How can I make my home page open in new tab?
I cannot find any simple instruction that will let me open have my designated home page open in each new tab. I don't want a blank page and I don't want the mozilla home page to open.

Firefox doesn't open the default homepage with a new tab, it opens the new tab page. Used to be somewhat easy to change that, but no longer.
In Firefox 41 the browser.newtab.url pref is gone. That pref was being abused by malware so frequently that Mozilla decided to remove that pref to eliminate that type of hijack. You will need an extension such as this to restore it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
Or for having your homepage as the new tab page, try this extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
If you are using Classic Theme Restorer, go into CTR options > Tabs (1) section and set your preference for the new tab URL there.
For Super Start you can use the about:superstart page.
