When I first set up my tabs, I had google's "first" page saved as a tab. I somehow erased it, and now I can't get it back. It will only save a "search" page.
I have Google as my home page, and I like the "tiles", when I open a new tab. The first "tile", I pinned as Google's home page. so I can quickly, and easily copy (say, a celebrities name), hit tab hit Google and paste.
Now , I have lost the Google home page, and can;t get it back, as a tile. I don't want to change the tabs setting to go straight to Google every time, because I use the other tiles too.
I know it sounds petty, but i got quite used to having that,(and I know I can use bookmarks), but that is much more troublesome for my shaky hands than some people realize.

All you need to do is open a new tab, go to the last tile space at the bottom right of the page and, if it's used, click on the little X at the top right of the tile. Click until the space is empty. You may have to close several tiles before the space becomes empty.
Next, go to the address bar and type in google. The full address should pop up. Hit enter to go to the page. If you have to, type in the full address of google.com and hit enter. When the page loads, (and I'm assuming here that you have your browser set to remember your tabs when you re-open the window - if not see further instructions below), close the browser window. If a warning message pops up that "You are about to close ? many tabs" (where there is a question mark there will be a number), click OK.
Wait 5-10 seconds for the program to completely end and then open your browser again. When you open a new tab, you'll see the Google tile in the bottom right of the tile matrix. Click and drag it to whichever space you want it in and then click the little pin in the top left of the tile.
Voila! You should have your Google tile back. I too suffer from unsteady hands and can relate to hating bookmarks. However, you should be able to search for whatever you want to with the search in the address bar.
- Setting your browser to remember your tabs;
Under Tools; Options and the General tab, select "Show my windows and tabs from last time" in the drop down box beside: When Firefox starts.
